That was due to changed UUID on one of filesystem in /etc/fstab (/vms ) that you deleted and then created again. Again. you could have avoided this issue by giving it the same UUID as before.
Thank you. Quite so; I can see that now, but didn't at the time.
Actually it likely was enough to simply create this partition again with exact start and size.
Ah - I didn't know that either. Wish I had. An additional problem that I haven't mentioned so far was that restoring the contents of the (deleted) partition from a Clonezilla image wouldn't start because Clonezilla said the target partition was smaller than the original source, and that to proceed was "dangerous". So I didn't, resorting instead to restoring the contents piecemeal - or most of it - from raw backup scraps. -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
