It does look right.  Use e2label on your partitions to see the mountpoints.

man 8 e2label

To find which partitions you have, view /var/log/dmesg.  Search for a line similar to this:

Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3

Then try e2label on each of them (ie: /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3) to see which has the label you are looking for.  Once you find it, 
run fsck <device>.
