[solved] failed to mount /boot on startup

I have a problem. I migrated my /home folder to a secondary ssd. Since then, it isn't mounted upon sartup.
When i boot into arch, I already get the error message on the initial boot screen and am redirected to the root user's emergency shell.
looking into the error, I get the following:

● home.mount - /home
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; generated)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2020-09-17 23:24:44 CEST; 54s ago
      Where: /home
       What: /dev/sda1
       Docs: man:fstab(5)
             man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)

Sep 17 23:24:44 DAVIDArch systemd[1]: Failed to mount /home.

(yes, my secondary drive is sda1)

my etc/fstab looks like this.

# snapshots
LABEL=ARCH_ROOT         /.snapshots     btrfs           rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvol=@snapshots  0 0

# home
/dev/sda1       /home           btrfs           auto,rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvol=@home      0 0

# srv
LABEL=ARCH_ROOT         /srv            btrfs           rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvol=@srv    0 0

# pkg
LABEL=ARCH_ROOT         /var/cache/pacman/pkg   btrfs           rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvol=@pkg0 0

# /boot
LABEL=ARCH_BOOT         /boot           vfat            rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro    0 2

# root subvol
LABEL=ARCH_ROOT         /.btrfs         btrfs           rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=5     0 0

I've tried using the Label and teh UUId instead of the device name for /dev/sda1 but all produce the same result.

!After manually mounting /home, everything works fine.

I haven't found any useful help by now, so I'm asking you, if you could help me.
I'm sure I just made a silly noob's mistake but I have no idea where to find it.
Happy for every response!

Re: [solved] failed to mount /boot on startup

auto,rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,subvol=@home

Was the /home a btrfs subvolume? What if you remove mount option subvol@home and try again?
