I have done apps2sd using sdsplit and can also see the contents of my Fat32 & ext2 partitions on the sd card.
I bought a 4Gb microSD card and I was wondering how I would go about transferring all of my apps to the new sd card. Would simply making the 2 partitions and copying all the data from the ext2 partition (app, app-private, dalvik-cache, data) work?

i'm on superhero v2 and i need to reformat my ext2 partition for apps to sd. I dont have a card reader so are ther any ways to do this through the phone?
What do you exactly mean by reformat? You could format your SDcard in the SDcard + Phone storage section and it erases all your data, but deletes any existing partitions. And then you could use AppstoSD2 by MarcusMaximus to partition your SD card to fat32 and ext2

I got a new class 6 8GB sd card, and I want to copy over all the stuff from my old 4GB card ... fat32, ext, and linux-swap.
What's the easiest way to do this? (I'm on a Mac, and I have a USB sd card reader.)
Can I avoid having to re-install all the apps in the apps2sd partition?
(I assume I'll have to manually partition the new card.)
Thanks!
Rooted and running Prime 1.4, I formatted and partitioned the micro sd card with sdext, swap space, and fat32 storage partitions similar to a rooted phone's sd card. Now my computer will not recognize the micro sd card. Do I need the sdext and swap space, or can I do a complete fat32 or NTFS partition?

For me, I just use the normal Win format command to have a FAT32 partition.
i accidentally created a EXT partition on my sd card using clockwork recovery, i cant seem to find how to undo, or remove this partition, any help would be appreciated, also , is there a way to retrieve the files from that partittion?
Well since I don't use an ext partition I can't be sure about this, but I believe that if you go to make the partition again in CWM that you can set the size to 0. As for the data you had before making the partition, it's gone. When you made the partition it had to format your SD card completely clearing it.
reformat sdcard from settimgs and it will go away (so will all data on sdcard)

Not correct at all!
Formating the SDcard will format only the partition in FAT32 format and will nor remove partitions that are not in FAT32 format.
The only solution I can think of is repartition the SDcard from the recpvery and set 0MB in the ext size.
This will delete all your data from the SDcard so be sure you backup it prior to doing the repartitioning.

no, hes 110% correct, i eneded up having to lose all my data... i went to settings>storage>unmount SD card> format SD card. and the EXT partition was removed
Moonshield thought you were talking about formatting from a Windows PC I think because that would reformat the non ext partition to fat32 leaving the ext partition there. He was correct, he just misunderstood the situation.
na just from the phone itself ive setup a custom webtop 3x then refomatted over it in the phone b4 Note formatting is really hard on.sdcard and they can only be rewritten.so many times. untill your sd card just fails

You need to use Link2sd & mount the partition then you can link apps
If link2sd doesn't give you the option to mount the ext partition you created it wrong
You can create your partition in cwm under the partitioning section - note that it will format your sd card so backup first to pc
Also note that your internal storage will not increase - this is a fixed hard drive and unless you magically fit a bigger one it will always be the same
What you are doing is creating virtual storage space on your sd card that acts like internal storage
The advantage is you can install more apps
The disadvantage is the more apps you link the more laggy the phone will get

By either formatting the sd card with your phone or creating a new partition in cwm (this will delete everything on sd card so backup first to pc)
Or
Use mini tool on pc to format the partition & then merge the partitions or delete all partitions & create a new one
