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. my /etc/fstab after install looks like that (non reiserfs partitions are stripped) /dev/hda5 /boot reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hda8 /var reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hda10 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2 ... -- Linux 2.4.18-12mdk Mandrake Linux release 8.3 (Cooker) for i586 3:47am up 6 days, 19:37, 14 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
