Sorry, creating Linux filesystems are not my area of expertise. I suggest asking about this on either android-kernel group, or your question might not be specific to Android so you could do a web search for "Linux filesystems".
Once you have a filesystem in place, you'll need to mount it, typically in init.rc. Again, mounting filesystems is not my specialty, but the same links above should apply.
