Archived thread 387020 from Apple Intel Users. Markdown source: Apple_Intel_Users/thread_387020_Permenantly_mounting_OSX_Partition.md
Is there a way to permantly mount the OSX partion. I can do it manually by typing:
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosX
in terminal but I have to do it everytime I boot up. Ive search the forum and found a post about editing my fstab to get it to mount but it didnt work for me. any help would be appreciated thanks!
Hi there,
Adding your filesystem to /etc/fstab is the right thing to do. Could you post the addition you made, and any error messages it produced?
Add this to /etc/fstab /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosX hfsplus auto,defaults 0 0
Spacing is important in this file (a bad design imho) it should be a tab between group of words.
Change auto to noauto, if you don't want it on as soon as you boot up.
Thanks that worked :)
