I already searched and read several similar problems here, but none of them it's like mine.
I have this server with Ubuntu, it only has the ubuntu, no GUI and I just ran apt-get upgrade, installed a bunch of updates, in the end I had to reboot the system and then the system get stuck in the emergency mode.
After checking the logs and looking for the boot process, it get stuck and counting the 1m30s for the "A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-XXXX\x2dYYYY.device" until it times out.
So I checked the fstab and compare the UUID in there with the values of blkid, and everything matches. I have two hdds and the swap file, so I disabled the second HDD and the swapfile just to check if it makes any difference, let only the ext4 (mount /) and the vfat (mount /boot/efi), but that doesn't made any difference.
So what's wrong here?
The UUID is correct, in the booting log, I can confirm that's the exact same UUID, and matches the one present in the fstab.
BTW if I let the second HDD in the fstab, it fails too, don't know if it's related to the first fail...
Thanks
edit
The second hdd, it's another drive, formated as ntfs, that it's used for backups, and media center, so it doesn't have anything special.
The current fstab file
UUID=23b7272a-f7ae-4e90-a8ec-de6253bbf253 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
# UUID=25545e32-6b5e-45cd-97e8-ac3823e14213 /home/jnap/STUFF ext4 defaults 0 0
# UUID=109A-51C7 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1
