18 The ssd containing the btrfs-root is now inside the box and connected
19 via SATA ... GRUB2-entries (yes, booting that via UEFI) edited so I have
20 the choice to select booting from SSD1 where root and /home are on ext4
21 ... and SSD2 where now both root and /home are btrfs-subvolumes.

23 I adjusted my backup routines as well, sure ;-)

25 For now I am compiling libreoffice for a start ... just to see if things
