Stale NFS File Handle

Can it be deleted?

on a linux distro
fsck -p /your sdcard partition/
On windows I don't know.

i have the same problem.

same answer .
In fact you have 2 solutions:
1) repair your partition ON A LINUX DISTRIBUTION with : fsck -p /sdcard partition
2) reformat the partition.

so i just format both the fat32 and ext2 partitions?

Usually Stale NFS file handles only appear on ext2 so just formatting that should be enough.

format is really windowish as a linux user.
I'm not the type : " oh it doesn't work... FORMAT !!!!"
Sorry ...

thanks for the help everyone.
i just repartition my sd card on Knoppix.

Hey, just found a program that formats your sd card(fat32 and ext2). It's called SDFormatter. Unlike others, Paragon would not format my sd card's ext2 for some reason. This helped out a lot. And thanks to LucidREM for getting me set back up with apps to sd via his superb script.

microsd issue

Your problem here is you don't understand the difference between FAT32 and EXT2 file systems. Google is your friend...do some reading. Your Windows won't be able to read an EXT2 partition without some specialist software. A Linux PC will be able to read both.
Creating a FAT32 partition and naming EXT2 is not an EXT2 partition. I'd suggest you download a Linux Live CD e.g. Ubuntu and run Gparted to create a EXT2 partition on your SD Card.
The Android runs using a Linux Kernel and natively supports EXT2.

Partitioning your MicroSD card for Android

I'm using Paragon Partition Manager (9.0 special edition) and an 8GB MicroSD card, and would like to make two partitions, one with the android files, and the other one so that I can put all my other stuff in. Is there a way that I can see my second partition in windows once I connect my phone to my computer, and what type of partition should I make? I can choose between FAT32, NTFS, and Linux ext2 and ext3.
Thanks in advance.

Ideally you are supposed to make 3 partitions:
First partition is the biggest partition (Fat32)
Second partition should be around 256MB
Third partition should also be around 256MB
I also have an 8GB card. However 8GB is really 7.61GB
If i remember correctly what i did was i shrank the sd card from 7.61GB to about 7.10GB...........which created approximately a second partition of 516MB or so.
Then i split that 516 in half so i had 2 partitions of 258MB.
Then i formatted the two 256MB partitions to ext2
***Important***
The fat32 partition (7.10GB) should be the first partition (must be on the left)
Then the other 2 partitions should come after the fat32 partition.
Failure to do this may cause the sd card to not be recognized in windows computer (i think)

Well I got it working with Paragon Partition Manager. I created two ext3 but I had to modify cluster size to 4.
Link2SD wouldn't recognize 2 cluster ext3 and it couldn't mount 8 cluster ext3.

[q] problem formatting ext3 partitioned sd

exFAT support

Hi, is it possible for our TN 7 to have exFAT support?
My SD CARD don't work with FAT32, NTFS or EXT4 fs, I tried to fromat it from Linux and Windows as well, always some problems.

You may need to do a full format of the partition table.
Format sdcard in MSDOS then make fat32 partition. For any modern memory or storage, use GPT format and then make partitions to suit. Partitions are best in fat32 or ext4.
GParted is a partition manger GUI for Linux that should do the job.

Any update on this?
Does the TN7 support exFat formatted sd-cards or only Fat32. Would be quite a bummer ... due to the 4gb file-size limitation exFAT or NTFS (not happening for sure) would be highly prefered.
Edit (i think i found the official answer)
w_w_w.evga.com/support/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=59464
Well ... bummer!
Is there a possibility to add exFAT support through other means? A modded ROM maybe? Or a "patch"? (i read that there is something for the Galaxy S3 with CM10.1 and that CM11 supports exFAT from the start.)

I tried for a while with different apps to get another file system to work, but never could get it figured out. No matter what I did, fat32 is the only thing I could get to work.

Use "Bootice" by "www.ipauly.com" to format the sd card to FAT,FAT32,NTFS. Or you can try some another windows utility to format (I think your windows right click format fn is not working properly.) There are various options to choose, choose "partition editor -> your sd card -> create partition table as USB-HDD" option. This will recreate the partition table of the sd card.
I have tested exFAT with TN7, but it doesn't work. FAT,FAT32,NTFS work. I think EXT2/3/4 will not work with sd cards.

If those devices would at least support ext4 on their sd-cards ... just for files >4gb.
Thanks, will try bootice.

TEGRA NOTE 7 compatible micro SD card file system
I bought a 64GB micro SD that the TEGRA NOTE wouldn't read. As it turned out the problem was caused by the exFat file system on the card that the T.N. wouldn't even recognize. NTFS is recognized but it is read only and finally FAT32 is fully recognized, I am now able to read and write on my SD card. I used bootice by Pauly to perform the operations as suggested above, chose "USB-HDD" option and all is OK now.
