The last entry is the fsck order used at boot. Setting it to 2 probably prompts the system to check it.
Anyway, you shouldn't need to add explicit entries to fstab to mount usb drives. They should get auto mounted when you plug them in (I think the autofs and haldaemon services are required to run for this to happen).
haldaemon yes autofs no
The auto-mounting of removable media on the local machine now happens as an interaction between hal and your *windowing_environment*.
i.e. in with gnome I, as a normal user, have to go to Start(chaos symbol) -> System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and media Which brings up a window titled "Removable Drives and Media Preferences" and un-check the "Mount removable media when inserted" and the "Burn a CD or DVD when a blank disk is inserted" so that I can work with rewritable CD/DVD media the way I want.
