Although it does no harm, "defaults," is unnecessary and can be omitted there. Because it specifies defaults. And defaults are values that are used when nothing is specified. It can be omitted because "nofail" by itself is sufficient to establish column 4, so that later values occur in columns 5 and 6. "defaults" in /etc/fstab should only ever be used by itself, in column number 4, when a non-default (ie not 0) value is required for one of the following columns. Its function is to occupy an otherwise empty column number 4, so that what follows it on the same line occurs in column 5.
