aigle, then the entry for your swap partition in /etc/fstab is obviously wrong.

Type blkid and verify the contents of /etc/fstab.

shahbaz@shaheen:~$ blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="OS" UUID="1C2C56032C55D87A" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda3: UUID="9707e55e-1ceb-4ba4-9c24-e6808ea6e552" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda4: UUID="9707e55e-1ceb-4ba4-9c24-e6808ea6e552" TYPE="ext3"

/dev/sda6: UUID="8b54d236-ed32-4659-97c0-c20eb93a8841" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

Aigle:


Your /etc/fstab reads as follows according to a previous post:

# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=cf5593ad-080a-42c2-a852-60d36cd24bbf none swap sw 0 0

And your partition readout shows a different UUID for the swap partition:
/dev/sda5: UUID="8cdb2e18-31e3-4b59-92a3-4ed1740d4005" TYPE="swap"

You need to edit /etc/fstab and change the line as follows:
UUID=8cdb2e18-31e3-4b59-92a3-4ed1740d4005 none swap sw 0 0

See the difference:
UUID=cf5593ad-080a-42c2-a852-60d36cd24bbf none swap sw 0 0 <- wrong
UUID=8cdb2e18-31e3-4b59-92a3-4ed1740d4005 none swap sw 0 0 <- correct

Hmm.... thanks a lot.

I will try that and post back.

Hi, a few Qs if anyone can answer.
1- What is this UUID for? How this happened?

# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=cf5593ad-080a-42c2-a852-60d36cd24bbf none swap sw 0 0

2- Why UUID is same for sda3 and sda4?

Thanks
