This is the most useful response you got, but my experience with hfs+
drives is that it doesn’t matter if you tune your fstab perfectly, it will
always have trouble with mounting, spontaneously unmounting, remounting
from sda to sdb or from rw to ro. Apparently the write-mode driver just
isn’t stable. And yes, even with journaling disabled on the hfs+ drive
(which you definitely need to do before trying to mount as rw, google it).
