from the fstab manpage:
The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8)
command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth
field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume
that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to
determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot
time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno
of 1, and other filesys- tems should have a fs_passno of
2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially,
but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same
time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. 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.
I would assume you DO NOT want to fsck a windows mount, so I would use
a "0" here.

->In the /etc/fstab, the entry the corresponds to the filesystem you
->want to have mounted at boot time should have a 1 in the fifth field.
->A 0 in this field indicates that it should not be mounted at boot
->time. The number in the sixth field indicates the sequence in
->which this filesystem is mounted. DOS and windows partitions should
->have a 2 here.
