For miniroot I used the XFS filesystem and 4096 block size. I was seeing somewhere that not having enough disk space may cause the desktop to not be installed. Also just a fair warning, this is a 300GB HP HDD that was brand new. I used the latest version of FX to format the drive. I just ran df and only have one file system, /dev/root with 585,663,256 blocks. I think I messed something up with setting up my drive (eek). I do have some tips from another member about formatting a larger hard drive. He warned that you'll end up with a very small partition if you don't follow these instructions.
