i did it with gparted because it forces to re-read the partition-table BEFORE reboot to make "boot /boot" successful * umount /boot * gparted * move/resize boot-partition * mount /boot * grub-install /dev/sda make sure you have a rescue-fallback before in my case it was easy becasue 20 virtual machines, many of them "only" backup / database-replication-slaves and all from the same master which has foor boot a own virtual disk (one benefit of virtual servers) so i needed only one succesful run of this, made a dd-image of the first guest, scp to the other ones, umount /boot and write dd-image to /dev/sda with physical setups or if /boot is only a partition this is not so easy, but the trick with resize/move should work too
