Docker Volume Mounts: Essential Flags
Mount flags in Docker are parameters that define how volumes are mounted within containers. They control access levels and behavior of the mounted data, ensuring appropriate interaction between the container and the host filesystem. Flags like `:ro` (read-only) and `:rw` (read-write) specify access permissions, while `:shared` and `:rshared` manage how changes are propagated across multiple containers. Understanding these flags is crucial for optimizing container performance and data security in Docker environments.
