"Use the fstab, Luke!" =:^)

Quoting the fstab manpage:

"""""
The  sixth  field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program[.]
If  the  sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned 
and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
"""""

It works here (I run reiserfs, which does a quick scan before it mounts 
an fs regardless, and which won't do anything much heavier in a -a fsck 
anyway), but note that I'm on baselayout-2/openrc.  I'm not sure whether 
that works for baselayout-1 users or not.
