The idea is to have resize command, which moves only the end of the partition. If it is expanding, it is considered safe operation. With shrinking, we should at least warn that it is unsafe and could destroy the data.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I'm also implementing a variant of the BLKPG ioctl to allow such a resize to take place on a currently mounted partition. I'll see what I can do with these patches.
