I guess I really don't understand the problem.
Create a new partition, format it, copy the files to the new partition
(I tend to use rsync, but anything which creates a faithful copy with
permissions and ownership works), edit /etc/fstab, reboot.
What piece of this doesn't work for you?
If, however, the query is how do I reset my partitions with active data
without transferring that data, the answer is: you don't. I don't know
of any programs that can handle such a task reliably.
