How many disks do you have? I'm pretty sure that only one which matches
/dev/disk/by-uuid/*5-eaedc37c1852.

Messages are truncated because there's only so much space on 80
column text displays, and filling the screeen with wrapped unit
names is not useful anyway. This is supposed to give you an overview
of what is happening. You can always view the details using journalctl
and whatnot.
