How to find out the file system of the SD-EXT??? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Sorry for this noob question. Is there a way to find out the file system of the SD-EXT? Whether it is EXT/EXT2/EXT3 or EXT4? I created a SD-EXT of 1GB with CWM 5.0.2.6(HD2toolkit) . But the file system type is to be stated when using Link2SD.

CWM creates ext3. You can confirm that by going to terminal emulator or adb shell and typing mount. Look for /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

using rom manager to make sd partition and making it at recovery the same?

Is making sd partition at rom manager and making it at recovery the same?
What is ext2,ext3 and ext4? Because if i use rom manager to make partition it does not ask that.
Thanks.

anyone care to answer???
Its the same, I'd rather partition it using my computer though. Using gparted live cd.

Mounting specific partitions?

I know this has been asked a lot of times but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Even my own earlier post is somehow deleted (prolly as it was in the dev section)
So once more, please?
I want to mount the sd card boot partition on my NC running CM7 (sd card - verygreen's method) so that I can copy some zips to flash.
Thanks.

If sd install:
busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot (this is done the first time only)
busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
then put the zips you want on /sdcard/boot... they will go to the boot partition
if eMMC install change mmcblk1p1 above to mmcblk0p1

I want to mount specific partitons onto my NC, not PC.
e.g. when running emmc CM7, it doesn't mount all partitons of SD. I was asking a way to mount these "other" partitions.

[SOLVEDL]Y not booting with kuro kernel

Heyyyy buddies
I was using ussrv5+kuro kernel 1+ akurodata2sd
Today I thought of uninstalling games and apps cause of 12th board, cet, aieee...
After uninstalling 32 apps...
I open cf3d and uninstalled it my phone rebooted with lots of force closes then it stuck on splash screen
I restored my latest backup
Same fate
Went to internet cafe downloaded DDLF2 odin pack (thanks to sir docky73)
Flashed it and phone booted..
After that restored my backup and wow it booted...
Bt kernel was stock one
My all apps were gone...
So I flashed kuro kernel and again it stucked at splash screen
So I flashed stock kernel
Now all my apps are gone..
They were in 2nd partition
So which kernel should I flash????
And worst thing
I heard a conversation in my cell
Stock Kernel to battery: Babes I am gonna eat you
Battery:noooooooo!!!!! Somebody plzzz save me

Use savies rev 73, the easiest to install and user-friendly kernel yet with very good performance imo..I had problems booting with kuro kernel for some ROMs (having custom kernels), but with savies kernel never had a problem
Merruk Dev 7 would be the best performing kernel out there, but a bit tricky to get it installed..
thats's akuro failure. the phone didn't boot because the data inside ext partition is different with the one used by system. you must delete /data folder inside your sdcard partition to boot up. after that you can copy /data/data into /system/sd/data as usual. if you don't know how to delete /data folder inside your sdcard, the easiest way is reformat your partition.

What if I delete akuro script from init.d and make a complete wipe of 2nd partition...
Or
Which partition I should delete???
/sdcard/data or /data/data
P.s. I never moved my /data/data to /system/sd/data

for safety reason you can delete (or copy into somwhere else) all files in your init.d folder and wipe 2nd partition. after that you can move your tweaks into init.d again. this step might a lil bit inconvenient but in this way we could boot up the system succesfully and easily diagnose the problem source.

umm...you better don't touch any of them. you can copy /data/data to /system/sd/ to activate dt2sd function and prevent system to write your original /data partition but you'd better don't delete/modify them

Terminal command to wipe 2nd partition plzzz
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Code:
su
mount -t extX -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
note:
1. extX - replace X with your type partition
2. its mmcblk[zero]p[two]
after executing these command you can go to /system/sd then delete all files there. if you don't have any app backup you can move the /app content to your sdcard. in this way you can reinstall all your app later.

[Q] Mount partition without init.d?

Ok guys, this is my first post since i've joined this forum for a long time.
I've a question, how does Link2SD work on stock ROM without init.d support?
I mean the mount script. How does it work?
For example:
I've mounted my 2nd partition to /data/myext via terminal emulator. everytime i am restarting my phone the partition just lost (unmounted) so i've to mount it again via terminal emulator manually.
Are there any way to mount my partition automatically every boot?
Sorry for my bad english
It's the work of a custom kernel sir. Not bad for a first post, you created a topic in a wrong section. This should be in Q&A.

I'm sorry if i wrong posted here.
But, link2sd doesn't need a custom kernel to run sir. Link2sd can run in stock rom + stock kernel and without init.d support.

As far as I know, Link2SD uses a init.d script to mount the partition of the sdcard at boot, so a kernel with init.d support is required for the auto-mounting at boot.
I heard about an app wich enables init.d support on stock kernel, but i dont remember the Name nor if it was here in SGY section or in Android apps and games section.
Also I think, Tasker can mount the partition at boot, if you make the boot condition as trigger for a shell script, wich mounts the partition, but I dont know, if ist working this way.

I think Link2SD doesn't use init.d, because i'm using a STOCK ROM and STOCK Kernel without init.d support and link2d is still working. I've also checked my /system/etc folder, and there is no init.d folder. So LINK2SD doesn't use init.d i guess
Btw, what is that tasker? Can you explain me? I'm new to linux & android.

Link2sd only uses the init.d folder if you partitioned your sd card.

I've partitioned my sdcard. I've created mount script to mount my 2nd partition. I've seen /data/data folder, it's a 2nd sdcard partition, right? So the 2nd partition has mounted.
But you said that link2sd used init.d, but i'm using a stock rom without init.d support, i checked my /system/etc and there is no init.d folder, so my rom doesnt support init.d.
So i think Link2sd doesnt use init.d script to mount 2nd partition every boot
So, how do i mount my 2nd partition without Link2sd and without init.d support. Because link2d has done it.

No, you're wrong sir. Link2sd only ENABLED your 2nd partition! Without init.d support, your 2nd partition can't be mounted every boot. That's the purpose of the script, to mound the sdext2 every boot.
Btw, i think what you're asking is impossible. Sorry 'bout that.

How about install-recovery.sh in /system partition
When I opened it with root explorer there is a command to mount 2nd partition
Code:
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2

hi did you find your answer ? id like to do the same , mount a folder to another folder before the ui and apps get started

Internal storages Swap. HOW ?

Hi,
i have two identical NC devices [ from the outside], but
here are the difference in the inside:
#first:
- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 0.9GB
- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 5GB
#second:
- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 4.9GB
- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 1GB
and i want to change #second NC internal storage to look/work as onthe #first
i read and tried this:
- changing from this
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,noemulatedsd
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:8,nonremovable
to this:
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:8
Also fstab.encore are identical on both devices.
but does not helped.
Can anyone help with this or point to the right dirrection ?
Thanks
The issue is that BN changed the internal partitioning sizes for the newer Nook Colors. Dean Gibson developed a set of tools to repartition the newer nooks back to the original sizes if desired. See this thread:

You are using too new of a CWM it must be older than v6045. You can find one on my Nook Color Tips thread.

No, it takes a little effort to change files and make sure they work. Not worth to me the extra effort when it can be flashed with the older CWM.

Each device uses different partition structures so there is not an easy answer for this. And on top of that most newer devices do not use the DOS partition structure like the PC and the Nook Color does. Therefore fdisk will not work on them. They use a newer structure called GPT that is more robust than the DOS structure. And you must use the tool gdisk.
