Looks like I'm not allowed ext4, because the livecd-iso-to-disk script complains! (That's presumably a bug, since ext4 ought to work fine.) Are there reasons to go for ext3 rather than ext2? I'm not quite sure what the journalling achieves--the number and size of the files on the partition isn't going to change, but obviously the data inside the overlay and persistent home will change.
It's not hard to fix the script. I have done this for both ext4 and NTFS at various times. (Though I think there are some limitations on NTFS support.)
