You can always check your fstab entries against
the output of "blkid -c /dev/null" (run from root shell)
Then edit your fstab file accordingly to reflect proper UUID's.
If a original partition is altered, it will have a different
UUID when you finish repartitioning. If the partition is not
altered it will have the same UUID.
