Comment (by pulkomandy):

 If you create the partition in DriveSetup, it allows you to set the "type"
 and defaults to BFS which seems fine. However, there isn't a way to change
 the partition type after the fact (unless you delete and recreate the
 partition).
 When creating a filesystem, filtering is not needed, however a warning
 message ("the fs you selected does not match the partition type" or so)
 could be useful.
