setup-storage: ext4

Hello,

another question regarding setup-storage: apparently it does not (yet)
work with ext4. I tried to create a ext4 partition, but the
corresponding "parted mkpart ext4" exits with 1. Looks like parted
cannot deal with "ext4" as filesystem type. As I understand, it should
as well be possible to just call parted with ext3 as filesystem type and
still run mkfs.ext4 later on. This would need a patch for setup-storage,
though.

Is there a way around this using hooks?

Bye,
Andreas
