<p>The chosen values are then written to VeraCrypt main configuration file (Configuration.xml) making them persistent.</p>
<p>Under Linux, default filesystem mount options can also be specified in the <em>Mount options</em> field. For example, entering <code>noatime</code> makes VeraCrypt pass this option to Linux <code>mount -o</code> for subsequent mounts. These defaults can still be changed for an individual mount from the password dialog's <em>Options</em> button.</p>
<p>All subsequent password request dialogs will use the default values chosen previously. For example, if in the Default Mount Parameters dialog you check TrueCrypt Mode and you select SHA-512 as a PRF, then subsequent password dialogs will look like:<br>

<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 command line equivalent is <code>veracrypt --fs-options=noatime &lt;volume&gt; &lt;mountpoint&gt;</code>.</p>
