[K12OSN] NFS /home options

[Jim Hays]

Here is an explanation of the last two fields that I found:

------------------------
The fifth field (0) is used by dump (a backup utility) to decide if a filesystem
should be backed up. If zero then dump will ignore that filesystem. The sixth
field (0) is used by fsck (the filesystem check utility) to determine the order
in which filesystems should be checked.
If zero then fsck won't check the filesystem.
(as the example line above is a cdrom there is very little point in doing a fsck
on it, so the value is zero).
