well, I just restored my system using fsarchiver. YIPEE! I did it right. It restored. It took like half an hour to restore 23GB out of a 200GB archive (meaning 23GB of data and 177GB of empty space). Is that good or bad?

thanks for the help eric.... you inspired me to find the solution using google..... well, actually I didn't use google, I used DuckDuckGo. I like it better because as you scroll down the search results more is added instead of having to go to the next page. I think it is kinda cool that an identifier has been associated with all of our hardware by linux

The problem is that there is a UUID in the /etc/fstab file with no device to match it to.
If it is the swap, run:
swapon -s
and you'll see that swap didn't get mounted.
I advitsed you about this in one of me previous messages.
Options:
look at /etc/fstab and:
find what is mounted with UUID and replace it with the device's or,
find what is mounted with UUID and replace the device's UUID..
ET
PS: Or use 'raw device' (ei: /dev/sdaN) to identify the device on /etc/fstab

I successfuly repartitioned it. Sorta...... As it is loading an error
appears on the screen that says
    The disk drive for UUID=07f5933-9b67-4105-b9ae-0d0174fe759d is not
ready yet or not present.
and then it says to wait or press cntrl-D (I think) or S to skip mounting.
So I do one of the two options and the operating system loads.
The only thing I can think of that might be causing this is that I moved
the swap partition. I also made it smaller because gparted would not create
it the same size as it was originally. gparted said it was 4.6GB but now it
is 4.56GB.
What  can I do to fix this?

You don't want to use reiser4 unless you have a specific, well-understood
reason for doing so.  I consider reiser4 obsolescent and it has never had
the reliability of ext3/4.  On the other hand, ext4 is a mainstream,
well-supported FS.
