[solve] Dependency failed for /home

I tried to shrink partition with the parted command(with a livecd) to shrink my home partition from 2TB to 1.5TB and it didn't go so well. I then decided to use cgdisk to just start from scratch and created a 1.5TB partition and then formatted it to ext4 filesystem. I recreated the /home directory and mounted the new home hard drive partition to /home and rebooted.

When I rebooted it spat out some errors

[Failed] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
See "systemctl status systems-modules-load.service" for details.

I can't ssh into the computer as the modules failed to load and they won't start so showing the contents of the 'systemctl status systems-modules-load.service' would be difficult.

Another error that shows up(which is what i believe is causing it not to boot)

[ ***] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-18daf91\2xdaf91\x2d421f\x2dc6a36708c890.device ( time / time remaining)
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-18daf91\2xdaf91\x2d421f\x2dc6a36708c890.device.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /home.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for File System Check on dev-disk-by\x2duuid-18daf91\2xdaf91\x2d421f\x2dc6a36708c890.

It then trows me into emergency mode.

Chroot in and make sure your fstab is good to go.

For some reason ssh'ing isn't working for me right now so I can't copy and paste the stab file over but all the partitions are pointing to the corresponding directory

Chroot != SSH...

Re: [solve] Dependency failed for /home

Are you sure? Chroot into your system using a live install USB/CD. Double check the fstab. If your fstab points to UUID rather than label, and if you didn't change it after recreating this partition, then this is the error you would receive. Or at least I think it is. Either way, find out the UUID of the home partition and use it in the fstab. Try rebooting.

Ok, I changed the uuid to the corresponding partition now and it boots up now, thanks
