Sounds like your fstab entry may not be correct.  Try this:

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt

See if the partition mounts correctly or note any error messages.  If it
mounts correctly, do:

sudo umount /dev/sda6

Now try:

sudo mount /dev/sda6

This will use the entry for /dev/sda6 in your /etc/fstab and attempt to
mount it on the directory you specified.  Note any error messages which
will help you track the problem down.

BTW, you do not have to reboot to mount a disk partition, but it is a
good idea to check the boot sequence to make sure the /etc/fstab is
correct.
