As I said, I sit corrected. That's why this sort of help is often
better than one on one.

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.

That's the sixth field reformated.
