So, this is what I did. I kept the server running with the database
physically located at the old hard disk. From there I made a full key dump
(totally up to date and much faster than downloading several GB). Then, I
rebuilt (full build) the whole database from scratch on the new hard disk
using the key dump.
Now it is working on the new partition! :-)

The question now is, how to do a backup that can be restored to a new disk?
