Since that dialog ha= s a file type field, it can't conditionally remove the bottom line, which on= ly applies to FAT32 or freebsd-ufs or such partitions. I guess something abo= ut this could be added to the existing help line, but it's already a little l= ong. At some point we're likely to do a rototill of the partition adding dia= log, and will make this a little clearer. For now, you have the error dialog= that says you should leave it blank. pc-sysinstall suffers from the same issue [with ZFS at least]. sade and sysinstall are the only tools I know of that did the right thin= g.
