I'd like to join this issue.

Here's what happened to me. Some unexplained phenomenon hammered my swap
partition, so it lost its UUID. My system simply booted without incident
or warning -- but also without any swap!

mount and swapon, run from command line, complained that the UUID was
invalid.

One could argue that this is the price of UUID-based fstab mounts; how
the heck should the system know that the dangling UUID once pointed to
some unused partition on the disk.

Aside from that, I would like to have been yelled at for the fact that
my fstab contained an invalid swap mount line, even if it couldn't have
given me a ton of help in recovering from the problem.

Further, I could imagine some sort of maintenance tool that would look
at the partition table, find a lonely, under-appreciated swap partition,
and offer to rehabilitate it.
