Actually there is a reason for the 0 0 entry in fstab file, the first value zero (0) represents the dump program and the second value zero (0) represents the filesystem check (fsck) for the mounting partition. For both the case if the value is set to zero (0) then the dump and filesystem check would be disabled for particular entry, if it is set to any other value than zero then it will be enabled (dump & fsck)
