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?
