The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the
dump(8) command to determine
which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth field is not
present, a value of zero is
returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need
to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to
determine the order in which
filesystem checks are done at reboot time. 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.
