man fstab
look for the fifth and sixth fields.

In short, the fifth field indicates if the filesystem is to be backed up by 
the "dump" command.

The sixth dictates the order it is to be checked by fsck. The root should be 
1, all others 2, except those that don't need to be checked, which should be 
0.
