You don't necessarily need a clean install. You can
partition and format the new ssd then just rsync
everything to it and use grub2-install to make
it bootable and edit all the grub.conf, grub env
files, fstabs, etc to change the UUID to the new
UUID strings.
Don't know if you'd consider that a better option
or not :-).
I kinda wanted to see how the installer setup the new btrfs subvolumes but guess I could do it manually :)
Also, I wanted to try going without dedicated swap (easy enough not to copy over) with swap on zram and standard OOM setup.
It is the way I always do installs by first installing
to a virtual machine then using guestmount and rsync
to get the install off the virtual machine and onto the
partition I'm installing (then I use the configfile
option from a stand alone grub partition which is the
only one that actually boots).
Interesting method!
Thanks,
Richard
