The second field is the mount point. Maybe you should give it a
descriptive directory name like "/home".

The noatime is for "optimizing read performance" by never updating the
access time field for files. I'd suggest you just use "default". For
security you may want to consider nodev or nosuid (or even noexec).

The fifth and sixth fields are for filesystem dump does not need to be
dumped and when filesystems should be checked on bootup (use 1 for the /
filesystem), respectively.

For example:

/dev/hda4	/home	ext3	defaults	0	2
