fstab question

Ever since cloning the original SSD, using Clonezilla, to a larger SSD 
I've been unable to reboot Linux. It's a dual boot laptop and Windows 
does reboot correctly.

Thank you for the suggestions I've received to my questions on this 
subject  over the past year or so, however, the problem persists. 
Thinking about this, I wonder if the fstab file may be the problem. This 
is the content of this file:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type> <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=b51f0844-4826-4643-b34b-f324a67739e4 /               ext4 
errors=remount-ro 0
     1
/swapfile                                 none            swap 
sw              0
   0

Shouldn't this read something like this:

/dev/sda5     /    ext4    defaults    0    0

I may be clutching at straws but not being able to reboot is very 
frustrating.
