Well, I was hoping that you'd give it a read & also eventually end up at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab. Wasn't meant otherwise, just
hoped it would help if you need to check your file status/permission(s).
/dev/sda3 is a file after all & permission should look something like this:

$ ls -l /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-07-16 08:52 /dev/sda1

- Again in recovery, try dpkg to see if any of the update packages borked.
- fstab is doing as instructed because there is an error. Check to make
sure that the UUID didn't get messed up in the process:
$ sudo blkid
  or
# blkid
and compare that to see if it matches that of your fstab.
Check /var/log/dpkg.log to see what the upgrades were.
/var/log/syslog.0 should give some indication of errors, as should
/var/log/dmesg.0.
