Don't forget that when you use partitioning tools to look at a drive,
they look at the flags on the partitions for the types of partition. 
The filesystem that's actually used on the drive can be different.

I can carve up a drive saying that a partition is MSDOS.  But when I
format that partition, I could format it as EXT3.  MSDOS would be
offered as the default choice by any interactive tool, but I could
override that.  And command line tools will do what I tell them to,
right from the get go.

Afterwards, the filesystem would be whatever I picked.  But the
partition header would still say whatever it was previously.
