Fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve UUID

If you are getting the FSCK error fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve ‘UUID=”0415c1ac-8f7a-49e3-9638-bbab4ceefe9b”‘ on system booting, then you can try following steps to resolve that.

1. Use following command to get the UUID of current partitions.

blkid

2. Open the /etc/fstab file and check the UUID in the fstab and the result of blkid are same.

$ sudo blkid |grep /dev/sda
/dev/sda1: TYPE=”swap” UUID=”0415c1ac-8f7a-49e3-9638-bbab4ceefe9b”
/dev/sda2: LABEL=”Dreamlinux” UUID=”5845b99a-14e0-4bd5-b17a-05a8085b16f3″ TYPE=”ext3″

3. Edit the /etc/fstab and change the UUID to that got from the blkid

That will solve the issue.
