Title:
  fstab.5 has incorrect description of fs_passno

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubiquity creates the ESP line in /etc/fstab in a way that conflicts
  with the description of the /etc/fstab in the man page for fstab.

  The 16th paragraph in the man page for fstab describes fs_passno.  It
  is supposed to be 1 for the root filesystem, 2 for all other
  filesystems which are to have fsck run on them, and 0 for all other
  mounts for which fsck is not to be run.

  However, Ubiquity uses fs_passno 1 for the ESP line in fstab.
  Eg, after installing Ubuntu on a UEFI system, the fstab file looks like:
  UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1

  According to the fstab manpage, it should be:
  UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 2
