I recently noticed the / partition being labelled /dev/sdb1, and I think I figured it out. for some reason I have an entry in fstab. If I simply remove
the line refencing sdb , would that resolve the issue ?

cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5). # Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=39d8d138-d5a1-4d4d-96c7-2620a314acc1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=f61d545a-eae4-4aa5-a128-68a2684ba88d none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sdb
 
addendum,
yes, that was the issue. problem/query solved. now, trying to figure out
how that entry was placed there.
