[yocto] Creating a EXT4 rootfs instead of EXT3: How?

[Nick D'Ademo]

Thanks for the reply Nicolas.

It seems the problem is that .hddimg uses EXT3 by default (after looking at
image_types.bbclass).

The ROOTFS type for my build is set in
/meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc: IMAGE_FSTYPES += "live"

Is there a way to make the HDDIMG use EXT4 instead?

Thanks,
Nick
