Hello,
according to fstab manpage, fields 5 and 6 are optionnal (and treated as
0 if they are not present).
However, if you have a fstab with one (or both) field missing and some
whitespaces at the end of the line, fstab-sync will fail to parse the
file.

Here is a patch to fix this. The patch was written and tested against
0.4.8 but it looks like fstab-sync did not change since.

Yours,
