mount options

Mount options are settings used when connecting a storage device, like a hard drive or USB, to a computer's operating system. They determine how the device is accessed and what features are available. For example, options can control whether files can be read or written, whether the device is treated as removable or permanent, or how it handles errors. By specifying these options, users can optimize performance, enhance security, or customize the experience based on their needs. Understanding mount options helps ensure devices function correctly and efficiently within the system.
