The thing to do here is use gparted live or Fedora live media and
yum/dnf install gparted. It has a move/resize option that will do what
the OP wants.
The problem with gparted is that it works only in units of megabytes.
There is no way to move a partition to a particular sector or, for
that matter, do much of anything _exactly_.
I'm not sure why granularity finer than 1MiB is necessary. But setting
that aside, with a rotational drive with 4KiB sectors, you're better
off with 1MiB alignment than not being 4KiB aligned at all. Depending
on the drive and workload misalignment can cause a brutally bad
performance hit. And if it doesn't then I wouldn't worry about
changing anything.
Thanks everyone. That's the advice I need. The partition is ext4. I'll
copy it to other media and rearrange the partitions and copy it back.
