hehe, this is now of course (now that you have said it) obvious.

Yes, I did that with qtparted without problems and as I left the partition
itself intact, no renumbering of the partitions occurred.

I could not find a way with either [qt]/[g]parted to get the UUID. The only way
to get a UUID for a partition that I know of is from /dev/disk/by-uuid, (but
the system has to have it already mounted IIUC)

Yes I do want to do that at some point, but that is when the partitions will
be renumbered? if I split sda1 into two or more partitions I am not sure of
the consequences and hence remain reluctant.
