Does not seem there are problems here but just in case, here is what is
there:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=01c13ea8-aa78-460f-8067-c3d154252fef /               ext4
errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=968b13e5-f73d-49b7-b125-2b14b62fd1a0 none            swap    sw
      0       0
