Default mount options can be configured in the main program preferences (<em>Settings -&gt; Preferences).</em></p>
<h4>Filesystem mount options under Linux</h4>
<p>Under Linux, the <em>Mount Options</em> dialog also contains a <em>Mount options</em> field for filesystem mount options. The value entered there is passed to the system <code>mount</code> command with <code>-o</code> when the filesystem inside the VeraCrypt volume is mounted. For example, entering <code>noatime</code> prevents Linux from updating inode access times on filesystems that support this option, reducing metadata writes caused only by file access. Multiple options can be specified as a comma-separated list, for example <code>noatime,nosuid,nodev</code>. Unsupported options are handled by the operating system and may cause mounting to fail.</p>
<p>The Linux preference <em>Mount NTFS volumes with the Linux kernel ntfs3 driver</em> is disabled by default. When enabled, VeraCrypt probes the decrypted virtual device with <code>blkid -p</code> and mounts detected NTFS filesystems with the in-kernel <code>ntfs3</code> driver instead of the default NTFS backend. If NTFS detection fails, VeraCrypt uses the normal automatic filesystem selection. If <code>ntfs3</code> is unavailable or blocked by the Linux distribution, mounting may fail. This opt-in option can help on systems where suspend or hibernation can hang if user-space FUSE filesystems such as <code>ntfs-3g</code>/<code>fuseblk</code> are frozen while the kernel is syncing filesystems. The actual mounted filesystem type can be checked with <code>findmnt</code>.</p>
<p>The command line equivalent is <code>veracrypt --fs-options=noatime &lt;volume&gt; &lt;mountpoint&gt;</code>.</p>
<h4>Mount volume as read-only</h4>
<p>When checked, it will not be possible to write any data to the mounted volume.</p>
