Time to reinstall F34, and this is when I discovered that it is
nearly impossible to reinstall F34 on a btrfs system without
reformatting /home too (!?) I thought that was to point of having
/home on a different partition (which looks like it during install
but it isn't in btrfs, I didn't know that).
With the headaches you're going through, I reckon I'll be going back to
how I used to do installs years ago. One whole drive for /home, one
whole drive for everything else. Though probably a SSD for the system
(for speed), and magnetic disc for home (for less nasty surprises).
When a new release is going to be installed, I'll unplug the home
drive, and do the install without it. After, I'll attach it and mount
it over the system root home folder. Doing it that way took all the
worry out of doing installs.
My other approach, was: unplug the drive, install a blank drive,
install the OS. Plug in the old drive, copy the data over to the new
drive, remove the old drive and store it.
