Ok, I've done all these steps.

This is hard, since I'm unaware of what files have extended attributes. 
For instance, I've just found out that /media/solitone has an ACL, but I 
would need to extract the information for all files involved in a list 
and back it up, in order to restore it later on manually.

I don't know how to do this. I have to admit I never really understand 
GRUB. I've always relied on the configuration steps that debian 
automatically performs. Have you got a simple document that could guide me?

Thanks!
