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

Answer Posted / gopi

(0) is used by dump (a backup utility) to decide if a
filesystem should be backed up. If zero then dump will
ignore that filesystem. The sixth field (0) is used by fsck
(the filesystem check utility) to determine the order in
which filesystems should be checked.
If zero then fsck won't check the filesystem.
