The first field in each line is the device name. The second is the place to mount this file system (also called mount point). The third is the filesystem type (ext2 = native Linux). The forth field is the options field. For more information about the options (and available file systems) try “man mount” or “man fstab”.

The last two fields are less important, and it is always possible to understand them by reading the man pages.
