Title: where to set vfat mount options
Post by: frank4 on February 15, 2024, 04:31:12 AM

Hi there,
I am using piCore Audio on a Raspberry Pi 2 and I really like it. I have some experience with Debian but I'm challenged to understand how things are done in TC. I hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

I am using a vfat usb drive that is mounted

/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,flush,errors=remount-ro)

I would like to mount it with errors=continue option. Where do I define these standard mount options?
I know that fstab is created from /usr/sbin/rebuildfstab, but these standard are not defined there. Also, I can edit /usr/sbin/rebuildfstab to set boot options for vfat, but after a reboot, my changes to /usr/sbin/rebuildfstab are reverted...


Thank you so much,
Frank

I recommend you download this fine book by curaga:

I think the hour you spend reading it will be well worth your time.

I will refer you back to the book. The term you are looking for is  "persistence".
