 * 1) The first field shows the partition described (the path to the device file)
 * 2) The second field shows the mount point at which the partition should be mounted
 * 3) The third field shows the filesystem used by the partition
 * 4) The fourth field shows the mount options used by   when it wants to mount the partition. As every filesystem has its own mount options, users are encouraged to read the mount man page  for a full listing. Multiple mount options are comma-separated.
 * 5) The fifth field is used by dump to determine if the partition needs to be dumped or not. This can generally be left as 0 (zero).
 * 6) The sixth field is used by fsck to determine the order in which filesystems should be checked if the system wasn't shut down properly. The root filesystem should have 1 while the rest should have 2 (or 0 if a filesystem check isn't necessary).
