As far as I know, in LINUX, the filesystem created in a partition is
independent from the type of the partition, so you can create a
partition as Linux partition ('83') and format as ext4 FS. Please
correct me if that's wrong ;-)

I guess there is always PartedMagic livecd/liveusb that presumably play nice with ext4 ? fdisk doesn't format, so it'll work qtparted and gparted use libparted, which has support for ext4. If you boot off a live CD, you can run yum install gparted and start using it right away. As far as gparted, you can go to Gparted - Show Features and it will tell you which filesystems are supported by this version -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I seem to recall that when it comes to formatting a partition, your
partition type can be used to determine the default file system to be
used (which you can, of course, change).
