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.
