Type mount on terminal to check whether ur partition is rfs or ext4
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Using root explorer go to /cache and delete all in it.. If it still gives 4.x mb used 31 mb free then it is ext4 formatted
Or flash a kernel with no ext4 support like whitexp or your hells fusion.. If your phone boots up then you are definitely not on an ext4 system

Kernel That lets you use Ext2 and ext4 FS
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...crapkernel_v2-ext24-5-linpack-root-undervolt/
I have a recovery on my intercept that let's you change the filesystem and it does make a huge difference when booting up.

First EXT4 Module compiled with the newest opensource kernel from samsung :
insmod jbd2
insmod ext4
I successfully created a partition formatted ext4.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/sdcard/sdext4 ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0
This need to be tested.
downloading ...and how to convert the partition ?
To convert, we need to make a script (IE: lagfix script)...
I dont know yet what is the best way to use EXT4 :
- Lagfix
- Custom recovery
- ....

My phone for reasons unknown reboots every time I uninstall or uninstall an app and sometimes when it get stuck and lags like no tomorrow...
Running on 4.3 indroid darkfroyo (this used to happen on kyrillos 5.7too)
Fugumod 2.43 beta standard
Class 2 2gb SD card
Partitioned SD card using cwm recovery
System = rfs
Cache = ext2
Data = ext4
Changed using indroid fact app
Anyone know anything about this?

Happens also to me on stock bojpc
What it should b..
/system ext4
/data ext4
/cache ext2
It s laggin due to rfs file system in /system..

It used to be ext4
But I found my phone runs faster when system is rfs
And my main problem is the reboots..

anything in particular you do that causes this?
If i could re-produce this i could solve it..Else not.
For lags make sure to disable sensor aiding

you partitioned using CWM which creates ext3 partition not ext4..
So you need to re-part your partition using Minitool to ext4..
Then factory reset and select ext4 for data in Indroid FSC app

Its just the difference of filesystem

Hello.
Can I flash G3Mod Ultimate on /system ext2, /cache and /data rfs?
It says:
Convert filesystems to rfs before flashing kernel.

In the newest versions of G3Mod you can have all filesystems. So no need to revert back to rfs, you can just flash!
Happy flashing!
It was only for the early version. You can flash kernel at any file system you want.

Unfortunately, I converted to the RFS (by FuguMod), and now... What file system is best?

Now I'm using (and as I think almost everyone would tell you round here xD):
System (stl6) -> ext2
Data (stl7) -> ext4
Cache (stl8) -> ext2
And I'm having a great performance (no freezes, almost no lags...). But if you want to, you can try with all the combinations you want and see how it performs

With G3Mod Kernel, all you have to do is create a file named "fs.convert", put it in /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ and reboot
In fs.convert file you have to put:
Code:
stlX file_system_type
Where X is the partition number and file_system_type is, well, you know XD.
If you want to convert various partitions in a row, it should be like this:
Code:
stlX file_system_type
stlY file_system_type
stlZ file_system_type
Remember:
Code:
stl6 -> /system
stl7 -> /data
stl8 -> /cache
For example, let's say I want to convert /system to ext4. So i create the file and write this in it:
Code:
stl6 ext4
Reboot, and done
hadi_xman said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In terminal emulator (or adb shell), run the command "mount" and it will list all partition with it's respective format and mount options. Just look for the partitions you want to check

A Little problem!!
I flashed the kernel G3 mod Lite and installed the g3mod app by Dumpy and modified the file systems as said. After that I'm not able to see my partition. I was previously using Fugumod 2.4 beta3 and i had my sd card partitioned using Minitool. But now i can't see my partition even in Titanium BackUp. When changing file systems using g3mod app, i didn't change anything in mmcblk0. It was left as "rfs". Do i need to change it to something else? Thanks.
P.s. Do i need to activate data2sd?I didn't as I was already using App2sd by kyrillos and after this conversion i lost all my user apps. and my phone's free internal memory is now just 85MB. Previously it was 145MB.

How is your mmcblk0 rfs?? It should be ext3 or ext4.
Ah! It was not. I forgot to change it to ext3 or ext4. When using g3mod app i changed the file systems but left my mmcblk0 as rfs. Now I can't access my memory card using My files. And in "SD Card and Storage" menu it says "unavailable".Any suggestions? Would it work if i flashed g3 kernel and used the app again to change my mmcblk0 to ext3 or ext4?

Ya. Try to change SD partition to ext4 using the app. Still confused how did mmcblk0 became rfs?? . Try the app again and see if it works.

The app shows all partitions as rfs by default.. As he said he left mmcblk as it is and changed the others.. Hence the partition got converted to rfs
Quick Question.. If i'm using g3mod app, should i activate data2sd when i'm changing the file systems?

hi
i also have an olive pad & in a discussion in that forum i found out that if we use CWM to do to ext it does only ext2 & not ext4(see below link)
link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17028858&postcount=6
now my question is how to do we do EXT4part via CWM as i was told that we
need ext4 to be present on our SG3 for the apps2sd to work on the cooked roms
i do have the madteam apps apk can i use that
thanks in advance & sorry if this question was asked i could not find it

hi
thanks guys let me explain a little more on why this confusion
i also have a HTC tattoo on which i also have CWM
on the tattoo i have the option of converting ext2 to ext4 ie on the system CWM
we dont have the same and im not confy with the above mentioned tools. so will Madteam apps work for me
and again another reason for this confusion is that recently i have been having alot of problems with the cooked roms not working well and i feel maybe this is because of me having ext2 & the cooked roms need ext4.Do correct me if im wrong here

umm.. if u really want to use minitool or gparted.. then y takin so much pain to use cwm to partition.. partition ur sd directly to ext4..
FuguMod and G3MOD kernels are capable of converting file systems of sd-ext partition too
add this line to fs.convert and making the partition through cwm(and btw i think it makes ext3 partitions)
anyways here's the line
Code:
mmcblk0p2 ext4
hope it helps

IF you made a partiton,convert it to ext4-helps a lot (in other ways too because ext4 is far more better than ext2)
the partiton isnt needed for any cooked rom
it is just an addon so we can get more space for apps
If you can specify what kind of problems you are having and on which rom then i can help more
