Do you mean why doesn't the ctl file accept partition commands?
You can always use fs(3) for that.  But usb root is not very
practical anyway, at least with uhci, because of a stubborn
bug in the driver which makes transfers very very slow.  Now
there's ohci support I would be interested to know if that works
at more like normal usb speed.
