    1) How do I point it myself to the correct drive should this happen again ?

    1. Create new .apps and home subvolume in new volume, (For example, MyData is new volume)

        a. Access NAS via SSH, then run below two commands,         

            btrfs subvol create /MyData/.apps

            btrfs subvol create /MyData/Home

    2. /lib/systemd/system/apps.mount and /lib/systemd/system/home.mount were pointing to the NEW volume using vimtiny command,  (For example, MyData is new volume in below config)  

    root@NAS:/# cd /lib/systemd/system
    root@NAS:/lib/systemd/system# cat apps.mount
    [Unit]
    Description=Apps Directory
    After=local-fs.target
    Before=multi-user.target

    [Mount]
    What=/MyData/.apps
    Where=/apps
    Type=none
    Options=bind

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    root@NAS:/lib/systemd/system# cat home.mount
    [Unit]
    Description=Home Directory
    After=local-fs.target
    Before=multi-user.target

    [Mount]
    What=/MyData/home
    Where=/home
    Type=none
    Options=bind

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    root@NAS:/lib/systemd/system#

     

    3.  Run OS Reinstall,

        

       

    2) Should I not use my previous saved config file ? (last time I used this file and it has braked everything again)

    You can't restore old config file because mount path is changed, if use old config, it will point to old volume in config file.
