I added 2 entries in fstab, and the next time I booted it crashed. I
finally figured out I had added both as ext4, when one of those
partitions ( used to transfer files back & forth with windows) is really
ntfs. Once I corrected the  entry to be UUID=xxxxx ntfs and rebooted,
everything was fine. So, yes, in fedora 20, the fstab entries are like
they always were..
