is checked by the dump(ext2/3 filesystem backup) utility. This field is usually set to 0, which disables the check. / sets the order for filesystem checks at boot time; see fsck(8). 1 for the root device, 2 for other partitions, 0 to disable checking. [Arch] If the root file system is btrfs, set to 0 instead of 1.
