On Windows PE I used Diskgenius (a Chinese freemium partitioning utility) a lot for manhandling my partitions. Its resize functionality not only allows for adjusting the position of the end of the filesystem, but also allows for efficiently moving its starting point, on NTFS and FAT (not sure about exFAT).

There seems to be no support for this kind of operation in any *nix partition program as far as I can tell, probably because they all work on the scope of partitions, not on the whole block device. I don't know, maybe ntfsprogs can be the first to do it, considering its... relative proximity to an OS where partitioning software regularly do this kind of thing. This feature does come in handy once in a while.
