Mounting read-only helps.

I didn't edit the /etc/fstab file to mount the drive. It automagically did it for me (nice!).

How does libreelec auto discover and mount drives?

Hello, any suggestions how to prevent corruption when the power fails?

I've just replaced my kodi 18 with an ext3 drive with a kodi 20 using an NTFS drive. NTFS was supposed to be less susceptible, but that's not what I've seen so far.

Since 99.9% of the time I am reading from a static file system can I turn off write caching?

(before you suggest it I bought a UPS. I'm hoping to get NUT compiled on it so the UPS can shut down the RPI3 when the power fails).

Thanks
