18 Quoting the fstab manpage:
19
20 """""
21 The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program[.]
22 If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned
23 and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
24 """""
25
26 It works here (I run reiserfs, which does a quick scan before it mounts
27 an fs regardless, and which won't do anything much heavier in a -a fsck
28 anyway), but note that I'm on baselayout-2/openrc. I'm not sure whether
29 that works for baselayout-1 users or not.
