What about dumping the partition table before simply removing the partition that matters? Just restore the partition table later. You could even grow the remaining partition without growing the actual filesystem, and hack something so that the FS layer reports the whole size. Or have both GPT and MBR that differ, offering two different views of the disk. If you're using lvm or btrfs you could also make a snapshot before removing all data then revert to the snapshot, and/or apply clever subvolume tricks like btrfs-convert does to keep the ext filesystem around [0].
