Apropos of not too much, I finally got around to copying my old 120GB Pi boot disk to an image file, and splatting that back onto a 2TB SSD that now has according to a GUI based disk editor shitloads of 'unused' space.

All looks ok, with a bootfs and a rootfs partition on it,  but I haven't actually booted it yet.

It appears to be OK
More later... I overslept badly and it may be Monday before more gets done.
