Notice that the first 3 lines have a fs-passno of 2 (last number in the
fstab line). The last 2 lines have that value set to 0.
Change the last number from 2 to 0 on the LABEL... lines and fsck will
skip them. The man page for fsck and /etc/fstab will yield more information.
BTW, specifying noauto tells mount not to mount these filesystems
automatically ... it has nothing to do with fsck.
