Totally random? You didn't change anything?
*glaring stare* (You forgot the glaring stare)
But seriously, UUID are totally not supposed to change, right? How about updates? Did it happen right after a seemingly normal update?
]]>Using SystemRescueCD I was able to chroot in to the install. blkid was spitting out UUID's that did not match the entries in fstab, that have worked fine for months.
I used nano to correct the UUID's in /etc/fstab, and now the machine boots with no problems at all. How does this happen? I thought the entire point of using UUID was that they would never change unless you reformatted the partition? Nothing changed! I have no data loss, and it's now working normally, but I'm just at a complete loss to understand how in the hell the UUID numbers just up and decided to change in the middle of a session...
