nodev Disallow device nodes Security-sensitive environments
noexec Disallow program execution Security-focused deployments
atime Enable access time recording Monitor file access patterns
diratime Enable directory access time recording Track directory access time
relatime Update access and modification times relative to stat time Reduce write amplification, improve performance
data=ordered Ensure sequential writes are flushed to disk immediately Databases requiring strict write ordering
fstype Specify the filesystem type Usecase-specific filesystems (examples: XFS, ext4)
