[CentOS] CentOS 7, 327 kernel still crashing

[m.roth at 5-cent.us]

Ok, more info. I've just looked at the rdsosreport from a 327 kernel, and
the one from this morning, from the 229-20 kernel, and I see where they
croak:
[    3.045600] lym.cit.nih.gov systemd[1]: Found device ST500NM0003-9ZM172 /.
[    3.045950] lym.cit.nih.gov systemd[1]: Starting File System Check on

[    3.047209] lym.cit.nih.gov systemd-fsck[575]: Failed to detect device

Check on /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f.
[    3.047559] lym.cit.nih.gov systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /sysroot.

and yet. starting at line 75 of 1281, I see
+ ls -l /dev/disk/by-id /dev/disk/by-label /dev/disk/by-path
/dev/disk/by-uuid
<...>
/dev/disk/by-label:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 10 Jan 29 14:27 SWAP-sda2 -> ../../sda2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 10 Jan 29 14:27 \x2f -> ../../sda3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 10 Jan 29 14:27 \x2fboot -> ../../sda1

So, at some point, it seems to have lost the visibility to
/dev/disk/by-label.

Any thoughts, here?
