In /etc/fstab, what is the meaning of defaults word and 0 0 indicates which options?..

Answer / Raksha Gupta

In Linux's /etc/fstab file, 'defaults' refers to a set of default mount options specified in the mount(2) man page. Common options include 'user', 'exec', 'suid', and 'async'. The numbers `0 0` at the end specify no dump or pass information for backup and fsck utilities respectively.
