That's exactly what I did to have extra partitions :)

Well, ultimately, it was easier to create a tar archive and set 
TEZI_DATA_FILES to this new archive.
This is more flexible than setting a fixed size ext4 image. I let Tezi 
format the partition with ext4 and extra the archive into it, just like 
what is done for the root filesystem.

Thanks for your contribution to this thread!
