(snip, /proc et al are fine)

This will probably work, but it's not 100% correct.  The fs_dump column 
is set to 1 for / , and you are probably not using dump.  The / 
filesystem should have an fs_passno of 1, while other filesystems that 
should be fscked at boot time should have an fs_passno of 2.  So you 
should change the 1s in /home and /opt to 2s.

Also, are you not using UEFI?  I'm not sure how much longer the x86 
will continue supporting BIOS boots.  It also seems a bit odd to split 
/opt and /usr/src into separate filesystems.  I've only got 1.4G in /opt 
(almost all Android studio) and 3.1G in /usr/src , and I've got 2 
complete sets of kernel sources in the latter.  (Should get rid of the 
old one, it's not necessary any more.)
