Agreed that seems to be the way to go about it.. but I did bring up
(privately) to John that I wasn't sure if the new partition could live
in the middle (going by logical cylinder numbers) between hdb1 and hdb2
(i.e., overlap). Of course if that's possible then it isn't an issue,
otherwise he'd have to move everything around, or delete and remake
partitions after the (new) /dev/hdb2.
