Hi, the only time that "defaults" should be used in field 4 of /etc/fstab is when a value to the right of it (field 5 or 6) are required to be non-empty AND no non-default options are required. In that situation, field 4 has to be non-blank, which is when setting it to "defaults" becomes useful. Otherwise, putting "defaults" in field 4 achieves nothing, because defaults are defaults so there is no reason to specify them.
