Yep.  The sixth field is the fsck pass number.  fsck runs in order of
pass number, entries with the same number are run in parallel.
According to the man page, the root filesystem should be 1, so it's
checked first and by itself, and the other filesystems should be 2, so
they'll all be checked in parallel.  You'll probably want to adjust
these taking into account your disks and controllers.
