9 The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the
10 dump(8) command to determine
11 which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth field is not
12 present, a value of zero is
13 returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need
14 to be dumped.
15
16 The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to
17 determine the order in which
18 filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem
19 should be specified with a
20 fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno
21 of 2. Filesystems within a
22 drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different
23 drives will be checked at
24 the same time to utilize parallelism available in the
25 hardware. If the sixth field is not
26 present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume
27 that the filesystem does
28 not need to be checked.
