Busybox does not support these flags, and so fails with "Invalid argument". $ sudo busybox mount -t tmpfs -o x-gdu-hide test /tmp/test mount: mounting test on /tmp/test failed: Invalid argument These flags can likely be be safely ignored, as they don't actually affect the functionality of the mount. This goes for all mount options starting with "x-", as these generally denote non-standard mount option "extensions". I've created a patch against Busybox which adds an optional configuration item to ignore all mount options beginning with "x-". An additional verbose option has also been added to enable the ability to report that the mount flags have been ignored, rather than silently ignoring them. This is a requirement for a customer project, where we are limited to using Busybox (due to coreutils' GPL-3.0 licence) but would also require using Snaps like checkbox for testing and verification. This was posted on the Busybox mailing list a few months ago (http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2023-March/090202.html) but patch acceptance there seems to take quite a long time, and we need this for the customer.
