Naahh..

The fifth number on the line (I get this from the fstab man page) is
related to the dump() command, and the sixth (last number on the line)
is related to fsck(). I think you are thinking of the key word 'auto' or
'noauto' that you can provide in the comma separated list of mount
options in item four on the line. To understand those, look at the
'mount' man page. Still, this is only automatic relative to when the
system boots. It does not mean that they will be automatically mounted
on demand at a later time. 'autofs' seems to be for that.
