Mat,

Even with GPT you can use ext4:

root at brian-desktop:~# parted -l
Model: ATA ST4000DM000-1F21 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 4001GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End     Size    File system     Name  Flags
  1      1049kB  512MB   511MB   fat32                 boot
  2      512MB   3984GB  3983GB  ext4
  3      3984GB  4001GB  17.1GB  linux-swap(v1)
