I've zeroed the beginning of the disk, then used guided partitioning for the entire disk, asking for /home to be on a separate partition. You are right, all messages in partman implied that partition is ext3, yet /proc/mounts showed it as ext4 when I mounted it manually from the shell. I'll try to get the logs and fdisk output after partitioning.
