4th column: Mount options >
Defaults Uses the default options that are rw, suid, dev,
exec, auto, nouser, and async.
< 5th and 6th columns: Dump and fsck options >
The 5th column in /etc/fstab is the dump option. Dump
checks it and uses the number to decide if a filesystem
should be backed up. If it's zero, dump will ignore that
filesystem. If you take a look at the example fstab, you'll
notice that the 5th column is zero in most cases.
The 6th column is a fsck option. fsck looks at the number
in the 6th column to determine in which order the
filesystems should be checked. If it's zero, fsck won't
check the filesystem.
