Do the SGT 10.1's already have ext4 or not? if not, is there a way to get it put on there?
personal reasons.
yep /system /data /cache are all mounted on a EXT4 filesystem on my stock Tab 10.1

But internal storage is FAT not ext4... This is why over 4 GB files does NOT supported...
ext4 or ext3 file system has better performance than FAT32 ... Archos's Android devices use ext3 or ext4 for better performance and there isn't any restriction about over 4 GB files (especially for 720p movies ... ) ...
ext3 or ext4 file system can be seen on Windows platform without any problem by means of one application...
My old Archos 5 Internet Tablet has 32 GB internal memory which ext3 file system. I can transfer over 4 GB movies without problem under MTP mode ...
No, there is no fat32 partition on the tabet. It's all ext4, more infos here:

The problem with files bigger than 4gb being transfered via mtp lies somewhere else.

As I said before Archos's MTP mode supports without problem.
Moreover, Archos's files system can be formated FAT32 or ext3 ... Both system are supported!...
I think Samsung Galaxy Tab's files system of internal memory is FAT not ext3 or ext4 ...
If so can you instert ext3 or ext4 formated external usb pen drive via "usb adaptor" .... Well I don't think so...
You might think it is fat32 but it is ext4. Download a terminal emulator, type in "mount" and see for yourself. It has all been explained in the links above.
And sorry, I have no idea what an usb mount has to do with the fact that the internal storage or "/sdcard" is part of the /data partition and /data is ext4.

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.
hey people
ive run into a bit of a problem i removed my 8gb microsd card from my htc magic and formatted it to fat32 and also have created a fat 32 partition on it named EXT2, now heres where the issue arrises i place it back into the phone and swicth it on plug it into the usb on my vista laptop and mount the card through the phones options but it doesnt show up in the windows explorer so i can transfer anything to it? however if i put it in an adaptor and run windows explorer it sees it no probs, any ideas how to get the remount working!!!!
also does the scond partition need to be fat32 also or ? and ive called it EXT2 in caps not ext2 in lower case will this be an 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.
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.
After formatting the card on linux via gparted, android shows the sd card as damaged and asks me to format it? How does one mount an ext4 card?
I am just guessing, but since the SD has to be compatible as USB Mass Storage Device, it must be formatted in FAT32. Windows for example cannot handle linux/UNIX specific partitions like ext3 or ext4.
Hi, anyone can suggest me for best file system sdcard 128GB that can write more than 4GB files? I think Mi A1 support exFAT file system, but not. I don't like using mysdcard as internal storage.

Fat format system doesn't support more than 4gb per file transfert
Tour sdcard will be formated in the appropriate format when you'll put in it
Just don't choose the internal option
It will be in ext4 if things haven't changed

Well then try to format it on ext4 or NTFS through your PC and see if it is correctly mounted and recognised when you put it into your mia1

I was try to format my sdcard to ext4 from mini partition tools software, but it remains undetected and is only considered a corrupted memory card in stock ROM.

Format your sdcard from your pc (default values)

Stock does not support exfat or NTFS. It only support fat32 if you are using custom rom then you can use any format . Fat32 only support upto 4 gb file size.
