I did have a problem enlarging the ESP when I tried a while ago, it just wouldn't boot so I ended up deleting and recreating it. =20 > Right now I just have to retry: clone the hdd to the ssd then restart > the gparted-steps. >=20 > Or is there a clever way to copy the whole btrfs over into a fresh and > slightly smaller partition while keeping its UUID intact? How about btrfs send/receive? I've never used them but used the equivalent with ZFS and it was simple to do. When you do repartition the disk, I'd suggest putting swap immediately after the ESP. That way, if you want to fiddle with the size of the ESP again, you only have to touch swap, not your main btrfs volume. --=20 Neil Bothwick ASCII stupid question... get a stupid ANSI! --Sig_/81jISVFk_N+7lzvTONYWASH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlYTeDgACgkQum4al0N1GQMcBwCgs7zt5GE5drms+ozYwwFkACB5 ubYAnj1XgdZBU282nZnd8cIcvyIZASaw =6cPp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/81jISVFk_N+7lzvTONYWASH--
