What do you think?

# software raid
#
#/dev/md0        /boot           ext3    defaults        0       2
#/dev/md1        none            swap    sw              0       0
#/dev/md2        /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
#/dev/md3        /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
#/dev/md4        /adatok         ext3    defaults        0       2

# GNU/Linux
#
/dev/sda3       /boot           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sda6       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda7       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda8       /adatok         ext3    defaults        0       2
