Well, for detecting a filesystem, you're right, but in this case I only need to set the file system ala libparted's set_system call when I'm creating it. If you look in set_partition_file_system_type() in partitioning.py it makes the call to set_system from there. There's no low level interface to really do this in 7.x anaconda aside from creating an entirely new parted fs class. I was hoping to avoid having to do that, but it looks like it's probably the easiest way. --Patrick.
