If you plan on detaching the volume regularly or moving it between other Linodes, you may want to consider adding the flags `noatime` and `nofail` to the **/etc/fstab** entry.
76+
77+
* `noatime` - This will save space and time by preventing writes made to the filesystem for data being read on the volume.
78+
* `nofail` - If the volume is not attached, this will allow your server to boot/reboot normally without hanging at dependency failures if the volume is not attached.
79+
80+
Example:
81+
82+
FILE_SYSTEM_PATH /mnt/BlockStorage1 ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2
