Ctrl+Alt+Bksp will kill your X server; if you're running under a
display manager [gdm, kdm, xdm, wdm], that will probably restart the
server, so you'd need to log in on the console as root and run
/etc/init.d/xdm stop (or equivalent).

Just changing /etc/fstab won't cause the data to magically move
between partitions. If I were doing this level of shuffling, I'd
probably shut the system down to single-user mode ('shutdown' or
'telinit 1' as root). If you're trying to move the root partition,
I'd do it while booted from your favorite restore media; remember in
that case to also update your bootloader configuration to know where
the new root partition is.
