Again, the reference to the magic number 2 in fstab.
I looked it op in the man page for you:


       The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the
dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be  dumped.   If
 the  fifth
       field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will
assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.

       The  sixth  field,  (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program
to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot
time.  The root
       filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other
filesystems should have a fs_passno of  2.   Filesystems  within  a
drive  will  be
       checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be
checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the
hardware.  If the
       sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned
and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.


I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you are just giving *wrong*
information. Fields 5 and 6 have nothing to do with automounting the
filesystem.

Perhaps I don't understand you and you mean something else?
