The only thing I transferred that was unusual is hard links. Otherwise it was just rsync --progress -avhH --numeric-ids followed by the various source directories root file system to a subvolume rootfs, /usr to a subvolume called usr, var to a subvolume called var and home to a subvolume called home. And what is more confusing, I did check the contents of postgresql.conf and they matched exactly, the one on my ext4 system and the one on the btrfs file system -- so I don't know why the check program gave that message. Also, another thing which was not consistent is that in my first boot mysql service did not start, but it did in subsequent boots. Now, I did not transfer anything under /var/run as its linked to /run, same for /var/lock as its linked to /run/lock. Device files, I did not transfer anythin specific, I would think udev would create those under /dev. In this case, I wish I were doing something dumb, it would not be fun, but at least I could proceed and I could run with the system. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
