Well, the photo you showed looks like you use devname (/dev/sda3) in fstab.
To ask the question is to answer it. Did I say I was experimenting with SSD? When I installed it there was no other drive plugged-in, so it showed up as partition-3 on /dev/sda. But then I forgot that if booting the ssd then the other drives could be plugged-in only after booting. It's the same story as when the first SATA's hit the street, if only one PATA was also plugged in then it had to become /dev/sde.
I don't se why it has to be this way but it doesn't really matter because soon there may be no magnetic drives left at all just like there are no PATAs left today.
This is absurd. You have to forget about using names such as /dev/sda3. That is causing you problems. Just use proper access, then forget about having to connect or disconnect this or that disk.
Try booting by-uuid or by-label, and it might work better / more reliable.
That's a non-starter for me, it may be more reliable in some ways but it's too many headaches for me as I use dd blatantly, all the time, to copy partitions :-)
If dd ever becomes extinct I'll can computing ALTOGETHER!
Just learn how to use things properly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
