ESXi v5 USB passthrough ext4

I have data on a removable drive that is in the ext4 format.  Can I plug that into a ESXi v5 host and use USB passthrough to allow it to mount to a CentOS 6.5 guest OS?  Or is ext3 the only supported format?  Do I have to install VMWare tools?

I had to reboot my CentOS v6.5 server before the OS would allow me to mount it.. But.. the steps worked.
