Well, some new recognitions ... It turns out that  those /dev/disk subdirectories don't necessarily have all the disk devices represented: 1. by-id/ 2.  by-partuuid/ 3.  by-path/ 4.  by-uuid/ On my computer, only by-id/ - the subdirectory that's not set up in time - has  links to /dev/sda?.

Okay, after many hours of investigation and experimentation, I finally figured this out. For many years now, I have written my /etc/fstab using the /dev/disk/by-id directory, because I think it's easier to keep track of the names there - it's the only way to do it symbolically. It's always
