Looks like you copied partitions, with either dd or partimage, or some
such raw copying tool, and as a result have duplicate UUID.
This is not good.
First, make sure you have a live CD you can boot and edit system files
from. The Ubuntu Desktop cd should do the trick. You shouldn't need
this, but it might be necessary to fix any mistakes from hereon.
sudo tune2fs -U random
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJ1BQ808791-part6
sudo tune2fs -U random
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJ1BQ808791-part6
Notice that I am referencing your devices by Serial number instead of
sda/sdb. This is in case your system reverses the order (which is very
possible at any time on a sata system if you change drive you boot from,
including booting from CD)
Use blkid again to identify the new UUID's of your drive, and you should
then be able to fix your /etc/fstab file. I think you more or less have
that part right, but only got confused because the UUID's were the same.
