Btw. even if the OP should need to move the partition, it unlikely will
cause more trouble than the need to reinstall the bootloader. I never
lost data when using gparted or command line to reorganise partitions
or at least I don't remember that this ever happened. I only wanted to
point out that using a copy command is not failure-prone compared to
reorganising partitions. Usually nothing unwanted happens when
using gparted or command line. However, a backup doesn't harm.
