Regarding those last two numbers in your filesystem table, 2 or 3 are not
appropriate numbers. Thefirst number is used to determine whether the
patition should be backed up by backup software, the second is whether
the partition should be checked if your machine is shut down properly
[or vice versa, OI might have the numbers round the wrong way]. 1 is a
yes, 0 is a no.
