You *can* do this, but you have to understand what is happening.
First
the entire partition is moved (copied) to the new position. So all
881GB of data has to be read and written. And if the process gets
interrupted for any reason, your filesystem is toast. After the move is
done, then the filesystem can be expanded.
I didn't know this was possible. Do you use a partition editor like
GParted, erase the first partition, move the starting point of partition
#2 to the beginning and then use resize2fs afterwards? I didn't know
resize2fs would do that whole movement. Can it do it online
(filesystem mounted?
