I don't see anything in fstab that even shows what physical drive 
anything is on:

[root at p733 chris]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                              /                            ext3   
     defaults                    1 1
LABEL=/boot                      /boot                       ext3        
defaults                  1 2
tmpfs                                     /dev/shm                tmpfs  
    defaults                   0 0
devpts                                    /dev/pts                  
devpts     gid=5,mode=620   0 0
sysfs                                      /sys                        
sysfs        defaults                  0 0
proc                                       /proc                     
proc        defaults                   0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap
