I compulsively copied fstab.pacnew to fstab and after rebooting my partitions are not recognized anymore. Since I'm an idiot I decided that the 5 seconds it would've taken to backup the file were too much time.
So, is there any way to recover the original file? If not then how can I remake it manually?

Simply add your system relevant partitions and options to the file....???
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

If you don't have /home on a separate partition then you just need to add entries for your root and swap. Do you know what partitions they are on?
You could boot a live cd and
# fdisk -l
or
sudo fdisk -l
to get the correct entries then
add the entries
For example, I have
/dev/sda6 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda13 none swap sw 0 0

Thanks Andrew, fdisk -l plus an example from the wiki helped me reconstruct the file.
