   I would have used new or new_data as mount point instead of /tmp.

   Well it is pretty easy to fix your fstab if you are careful.   
      
   click up a terminal   
      
   su - root   
   run the command   
      
   blkid | sort -V   
      
   now all you have to do is make the UUID in fstab match the value seen   
   in blkid for each of your partitions while there you need to verify   
   file system type (ext3, ext4,...) for each of those partitions.   
      
   After you save your changes to fstab, check each by doing a mount. Example:   
    mount /tmp   
    mount /data   
      
   If they mount without errors/complaints your next boot should be ok.   
      
      
   Since I hate those UUIDs, I use labels instead.  :)   
      
   $ head /etc/fstab   
   LABEL=cauldron / ext4 acl,relatime 1 1   
   LABEL=spare /spare ext4 defaults 1 2   
   LABEL=accounts /accounts ext4 defaults 1 2   
   LABEL=local /local ext4 defaults 1 2   
   LABEL=mga3 /mga3 ext4 users,noauto,acl,relatime 1 2   
   LABEL=misc /misc ext4 defaults 1 2   
   none /proc proc users,noauto,defaults 0 0   
   LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0   
   LABEL=mga4 /mga4 ext4 users,noauto,acl,relatime 1 2
