Moving EFI Partition

Hey, I was wondering what the proper way to safely move the EFI Partition (mounted as /boot) to the "left" is? I need to expand it to the beginning of the disk because it keeps filling up.

Re: Moving EFI Partition

You should probably try and determine the cause of what's continuing to fill it up.

That said GPT partition tables aren't as reliant on retaining the exact sector information, so you should in fact simply be able to move and extend the partition without any other adjustment.

Are you sure? I heard you might have to reinstall grub.
