I've seen that setting a partition type may prompt any subsequent formatting with a particular default file system.

You probably need to be using an all-in-one tool that partitions and formats for that sequence of events to occur in a logical fashion. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.95.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 24 13:59:37 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
