Default mount partition is rfs..
Kernel can make other partition like ext4 can run..
type "cat /proc/mounts". you'll get all the visible partition info there

Samsung's GB uses RFS by default... sorry! Unless ofcourse you "lagfix" it into EXT4...
I just thought I read that the gingerbread update was going to change that. http://m.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-brings-ext4-file-system-new-devices . Or is the galaxy s exempt from this?

No prasad007 is correct.the sgs file system is rfs.its a matter of opinion and personal choice whether to convert to ext4

Cool did the change to ext4 seems a little better. Although the stock gingerbread was pretty fast. I was just worried I had messed up the gingerbread upgrade. Anyway thanx heaps ppl

No, you have seen that the Nexus S switch from yaffs2 to ext4 for the Google's Nexus phones line, nothing else. And as Galaxy S isn't the Nexus S..
No I did voodoo lagfix

I use this method. Partition your sd card through recovery (backup everything on it first) convert to ext3 and install this app.

just like darktremor but easier and can be used on any and every rom

Try downloading a different CWM zip file (search in XDA). Maybe yours is corrupted.

I herd about SWAP PARTITION . I don't know anyting about it.
Please tell me WHAT IS SWAP PARTITION ? HOW IT IS USEFUL? HOW CAN I USE IT?
Sent from my GT540 using xda app-developers app
swap partition is a partition (little part) on the SD card. its usually ~32-512 MB big.
swap is a little help for the RAM. big apps can be transferred to this partition if the RAM is full.
on gt540 ics/jb ROMs need swap to work properly, buzt on the other side it slows down the whole system especially with a slow SD card.
for gingerbread ROMs it's not needed but MAY improve your experience
How can i make swap partition ?
It is properly run on sdsl?
How can i transfered app to swap partition when Rom is full?
I also know more about this partition ?
Which type of partition should i make?and how?

I made a sticky thread in the dev forum about how to make one. I think i better clear somethings up, swap is used by the system to be (RAM) If you want more space to install apps then that is a totally different partition type.

Not all kernels support swap
if you get an error at the terminal command use another kernel - see the kernel op to see if swap is on the feature list
