The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determ=
ine
the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root
filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesy=
s-
tems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be
checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be chec=
ked
at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If
the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is returned
and fsck(8) will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checke=
d.
Since you don't want to run fsck on the ntfs volume, set this to zero.

P.S. It's usually helpful to transcribe the exact error, instead of
describing vague symptoms.
