Just in case you don't know (well, you've read the man page, so I'm
guessing you do, but just in case someone else is reading this):
"fs_passno" is just the name for the final column in /etc/fstab. For
example, in the entry below:
/dev/hdg5 /some/where ext2 defaults 0 1
...fs_passno is 1. fs_passno is used by fsck to figure out which volumes
to check, and in what order to do them. 0 means don't check, and after
that it works upwards (volumes with 1 get checked before volumes with
2).
And yes, some of that was redundant. Sue me :^)
