Not to be pedantic, but it's '0 1' for the / partition :-) Others have referred you to the man pages that describe these settings, but what isn't obvious is that these are for ext2/3 filesystems only. Field 5 is used by dump/restore which only works on ext2/3. If you use reiserfs, these fields must be '0 0' as reiser can do the right thing at mount time by itself. The same goes for all other filesystems (cdroms, tmpfs, udev, etc etc) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
