GParted unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition


Tips and tricks

Using GParted to move up the start of an extended partition and of the enclosed logical partition, resulted in the error: *Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition. *

**The solution was to disable the alignment requirement for the extended partition.  Using an alignment for the logical partition enclosed in the extended partition was fine.

I post this here to remind me of the solution and in case someone else has the same problem.  These are the best answers that I found leading to the solution:
