fstab values (was Re: Permissions for vfat mounted drive)

[John Stevenson <John@oa.nl>]

Hello....

On a related matter, can anyone tell me what the numbers actually mean at the
end of each line in the fstab descritpions

I know that they are labelled <dump> and <pass> but what does that actually
mean?

What values should I be using ??  I have just coppied off others examples
previously.

Thanks.
