Well that's effectively what I did, when I copied to a bare volume and
tried booting from that.
But then the problem is, as I wrote in the other mail, that either I
cannot remove the original volume as it's a "root" volume and leave
just the copy behind.
Or, if I create a fresh server, I cannot make it boot with UEFI, for
unknown reasons.
Thanks,
Chris.
