Talk:Fstab

With regards to the statement: "change the mount-options of the /etc/fstab entry from  to something like   which is the equivalent of the options in default and also allows non-root mounts" and with reference to https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount :

  (NB: not  ) equates to:    / (NB: the latter includes the former) implies:   all of the above can overridden by explicitly setting options after using / /  specifying the  option near the end of your option list 'undoes' the   earlier in the list 

So, a better suggestion for mount options might be just:

which evaluates to:

You may wish to use the more permissive  instead of , depending on your requirements.

You may then wish to append some/all of the following, depending on your requirements:  (look up what they mean before switching them on!)

Mounting encrypted partitions
Find below some slight modifications to the archwiki on mounting LUKS encrypted partitions at boot: - Followed the wiki to create and format a Luks partition on the eMMC (or a location of your choice) - Created a keyfile, saved it in the /root folder, modified file permissions, and added to a keyslot - Added relevent entries to /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt for target/source/keyfile - rc-update add dmcrypt boot - Added relevent entries to /etc/fstab following the recommendations for user mounting privilages - rc-update add localmount default

This successfully automounts the luks partition at boot. This can be used to setup the eMMC as a common encrypted /home partition, shared across multiple SD cards each with their own distribution installed.
