You cannot use anything but FAT for the external SDCard. Android will not mount the card if it is not FAT.

And the internal memory what uses, that depends on the ROM?

Internal SDCard? I believe that is also FAT. as for the other areas of the internal storage, like /system and such is ext4 starting with 2.3. Prior to that it used yaffs2.

I've managed to do it on Harmony developer board using adb shell:

adb shell "mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /mnt/sdcard"
