You dont use fstab to change x number of boots, tune2fs does that, fsck
checks fstab to see what it has to do, ie looks for the sixth field.
A '0' indicates do nothing 1 indicates a 'root filesystem' 2 other
filesystems.

BTW; Never use tune2fs on a filesystem mounted read/write.

tune2fs -c xx will set the maximal-mount-count
