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.
