Title:
  no longer boots because ext4 /home lost its UUID

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi
  I encountered the same issue described by other users but can t find the solution :

  After grub loading, whichever the recovery mode i use, i get the
  message

  One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet mounted: (ESC for recover shell)
   /home : waiting for UUID 67d51bb0-516b-4190-ba87-7985d4b123a2.

  # blkid give :

  /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
  /dev/sda1: UUID="2c112151-ff2f-42eb-b552-3de99b2d49c4" TYPE="ext4"
  /dev/sda2: UUID="3285efe0-d1d4-4e59-8418-7846a66eac2c" TYPE="swap" 

  suggesting that the line  /dev/sda3:
  UUID="67d51bb0-516b-4190-ba87-7982d4b123a2" TYPE="ext4" is missing ?

  When i boot the live CD Ubuntu and
  - go to Gparted, no UUID are given for sda3 
  - go to systeme/administration/disk utility my partition sda3 has the status "unrecognized"

  When i boot puppy linux, i cannot mount sda3

  When in the shell i type cat etc/fstab
  the 3 sda are found with the right format and same UUID (ext 4 for my sda3 and the address given in the error message)

  How can i solve the issue, especially that sda3 contain all my data
  for which i have no recent backup.

  Thanks
