You should read a howto to understand what you're doing.
My fstab for good reasons does something different to an averaged
command line mount:
$ sudo umount /dev/sda11
$ sudo mount /dev/sda11 /mnt/music
$ grep /dev/sda11 /etc/mtab
/dev/sda11 /mnt/music ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
$ sudo umount /dev/sda11
$ sudo mount -a
$ grep /dev/sda11 /etc/mtab
/dev/sda11 /mnt/music ext3 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
IOW you should read and learn what e.g. "relatime" vs "noatime" are for.
What are the defaults?
What is "0 0" for?
Btw. the /etc/fstab entry is this one:
$ grep /dev/sda11 /etc/fstab | grep -v "#"
/dev/sda11 /mnt/music ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
So how about the fsck? Is it unimportant?

Ralf
