I forgot to mention: the gerated /etc/fstab looks correct


```
LABEL=lib-its13_nvme_btrfs	/	btrfs	compress=lzo 
LABEL=EFI	/boot/efi	vfat	defaults 
```

So that made me think that maybe the initramfs was the source of the 
problem, but that too looks correct. /gnu/store/<hash>-init in the 
initramfs looks fine as well:
