I tested this today by inserting my bootable GParted USB key and rebooting the
laptop. On first run it did not bother to check it so it booted right back.
But next time I hit Esc at the crucial point in the boot process and then
Gparted booted.
So now I have reduced the size of the main partition and created a data
partition in the free'd space.
I also removed the video directory from my home after rsyncing it to the new
drive. Then I deleted it from home prior to reducing the size with GParted.

Seems OK now.
