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.
