Sure, no pb at all with Linux: just do a
cat oldpartiton > newpartition
(If your disks are not on the same server, you can transit through a
netcat, this does not change anything)
then, you can resize your filesystem (eg resize2fs for ext2/ext3)
and it's done !

You can even use LVM volumes instead of partition...
