My Mac partition just crashed and I would like to backup my documents using my Ubuntu partition. I am able to mount the partition but it says I do not have permission to access the files. Any ideas? I am not able to startup the Mac partition to changes the permission settings. Help!

as root you can access and copy stuff. Then just copy that whole stuff you need with the -p parameter (to preserve ownership and timestamps, so you can put it back later).
