man mount:
errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic
Define the behaviour when an error is encountered.
(Either ignore errors and just mark the file system
erroneous and continue, or remount the file system
read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The
default is set in the filesystem superblock, and
can be changed using tune2fs(8).
