Hmm, I'm not sure whether strictly speaking it's allowed to skip the
4th field.
The manpage explicitly documents so for the 5th and the 6th, but not
for the 4th.
So it's questionable if all possible tools which may parse fstab really
deal with that gracefully.
Plus users might be confused and expect 6 fields.
Cheers,
Chris.
