I just got my install of 9.10 up and running. It works well overall but i wanted to gain access to my osx disk for certain files but i do not have permissions. I was using the guide posted at the top of this fourm but when i try and change my user groups there i get an error that says:

larry@larry-laptop:~$ sudo groupmod -g 20 larry
groupmod: GID '20' already exists


Is this step not needed in 9.10, or is there another way to change permissions.

I added this to my /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/osx hfsplus defaults 0 0

I can then access the osx partition in /mnt/osx

Change /dev/sda2 to your needs, it might be another partition where your version of osx resides...You have to also create the mountpoint if it's not there yet

sudo mkdir /mnt/osx
