    looks normal
     
    "/" is things like /boot /bin /lib /sbin and is /dev/hda1
    in your case, which is fine

    /usr in your case is /dev/hda3 which is fine

    /home where you put all your stuff is alsoo under /dev/hda1
            - i personally, consider that (a huge / ) bad, but
            for those that dont care about partitions and "single user"
            will not be bothered by it till "/" crashes
            which in this case is your /home stuff too

    > /dev/hda1 / ext3

    that is fine

    > /dev/hda2 none swap sw

    that is fine

    > /dev/hda3 /usr ext3 defaults

    that is fine

    leave your system alone
