Here's the explanation for the 2 zero's at the end:
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 filesys-
tem does not need to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) pro-
gram to determine the order in which filesystem checks are
done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be speci-
fied 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 pre-
sent or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will
assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
