1662	Conflict between Advice in LFS book and BLFS book	amtor@…	lfs-book@…	"In lfs book (all recent versions including the latest test version), it states 
the following when discussing using the ext3 file system:

""When using a journalling file system, the 1 1 at the end of the line should 
be replaced with 0 0 because such a partition does not need to be dumped or 
checked""  

(See http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.1.1-pre2/chapter08/fstab.html).

However, in the latest stable version of the BLFS book (v 6.1), it states:

""Edit your /etc/fstab. For each partition that you want to convert into ext3, 
edit the entry so that it looks similar to the following line. 

/dev/hd[XX] /mnt_point ext3 defaults 1 1

In the above line, replace /dev/hd[XX] by the partition 
(e.g., /dev/hda2), /mnt_point by the mount point (e.g., /home). The 1 in the 
last field ensures that the partition will be checked for consistency during 
the boot process by the checkfs script as recommended by the maintainer.""

(See 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html )

What should it be?  For ext3, should the last two digits be 1 1 in the fstab 
file or should it be 0 0?

In my view, we should be saying the same thing in LFS and BLFS.
