Now, if your partition table starts at sector 63, you're still

not quite. If you're running RAID-1, it is possible, with the help of a
rescue disk, and with stable UPS providing insurance, nurse the server into
restitching all the partitions so that they now start on sector 2048, one
disk at a time, without having to back them up, and redo.
Now that you mention it, I had to rebuild the /boot software RAID
device on two machines due to the sector 63 issue.
(Manually fdisk to move the partition to 2048 and manually rebuild the
RAID array).
*However*, the reason I manually rebuild the /boot array was to
maintain the ability to boot into F15 while F16 was being tested.
(Each using its own LVM partition for root)
