My guess is that /dev/disk/by-uuid wasn't properly populated at the time
that fsck was run.

I've always thought the /dev/disk/by-uuid was a horribly bug, and its
use should be stamped out.   Fortunately with the blkid library now
being incorporated into util-linux-ng, and this is what is being used in
all major distributions, it *can* be stamped out.  Don't use /dev/disk
/by-uuid; it's horribly fragile and not guaranteed to work all the time.

The far better thing to use is to put the following in /etc/fstab
instead:

UUID=a14daa42-496b-425a-bc9f-d59cca6a0216

Its use is documented in the fstab man page.
