Aside from that I plugged a non-used older SSD into my SATA/USB-adapter
and put a btrfs-root onto it ...

After some fiddling I currently run my system booted from that ;-)

Yes, sure, slow because of the external SSD right now .. .just to see if
it works.

/home and stuff still on my internal disks, but the / now on a btrfs
subvolume.

Nice.

I will play around with that and see what happens.
