thanks for replies! Is it possible to slide partition using the
tools included with e2fsprogs package as well?
The e2fsprogs tools only deal with the needs specific to
ext[234] partitions. Sliding a partition can be done for any partition
you like with `dd'.

Stefan:
I'm afraid you can't use dd for this because as far as I know dd(1)
reads and writes one block at a time and in case new position for file
system overlaps with the present one, using dd you will start
overwriting the end of the file system with the readings from the
start of the file
Martin T:
Is it possible to make partition smaller starting from the beginning?
No.
If yes, do I need to somehow start file system from the end of the
partition?
AFAIK that's not possible. The solution for your problem (which involves
initial reformatting) is LVM.
