(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.)
