You must have done more than rename a partition... it is looking for the partition UID and not finding it. Since the UID is never supposed to change until the partition gets wiped, this is very odd indeed.
Also, putting external volumes (usb stick?) into fstab is not a good idea... let the automount find it when you put it in and want to access it.
Yeah, I think I really messed up. The drive it can't find is an internal SSD.
I am pretty sure I have a live usb so I might just reinstall. Most of my important files are not on the problem drive.
You dont have to install over the drive. Retrieve any important files from the drive by booting a USB live OS.
