I very, very strongly recommend against doing this. Many Linux distributions default to ext4. This is... a poor choice. ext4 is unstable, it's buggy, the recovery tools (fsck, etc) are lacking, it has no backup tools, it's impossible to back out once an extent is used, and so forth. If you're going to use any of the ext file systems then use ext3.
A better option is a small ext2 boot partition and either XFS or JFS for everything else. I give the nod to XFS since Red Hat is backing it as their preferred file system in RHEL7.
