When I create/add storages via the GUI (for example via Disks | Directory) then this devices are mounted automatically after a restart - without an entry in /etc/fstab?

Where does Proxmox save this mounts and options? Is it possible to change mount options?

Hi,
the disks are mounted via systemd .mount config files. You can find them in /etc/systemd/system/ and by editing you could also edit the mount options.

Hi. Is this path only for user's manual mount disks? Because I couldn t see system's disks except the one I created (see below mnt-pve-extusb.mount)

systemd supports both .mount units in all the usual places and /etc/fstab entries (for which transient .mount units will be generated automatically in the background).

e.g., you can do the following to see all the mount units and where they come from:
systemctl list-units "*.mount" and then look at individual units with systemctl show UNIT_NAME or systemctl cat UNIT_NAME
