The ssd containing the btrfs-root is now inside the box and connected via SATA ... GRUB2-entries (yes, booting that via UEFI) edited so I have the choice to select booting from SSD1 where root and /home are on ext4 ... and SSD2 where now both root and /home are btrfs-subvolumes. I adjusted my backup routines as well, sure ;-) For now I am compiling libreoffice for a start ... just to see if things work. No multi-device-trickery with btrfs so far ... I want to learn my way with that one device only. small note: I compiled and loaded the kernel module crc32c_intel as mentioned here -> http://www.funtoo.org/BTRFS_Fun#SSE_4.2_boost Don't know if that helps much, didn't make specific tests ... right now the load is high due to the LO-merging. Looking forward to more learning. At first now a bit of weekend, afk. Stefan
