That looks OK.

What do you get from:
# mdadm --query /dev/sda1
# mdadm --query /dev/sdb1
# mdadm --query /dev/sdc1

How do you think the disks should be arranged? It looks like you
have the three drives in a RAID-1 arrangement, giving you 6.3GiB of
storage total, and the ability to lose up to two of them without
losing any data. I'm guessing that the whole RAID volume contains a
single filesystem, which is your root FS. Confirmation of this would
be helpful. :)
