[Q] How to use Dharam FileSystem Changer

HELP
Comming from Indroid 4.1, my a Class 6 16Go SDCard has 3 partitions (FTAT32, ext2 and ext4), I try to install Dharam Clean Performance but I can't have /system -ext2 /data -ext4 /cache -ext2.
I use Dharam FileSystem Changer and select :
---------------------------------DATA2SD---------------------------
11. Special (Cache: ext2, Data: ext4, System: ext2)
After reboot, I got stl6 ext2, stl7 rfs and stl8 ext2 mounted !!!
In /sdcard/android/data/fugumod/fs.current, I have
mmcblk0p2 ext4
stl6 ext2
stl7 rfs
stl8 ext2
and Data2sd is not enabled !!!
Shall I check an other option ?
Thanks for answer

u flashed dharam clean performance rite...
so now u need to re-enable data2sd using this...
re-enable, not enable(this may cause u to lose ur data)
once u re-enable and get ur partitions working...

Thank you dharammaniar for quick replay.
I'll try.
Can you tell the right way to prepare a proper flash.
I format all, create 1,2Go ext2 partition and flash JPM.
What are the optimal size for ext2 et ext4 I have to create with minitool ?
Shall I let the sdcard in the phone during Odin flash ?
Thanks for very usefull help.

1) FLash XXjPM
2) FLash my ROM(Performance edition i suggest)
3) once u have the rom working fine without data2sd, then continue ahead.
4) partition sdcard using cwm recovery...size for sd-ext and swap-whatever u req...
5) reboot.
6) use data2sd enabler...and use first option in it
7) once data2sd is working, use filesystemchanger to special with data2sd...
This.should be enuf...

Really pleased

I use win7 64, in control panel the phone reconized as ADB interface and USB Controlers as SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface but no usb drive is mounted and even ODIN doesn't reconize it.
I remember once with other rom, having the same issue and after reflash it comes back !!
Do you have any solution to my problem ?
Thanks in advance

I did :
connect the phone
uninstall the device
reboot both
connect the phone, it reinstalls all the drivers
not reconized by ODIN
select as USB masse storage on the phone, the device open in the file explorer
unmount the masse storage and retry ODIN
nothing
reboot all
wipe data/cache
All the time the same
I'm really confused !!!
any other idea ?

i get :
C:\adb>adb shell

It seems that I have su access
If I see in enable~woSwap.bat
adb -d push .\sdcard\Android\data\fugumod\fs.data2sd /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod
adb -d push .\sdcard\Android\data\fugumod\fs.convert /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod
Is it suffisant to copy both files fs.data2sd and fs.convert in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod and reboot ?
Is there any special writes to give with Rootexplorer or else ?

I copy the 2 files fs.data2sd and fs.convert in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod and after reboot the properties of the phone give 798Mo internal memory and all my apps gone.
No adb connexion ...
I wipe, reinstall TB, but still no show data2sd
In mount shell, I have
stl6 /system ext2
no stl7 but /dev/block/mmcblk0p2/data ext 4
stl8 /cache ext2
Can you give the command line in terminal to have propre /system -ext2 /data -ext4 /cache -ext2 ? I'll lock for adb connect later.
I tried with adb wireless
adb connect myip : port give connected
I launch Filesystem Changer in adb prompt, it gives an error, but the phone reboot and now in /sdcard/android/data/fugumod/
I have 2 files fs.data2sd and fs.current, fs.convert disapared
fs.current contain :
mmcblk0p2 ext4
stl6 ext2
stl7 rfs
stl8 ext2
In Titanium Backup data2sd still no shown
mount shell still give
stl6 /system ext2
no stl7 but /dev/block/mmcblk0p2/data ext 4
stl8 /cache ext2
I think something missing, right ?
Thanks for your support

no stl7 but /dev/block/mmcblk0p2/data ext 4 -- this means u have data2sd...
after reboot the properties of the phone give 798Mo internal memory and all my apps gone - Also means u have data2sd...and ur apps which were in internal memory at not there now...
there must be some problem with titanium...i think...

[Q] About custom roms and storage

Hey GT540 users!
I tryed many roms so far, for example utopia, aokp 4.0.4, project icecreamswift, some 2.3.7 roms which i dont remember the developers and etc. On every single custom rom i realise that i have space probs. I install around 15 apps and my device runs out of storage (or space) really really fast.
Please can you suggest some ideas about this problem? I allready made an ext3 partition on my sd card and really really care to use it smarter and wiser. I tryed link2sd but seems it crash a lot and all my apps are really messed up. If again ext3 is not needed, thats fine. i really need some suggestions.
Is anything i can do without an application? If not, do u mind suggest me some application please that works 100%?
Anything you want to ask im here.
Thanx in advance!!!

For 2.2 and 2.3 roms just use this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171531

i really really dont think thats a good idea... i really prefer i simple way than this...

I use link2sd without any issues - try an ext2 partition
Also, try the link -Grift- posted. That is actually quite easy, all you do is boot into fastboot, connect to PC, run a program, click some buttons DONE!
If you don't want to do any of these, then you are a bit stuck, sorry to say!

ok thanx for your info!
will try make an ext2 1st and retry link2sd, if not changing partiotion is my last hope

ok i installed link2sd and this time seems it works fine... well.. so far
the only problem i got, when i reboot the phone, the application link2sd requires a 2nd restart (soft one) because cant mount the apps. Is this ok or done again something wrong?
Cheers

I have the same problem too. link2sd cannot automount the 2nd partition at boot so each time I have to reboot the phone I must reboot it 2 more times to get link2sd mount the 2nd partition correctly. How can I solve this problem

no1 intrested to help us?

In Link2SD, Press the menu button, then select 'More'. Select Recreate mount script. Choose your ext partition type, then ok. Reboot your phone. If it still asks you to remount, try these command on Terminal:
Code:
mount -rw -t ext2 -o remount /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
then
Code:
mount -rw -t ext2 -o remount /dev/block/mmmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
If it's not an ext2 partition, change the 'ext2' in the command with what your ext partition is.

Did you use the Android "Move to USB storage" or "Move to SD card" idk function? on android 2.2 and above?
You don't need to repartition your SD card for it

I would suggest to use Apps2ROM app. This is an application that has the ability to move normal (user) application into the ROM and use them as system apps. Th application can also uninstall system apps.
So, first you can get rid of system applications that you do not use and you utilize also the available system memory. Be careful not to go under 20 MB of the system mem.
You need root access to do so and some care not to uninstall essential system apps for the stability of the Operating system.

I guess the 1st code is fine, no errors on my phone, but when i type the 2nd code, i get this message:

So... what have i done wrong now?

Carefully re-partition your Nook and see if there is anything salvageable.
There are update and recovery packages all over the 'net.
The problem is to get your personalized Ids and keys back.

try as Renate told but the main problem is every nook have it's uniq info (ID , Serial , Mac Address , Model...etc) so
i suggest u use any program recovery ro recover ur recovery IMage or go to a specialist and ask him to recover ur deleted data .... it can be recovered ..... or there's another solution , if u have friend own NST glowwhite , take a back up from him and burn in ur nook partition ... ur id and mac address will be like him . but i dont know if it will make wifi work or not .... but i suggest turn off ur wifi to avoid get error and just use ur nook for reading
good luck

The backup image should be close to 1.86 GB, so your's could be good.
If in Windows, now you should:
1) create an sdcard to boot the nook from with noogie in it. Search the forum for noogie.img.gz and you should find instructions
2) insert the card in the nook, restart the nook, and hook it to your computer
3) in your pc run win32diskimager or diskimage and write your backup to the pyhisical disk that's 1.8g GB in size.
4) make sure nothing goes wrong, and if successful eject the sdcard and boot the nook normally.
good luck

if you run

from within ADB you should see something like this:

128 heads, 32 sectors/track, 934 cylinders

And you should be able to mount every partition without errors or warnings:
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /factory
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /emmc
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data
if this is not you case, then it will take some time and expertise to revive your device.
You'd better go step by step and avoid mistakes (been there, done that) =)

[HOWTO] flash stock rom without internal sd (Movinand chip damaged and removed)

This guide for GTP1000 internal SD damaged and removed
This link is guide how to remove movinand chip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877585
How to flash Overcome Stock ROM
- to prepare you must have
Overcome gb_Stock_save_v5.tar (modem.bin needed),
overcome_kernel_v4.0.0.tar or CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar
and root explorer.apk,
- make 3 partition on microSD, 1st fat32, 2nd ext4, 3th ext4,
example : 16 gb -> 13.6gb fat32, 2gb ext4, 0.4gb ext4
use gparted on linux or MiniTool Partition (Windows)
- remove hidden.rfs, movinand.mst from GB_Stock_Save_v5.tar
- copy root explorer.apk to microSD, then plug to gtp1000
- turn on download mode, flash by odin, DON'T CHECK REPARTITION
- after finished, auto restart and will showed error MBR bla bla
(because movinand doesn't exists anymore), ignore it,
if doesn't boot but cwm recovery then wipe factory reset/data, wipe partition,
reboot system
- wait for about 5 - 10 minute, then turn off
- download mode, Flash kernel your choose (must be suport ext4), restart automaticaly when finished. wait until everyting done.
- Unplug usb from PC, on your gtab go to setting, application,
check mark -> Unknown source
development,
check mark -> USB debugging
- connect usb to PC, use adb from PC, and follow this code:
c:\adbtool\adb shell
~$
if your access not root then type
~$ su
take a look your GTP1000 superuser message, then tab allowed
~# mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
- run my files on your gtab, explore and install root explorer.apk
- open root explorer, tap mount R/W, tap and hold vold.fstab on /system/etc,
select "open in text editor" edit follow this:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = disable
discard = disable
format_option = -r 1558
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file
asec = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
save, exit from root explorer, restart gtab, and profit
Edit:
If overcome kernel fail then try CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar

One think i wanna know..
Why internal-sd broken??
I dont know is corrupt is similar with broken or not but overcome kernel (now with my personal kernel) on recovery mode with parted command can solve my internal-sd problem..

I don't know why
May be oc then over heating or else, but last i use is wifi theater for a long time then turn off by self, stuck on samsung logo when i turn on again
So i restock with overcome, nothing happen, restock samsung firmware, nothing happen too, edit some rc not work too, edit file on /system/etc/init.d and vold.fstab not fully function.
Google it, and found someone (CrhisCTX)with the same problem and he fix by removed movinand chip.

Im sorry my english is not good enough but can u give 'mount' and 'parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print' result ?
If internal-sd broken so which partition u use for /data ? As long as i know /data use mmcblk0p2 and if internal-sd broken i thing u can use that partition too..

Yes it is, thats why i create 3 parition. Fat32,ext4,ext4
After remove movinand chip from main board, mmcblk1 automaticaly known as mmcblk0, but the blocks still on /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
mmcblk0p3 mount as /preload (note: on gb)
mmcblk0p2 mount as /data
mmcblk0p1 not automaticaly mount as /sdcard
So thats why i need edit vold.fstab manualy

Mmm i see maybe internal-sd is realy broken not only corrupt.. coz if only corrupt parted, fat.format, mkfs.ext2 or other command can solve it..

mounting script
Sorry for late respon.. I only add that script to init.d folder.. Make sure mmcbkl1p2,3,4 as ext4 if that partition as rfs so need edit ext4 to rfs on script file..
I use that script to check/modify my 2ndRom on 1stRom..

Yupz its doesnt as i say before it only help me to know my 2ndRom is exsist when i use my 1stRom..
Dont confuse with double mount /system (thats bugs on my kernel till now) in fact its /system running on mmcblk1p2

i would to thank you
so i've try it but i know nothing about android system files so i 'm a big noob )
but :
i 've flashed like you say just the rom i ve used overcome 7 4.10
How to flash Overcome Stock ROM
- to prepare you must have
Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe
overcome_kernel_v4.0.0.tar or CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar
- make 3 partition on microSD, 1st fat32, 2nd ext4, 3th ext4,
example : 16 gb -> 13.6gb fat32, 2gb ext4, 0.4gb ext4
use gparted on linux or MiniTool Partition (Windows)
and edit vold.fstab with note pad with
- open Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe in winrar "windows users",vold.fstab on /system/etc,
select "open in notepad ++" edit follow this:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = disable
discard = disable
format_option = -r 1558
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file
asec = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
save your new file in the overcome zip and boot your gtp1000 tab in recovery mod and go to install zip from internal and let do it the gtp1000 will reboot , it's take time so and you will see your fat 32 partition as internal sd ))) i hope taht answer will help
thank too all develloppers

why only this stock ROM can be flashed ? I want arabic stock ROM how can I flash ? I tried but with no success

Weird ! I followed all steps but I don't see my FAT partition ( 13gb ) in phone Storage ! what's wrong ?
what's working vold.fstab I have to use to solve that ?

im not sure this thing work really ... I tried about 3 times on 3 different phones! best seem to change emmc chip

I'm curious as to feasibility of either swapping this Chip for a larger 32GB Chip, or simply replacing it if need be.
Seems to me the hard part would be finding the correct kind of Glue to use though. I can't imagine that getting hold of these Chips would be any more harder then any other Part of the P1000...

Link2SD on Amazon Fire TV

Problem statement
The Amazon Fire TV has a limited memory sotrage of less than 5GB.
FolderMount allows for moving App data/obb to a USB device. Remaining components of the App, which sometimes are the larger part of the app, can't be transfered using
These remaining components can be 100s of MB and even above 1GB (Sine Mora is 292MB, Walking Dead is 1.14GB)
Solution
Link2SD allows for moving these components to an external SD card in the phone world. Below I'll describe how to do this on the Amazon Fire TV with a USB device.
This post heavily relies on tweaking a post by sashavasko. Major kudos to him. Up to finding his post I was not successful in mounting in a way that Link2SD could see the mount. This was due to a change in Android 4.2+ where one App's mounting isn't seen by others.
Below is a step by step guide for running this. I've posted a script for automating this here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54601505&postcount=33
Requirements: Root, Mouse, Terminal Application
Step 0 - Preparations : Format a USB device to the Ext4 File system and install Link2SD
Ext4
Link2SD refers to parititoning your SDcard to both Ext4 and FAT, this is not required on our USB device. All we need is an Ext4 partiton we can mount for Link2SD.
I had a high end USB device I used for FolderMount. For testing, I got a 16GB Lexar Jump Drive, which got decent reviews. $8 at Staples ( even less with the right coupon. Other sizes are also cheap). Both went into my Powered USB hub.
You can also partition a single FAT32 USB device to two partitons - FAT32 and Ext4. I have verified both options. Please note that for this second option, if you already have files on your FAT32 USB device, you'd have to first copy them to a backup, as the partitioning trashes your data. You will then need to restore the backed up files to the FAT partition.
Format/Partition your USB device to Ext4 using free MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition on your Desktop/Laptop. Below is a nice post on this (Refer only to step 1), you can find others. Please note that this refers to an SDCard. We will be doing this on a USB device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37405779&postcount=1
In partitioning, please verify the partitions are created as Primary. Also, not sure is this is required, but I didn't name my partitions.
There are also linux commands to do this - I didn't investigate these.
Stick the Ext4 partitoned USB device into your Amazon Fire TV and power it up. We will need the device in for Step 2.
Link2SD
Download Link2SD from the Google Play store, or sideload it
Make the directory Link2SD requires
Code:
su
mkdir /data/sdext2
exit
Step 1 - Fix adb localhost
Follow step 1 in sashavasko's post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45102645&postcount=1
Note1:
You will need a terminal app for this
Note2:
This step should only be run once. Running multiple times can mess the /data/misc/adb/adb_keys file as the key values will concatenate with sashavasko's method. This will cause mounting at boot not to work. If you did this or not sure if you've done this, just erase the duplicate keys from the /data/misc/adb/adb_keys file (the end of a single key is "[email protected] ). Or, better yet, if you aren't seeing any other different keys there - simply su and copy /sdcard/.android/adbkey.pub onto this file.
Step 2 - Install scripts
Follow step 2 in sashavasko's post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45102645&postcount=1
Note 1
Look for your Ext4 partitoned device after running:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
You should find the Ext4 device under /device/block starting with sd.
For example: My first USB device is sda1, the Ext4 partitoned one was sdb1 (sdb2 when the Lexar drive was partitoned to FAT32 and Ext4).
You should be able to recognize the devices according to their partition sizes.
Note 2
The msd2.sh file should be changed to be:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t ext4 [COLOR="Purple"]/dev/block/[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]sdb1[/COLOR][COLOR="purple"] /data/sdext2 [/COLOR]&& sleep 5 && /system/bin/vold
where the sdb1 device should be replaced by the device you located in Note 1.
Step 3 - Test the script and grant su permissions
Run this (no su command required, no path to the sd.sh file is required)
Code:
sd.sh
Verify you aren't seeing any errors. You will be granting SU permissions.
Run Link2SD. Go to the menu at the top right. Select "Storage Info" - Verify Link2SD recognizes the Ext4 partiton in the third line (under SD Card 2nd Part. ).
Step 4 - Auto Mount at initialization
For this I'm using the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script which you should already have. This script loads at boot and calls /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh (a non existent file).
Create a file at /sdcard/install-recovery-2.sh which contains
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/sd.sh
Now move the file to its place:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/install-recovery-2.sh /system/etc/
chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
Now Reboot (Long press remote Select + Play)
Step 5 - Link2SD ready to go
Open Link2SD to verify (as you verified before) that after boot Link2SD sees the Ext4 partiton.
Start moving files using Link2SD :
Select an App
Go to "Create Link" - You will be asked which file types to move. Check them all (not the paid option if you haven't paid).
Link2SD will show "Creating Link...", then an advert (in the non payed version) and then: Application files linked and moved to SD card
Note the expected storage change in the Amazon Fire TV's "About" menu option will be seen after Rebooting.
"Remove Link" works properly
"Move to SD card" is not relevant
Final Words
Don't use this to move system apps, or system-like apps
Responsibly for running this is solely on you. I am only describing what works for me.

Works great thanks

I'd love to see a standalone app for installing this.

The msd2.sh file mentioned in Step2/Note2 is used to create a fake external SD Ext4 partition for Link2SD.
You can also use it to create a fake external SD FAT partition at /storage/sdcard1 for FolderMount.
FolderMount automatically recognizes this partition and suggests this as the initial path for its destination path suggestion.
In my case - sda1 is the FAT partition (For me - a USB stick fully formatted to FAT32), and sdb1 is the ext4 formatted USB stick. The same should work with a single partitioned USB stick (but different sd* device names - see original post).
The updated msd2.sh file looks like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
[COLOR="DarkGreen"]mount -t vfat /dev/block/[COLOR="Red"]sda1[/COLOR] /storage/sdcard1[/COLOR] && mount -t ext4 [COLOR="Magenta"]/dev/block/[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]sdb1[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]/data/sdext2[/COLOR] && sleep 5 && /system/bin/vold

The one annoying thing about this is during boot it will read the entire partition. This in turn in my case makes booting the Fire TV really slow. Lets hope I dont have to reboot much because it now takes around 2-3 minutes to boot up.

I 2nd this. This is as close as we're gonna get to downloading Apps, ets., straight to an attached external drive but I know enough about this stuff to be somewhat intimidated by the initial instructions. Not that they're not clear, it just looks like I'd have too many avenues to brick my box.
Still...very good work OP. Thanks again.

Come on guys, this is XDA developers
OK, I have this brewing. Should post it by tomorrow.

awesome. how easy is it to reverse this entire process? I'd really like to know the risks before I take the plunge

I think the process can be greatly simplified. On my computer I created install-recovery-2.sh with the two lines below:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /storage/sdcard1 && mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda2 /data/sdext2 && /system/bin/vold
Then I connected via adb to the fireTV from my computer.
Then an adb push of install-recovery-2.sh to /sdcard and then did an adb shell to the fireTV from my computer and su once there.
Copied from install-recovery-2.sh from /sdcard to /system/etc
Did a chmod 755 on the file to make it executable and then rebooted and all seems to be working well with partitions recognized.

- tselling, is Link2sd working with this ?
- If someone is working succesfully with Link2sd using tselling's method please report back. This is indeed a shorter route.

Link2sd found ok and I linked sevzero without problems. Should note that I use sda1 and sda2 for fat32 in first primary partition and ext4 on second primary pzrtition of same usb flash drive. Any other setup would need to have different script to match your drive setup.

why does this need more than 1 partition to work anyways? Is it just because the app requires it for some weird reason?
edit: also which partition needs to be the bigger one? do the sizes matter? and does stickmount need to be disabled for this to work?

why does this need more than 1 partition to work anyways? - Link2sd description in play store:
What you need for linking apps:
● root permission.
● a second partition on your SD card.
You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.
The first FAT partition is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs or FAT.
You need to use a non-FAT file system (ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs) on your second partition in order to link app's private data files. Because the FAT file system (FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT) does not support UNIX file ownership or permissions and will cause a security breakdown of app's private files.
Link2SD Plus can move app's private data files if you have a non-FAT partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So we may be able to use FAT (haven't tried it) but we will lose some moving capabilities.
From my testing - FolderMount does work with the ext4 partiton, so I need two partitions (or 2 usb sticks).
also which partition needs to be the bigger one? - No restriction. Allocate as per your decision and experience with storage costs of apps.
do the sizes matter? - Don't believe her. It does.
Sorry. Uncalled for. Apologies. Not personal. I just had to.
and does stickmount need to be disabled for this to work? - No, it doesn't

Ok, let's try and minimize this. Could it be due to tselling using a single partitioned USB drive, while I'm using two drives ?
I need a report back from someone with a single USB drive who tried tselling's simpler approach. If it failed - Maybe tselling added something along that he wasn't aware of. If it passed - Maybe that's a requirement for the simpler approach.
In other news, the script to automate this is take slightly more than I thought, due to unix-android differences (I come from a unix background). That, and the fact that we may have a simpler solution is delaying me. Oh, also had to stay late at work yesterday, Oooh and the dog ate my laptop.

What about Foldermount?
What about FolderMount for Data and OBB files? Can I still use it with Link2SD on same card?

I think it has to do with the mount points. I have the ext4 partition mounted to /data/ext2 where I think link2sd looks. I think that you could use an entire usb stick with one partition as ext4 mounted to /data/ext2 but your script would change

also, I am planning to use foldermount with the first fat32 partition I created, but I haven't gotten that far as I want to use the Pro version but need the play store loaded first.

OOPS, I did forget one part "mkdir /data/sdext2" (otherwise the mount fails).

Sorry, the directory is /data/sdext2
Your mount command is:

Also I am not 100% sure that ext2 filesystem works. ext4 works for sure.
