Perhaps the problem is related to installing from USB to USB.

SOLVED. Thanks for the help. In partitioning, I changed FS type from ext4 to btrfs, which removed the offset error problem. In comparison, btrfs looks like a good replacement for ext4. I considered using ext4 with LVM but think it's too much complexity for a single disk setup. Now to switch to Devuan, (with help of some previous posts) or at least remove systemd. Then to install TDE...
Layout of external SSD. Later will install it into another laptop. /dev/sdb2 / btrfs defaults /dev/sdb1 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 /dev/sdb4 /home btrfs defaults /dev/sdb3 none swap sw
