I've recently screwed up the whole internal filesystem, can anyone out there spare me a /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 backup? or is there any way to remake that partition?

I'm currently using data2ext with B 0.8, and I have a 2gb ext4 partition. I tried performing a backup using BlaY0's "Customized CWM 3.0.1.3 fake-flash with ext4 support". However, I get a message saying something along the lines of "Couldn't mount sd-ext. Sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device."
Any ideas? Is it unable to backup a ext partition larger than 1gb? Is there any alternative to a nandroid backup?
EDIT: Damn, is this cause I cheated when partitioning the SD card?
I guess the problem is in ext4 feature huge_files. Even tho my customized CWM has ext4 support, it lacks huge files support (files over 2TB). This feature however is set by default when formatting ext4 partition. It can be turned off using tune2fs. Consult mr. Google on how to use tune2fs.

i tried turning off huge_file support but i still cant nandroid the ext4 partition created with the customised fake flash.
from adb shell in latest CWM recovery i tried:
tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

then rebooted but still not love with nandroid mountind the ext4 partition
fixed my problem:
i had reverted to using CWM 2.5.0.7 gui / update.zip which does not support ext4
so going back to blay0's custom update.zip (3.0.1.3) I can now nandroid backup my ext4 partition. (i have still got huge_files turned off as per above)
Just dunno how to use blay0s version with rom recovery gui, but no biggie
Hi,
when i copy bml 1,2,3 etc. I can mount most of the partitions in linux using the loop mount. I cannot do this with the efs partition. Does anyone know how to decrypt it? A work around is to copy the files themselves.
Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of selling my DZ () and as a part of that, I'm attempting to ensure that as little of my personal data is available to a potential buyer. As such, I'm pushing large dummy files to partitions like /cache, /data and /system to ensure that any of my residual data is overwritten.
However, looking at Root Explorer, I'm seeing mounts like /vendor and /etc that have free space. Are these actual partitions or are they "virtual"?
Thanks!
My Idea is to change the Filesystem on my d802.
Via adb I pulled the whole /data/media partion so that I can Push it back later.
I am not really Sure how this will work with the System partition.
I believe that flashing a cloudy G3 rom will Format the System partition back to ext4 (i think it's in the install Script).
So Would it be possible that I remove that "formating System" line to keep f2fs. Any other thoughts on this?
several days ago I try to re-partition my XT1575 with CM13.0 in recovery mode using "parted".
before re-partitioning I backuped the /data and /system partitions in recovery.
then using "parted" tool I reduced the size of /system from 4G to 1.5G, and increased /data from about 9G to 11.5G.
then I tried to restore the backup to restore my data, but the size of /system and /data were restored either.
I'm wondering if I re-partitioned /system and /data first and then install a new .zip, will the size of partitions restore to original size?
