I've been rearranging a disk with gparted and it left
me with this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb4 2048 976773119 488385536 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 4096 51204095 25600000 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 51206144 976771071 462782464 83 Linux
If I try to mount the partitions at boot time, something
gets very confused by the extended partition being /dev/sdb4
instead of /dev/sdb1.
Is there a quick way I can move the 4th primary partition entry
to the 1st primary partition entry?
Or is a hex edit and extreme care my only hope?
Or maybe it would all be simpler if I just DDed the one partition
I'm trying to keep to a file, reinitialize the disk from scratch,
and then DD it back (making sure to make the partition the identical
size).

What does
sdb1, sdb2,and sdb3 look like?
sdb5 should start at 2048,
The end of sdb5 and start of sdb6 should be one number different..
I see problems.
