none of my suggestions, though humorous, are helpful...

disk partition level thinking doesn't consider file system level thinking is probably the correct answer, which incidentally also explains why some hypervisor snapshots suck chunks...

Hi All

I am moving a 1TB NTFS partition 200MB to the right using gparted and of
course it is very slow. I don't understand why gparted is moving all of
the data. Why not just move 200MB and add it to the end of the
partition? My googling only tells me how to do it but not why.

Cheers

Nic
