*further thought* as long as you will be making backups of both linux and oos, you really do not need to 'move' linux on sda3. i would suggest; delete old sda3 create new sda2 as swap create new sda3 as / restore linux to sda3 time it would take to restore linux to sda3 will not be that much longer than a 'move' and you will gain swap partition.
