Well, if I knew ;-) I thought of having missed the boot flag as well although gparted should have taken care of that, right? And gparted finished successfully but the boot failed after that. Right now I just have to retry: clone the hdd to the ssd then restart the gparted-steps. Or is there a clever way to copy the whole btrfs over into a fresh and slightly smaller partition while keeping its UUID intact?
