Taken from fstab(5) manpage: The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which file system checks are done at reboot time. The root file system should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other file systems should have a fs_passno of 2. File systems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but file systems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hard- ware. If the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck(8) will assume that the file system does not need to be checked. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
