Although it does no harm, "defaults," is unnecessary and can be
omitted there.
Because it specifies defaults.
And defaults are values that are used when nothing is specified.
It can be omitted because "nofail" by itself is sufficient to establish
column 4, so that later values occur in columns 5 and 6.
"defaults" in /etc/fstab should only ever be used by itself, in column
number 4, when a non-default (ie not 0) value is required for one of
the following columns. Its function is to occupy an otherwise empty
column number 4, so that what follows it on the same line occurs
in column 5.
