Syncthing and fstab mounts

Those are intended for and supported only on filesystems which do not support UNIX file ownership and permissions, such as ntfs or vfat. Please read through the following tutorial and bookmark it… :point_down:

ext4 is a Linux-native filesystem and therefore it should not be mounted with those options — nor are they supported, as the system clearly refuses to mount them when you set those options.


I am not familiar with that software, but you should bear in mind that if the mountpoint is somewhere under the /run hierarchy, then those permissions will probably not be saved due to the fact that /run itself is a tmpfs — which is also explained in the above-linked tutorial — and therefore, the contents of /run do not persist across reboots.

Perhaps the following tutorial will also be of use to you… :point_down:

:wink:
