I think this sentence can be rewritten to be more legible as such:
They can be created on already correctly formatted partitions, which,
as with normal datastores, should be either ``ext4`` or ``xfs``.

'methos' -> 'method'
'formated' -> 'formatted'
'actomatically' -> 'automatically'

I think this reads better:
both will wait for any running tasks to finish and unmount the device.

This part of the sentence is kind of unclear, could you maybe explain it
more simply?
and the specified path is the on-device path
