How do I change the behaviour of the defaults flag in fstab?
I want to add nofail to the defaults flag in my fstab so my system doesn't boot in to recovery mode every time I plug in a new device and reboot.
I know that I could just go and edit my fstab manually each time but that's a massive hassle.
EDIT: I have figured out a stopgap solution writing the output of cat /etc/fstab | sed 's/nofail,//'| sed 's/defaults/nofail,defaults/' to /etc/fstab but it is both ugly and I have to manually remember to run the script after every (EDIT: new) drive gets attached.

Why do you run it "each time"? Please read meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem

Pilot6: should I use a different set of flags? I'm not too familiar with mount options so I'm wary of creating my own for fear of buggering something up.
