Yep, I missed that.
grub2-install --force /dev/sdXY can work, even though it's not

This is much harder to do without LVM or Btrfs. For LVM there's more
steps but basically it depends on 'pvmove'. And for Btrfs it's 'btrfs
replace' - both are live migrations and so
From what I can see with mine 7 places would be about right.
Is that uuid the current one for sda3 or the old uuid for sda5? if it
