Linux - Allow `noatime` mount option from GUI

[sranders1]

Desired behavior

When I mount encrypted drive or container from Veracrypt GUI on Linux, it mounts with 'relatime'. Could you mount it with 'noatime' to disable last access time check for privacy reason?

Or at least add the checkbox so the user can decide how to mount it.

• Prevent changing Last Access Time

This is already supported on Linux.

In the GUI, open the password dialog, click "Options" and enter:

noatime

in the "Mount options" field. To make it the default for future mounts, use Settings -> Default Mount Parameters -> Mount options and enter noatime there.

The CLI equivalent is:

veracrypt --fs-options=noatime <volume> <mountpoint>

The value passed through --fs-options / "Mount options" is forwarded to mount with -o, so comma-separated options such as noatime,nosuid,nodev also work.
