the first and best thing to do is replace the UUID entries with the /dev/sdan in the line above them.

BTW linuxmin.com was down for the weekend so that is why there was no reply till today.

:D

Yes this is safe.

the UUID is a generated id for partitions.
the problem is any slight change to the partition or disk will change the UUID.
you can regenerate them, but why should you have to.

more info is here:
