What I'd like to do is shrink and move partition#1 so that it begins on block 8192.
What I need assurance of is that gparted will preserve the file system when I do that so I still have an intact file system.
I have moved entire partitions , lengthen partitions, shrunk partitions, all without having lost anything. I've used it on just about every type of file system except BTRFS. It's always a very nerve wracking adventure. I always take backups. It's never failed me. I always download the newest gpartd Bootable disk rather than using what came with opensuse. Just a Habit. Assurance you ask? Good chance of success with the move. Slim to zero chance of anyone giving you assurance. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
