On running persistence. What is persistence?

I'm stumped right now.  The site's directions to running a live session
persistence was to "create a partition on the disk."  When trying to format
my disk, I don't have the option of ext3.  Am I supposed to reformat my
disk and partition a mac drive to ext3?

How do you restart the live image into a persistence session?
