Oh, very good idea. I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I didn't think
of detaching the backing device. :)
Will try and report!

I haven't done exactly what you're doing, but it seems like you will
need to at least detach the local backing device in DRBD before moving
its partition (I think parted will need all access locks cleared from
the partition before the move step) and reattach it after moving it.
DRBD cares about the position of its meta-data relative to the partition
end, so as long as you keep the partition size the same, I think it will
reattach without complaint. I have used this procedure to move the
backing device to another partition of the same size.
Be sure to follow the steps in the DRBD guide for resizing resources
when you get to the part of the process where you're actually extending
the size of the partitions. DRBD will need to know that the partition
size has changed so it can move its meta-data (or the meta-data itself
may need to be moved manually).
