I see many people flag through fstab. And uses different flags. If I mount through KDE partition manager. It only mount with auto flag.
So, I need suggestion for what is the best flag to mount ext4 or ntfs partition through fstab? Please provide some example.
You can mount ext4 partitions with -t ext4 and similar ntfs with -t ntfs-3g.
Here is my fstab:
UUID=de933c27-2061-4dc0-944a-a7bd71a86d57 /boot ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=7e99bfbe-ca27-4afb-9b88-9c8bddfb134c / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=9f37810a-7288-47e3-9bbe-7a864bd7b290 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=4ee1699b-a21c-4f5a-849d-f41aa37200ce /var ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=9AE4-62B5 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 2
UUID=43166bcb-eb7f-4f68-8360-3bd6c383f3c1 /data ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

This mount(8) — Arch manual pages and that ext4(5) — Arch manual pages?
“Best” doesn’t exist, unless you give heavy details for maybe optimizing some things. The defaults in Manjaro would probably be good for you.

You have interesting things here on Archwiki related to fstab
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab
But they do not explain everything, there are many guides, this one could be a start for you

What @omano said: there is no “best” for everyone. The “best for me, myself and I are:”
noauto,
x-systemd.automount,
x-systemd.device-timeout=10,
rw,
inherit,
permissions,
streams_interface=windows,
windows_names,
compression,
norecover,
hide_dot_files,
hide_hid_files,
big_writes
and if you want to have “the best for you, yourself and Pulsar”, read this, created by one of the authors of the ntfs-3g driver and only then will you have the best (but only for yourself)

My apologies if the question is wrong or I’ve always mounted disks with fstab and it amazes me and I don’t understand those instructions for systemd 
I need some reference or explanation to see what its function is
Sorry for the intrusion and thanks for your patience
Thanks
