Hey guys, when i was backing up everything using cwm, it said that "no sd-ext found". Well i was a bit shocked because i already partitioned my sd card to 1gb before i made that backup. A lot of my apps were already in that partition ( i mean A LOT ). My question is
HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN?
Not all permanent cwm can mount sd-ext
for example hells fusion #50 kernel with permanent cwm cannot mount sd-ext but makes backups alot quicker than any other kernel with cwm
from memory those kernels with cwm that can backup sd-ext are
savies #2

I use a Galaxy 3 I5801, with DDJP2 stock and rooted.
I tried to apply kyrillos' new Honeycomb theme by flashing the zip file provided in the v5.0_Extra_package by renaming the file Honeycomb_theme-signed.zip to update.zip, and putting it in the sd card root folder.
But, in recovery mode, if i select SDCARD:update.zip option, it says :
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Any solution to this?
Note: I was using kyrillos rom v4.1 oc before this, and I had used Madteam app2sd to partition my 16GB sd card, with 1GB app2sd space.
Would that be causing this problem?

You need CWM recovery to flash update.zip files .. DDJP2 has stock samsung recovery .. Flash any of the custom roms with cwm and you will be able to flash update.zip .. If you don't wasn't to flash a custom rim ask mumbozver for his cwm installer and run it for your phone...
thanks for the reply!
oh and one more thing, how do i get back the 1GB partition I made using Madteam app2sd while using kyrillos rom? or can it still be made usable in the stock rom?

It can be made usable...flash any fugumod 2.4 kernel...then use lestatious Data2Sd...that shuld do the trick...
i just flashed fugumod 2.4 beta3!
ran mount in terminal emulator (after su ofcourse), i see that all partitions (data,cache,system,efs...) are rfs file system..
what partitions do i need to convert to ext2 or ext4?
and how do i see and use my 1GB partition mentioned above?
thanks in advance!

Convert system and cache to ext2...and data to ext4...then use data2sd enabler of lestatious..and reenable data2sd
I converted the partitions data ext4 and system and cache to ext2!
But when i use EASS partition manager, i cannot see the swap and data2sd partitions at all.. It just shows a single FAT32 partition of 13.04 gigs!
And when i used data2sd enabler, and tried to reenable data2sd, it says path not found!
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,
I recently made the jump to CM7.1 KANG Oct24th, with ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0. All seems to be working very well.
But then I tried to do a ClockworkMod backup, just like I've always done. It worked through all the partitions, until sd-ext. I then get the following error:
"Could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext" followed by the usual "Generating md5 sum..."
On another forum there was a mention that this error is normal. Does everyone get this error?
I think I created the SDCard partitions using ClockworkMod, so I have a 1024MB Ext4. It is my understanding that Ext4 is supported. It must be, as (I think) I used Clockwork to create the partition. I'm not certain about that, as I was also experimenting with GParted to create partitions. But had the same problem.
I am using Link2SD to move some apps to sd-card, so without sd-ext partition, the backup is incomplete!
Anyone seen this? Any ideas what might be wrong? Or how to fix it?
Thanks.
clockworkmod doesn't support ext4 on the blade. ext3 works.
Hate to resurrect an old thread but is this still the case I'm having the same problem?
Looks like I'm going back to 4EXT. After installing the latest touch version of Clockwork mod I got this message also during backup. This is fine if you have no problems on your next ROM but what if you have problem with the next ROM you chose. Doing a full wipe will include reformating EXT4 partition. That means since Clockwork mod didn't backup your EXT4 you have no way of getting all the files you want from your previous ROM. I also thought of changing my partition from EXT4 to EXT3 but besides the fact that I will have to move all my files to my PC then transfer again I read somewhere that EXT3 is not as efficient as EXT4.

My version of CWM touch (the only one touch version there is afaik) does support ext4, both 6.0.1.1 stable and 6.0.1.2 experimental.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835279
You might have been using my older testing version which had a problem with some ext4 partitions (notably ext4 partitions with special attributes).

Sorry I didn't notice the device name. I'm using HTC Desire. My latest version of HTC Desire doesn't support EXT4 anyways. It's Off-Topic here. NVM. Thanks.
Hi im on cod rom usin merruk kernel and trying to partition my sd card using the built in cwm. Usually if i use the partition sd card on temporary cwm it takes a while to complete but in the built in cwm in merruk kernel it is fast and does not partition my sd card at all. Btw im using mt kernel dev edition 7

mount storage before partition.
there is a alternate using mini tool partition

I'm also facing same problem
=========================================
Galaxy Y users Click here for 1.2Ghz and 1Gb internel
Morning all,
I'm having the usual issues with internal space on my (rooted) s5360. I have tried:
Foldermount - won't work because /data/data isn't seen.as being on the internal SD card?!?
Link2sd - works on a fat/fat sd card only, then after reboot says "invalid argument" and won't mount. I've used Easus, Minitool and CWM to partition, but to no avail.
Directorybind - doesn't see any folders in /data
Are there any other ways to move / symlink monster apps like games and facebook to my SD?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
With link2sd you need a kernel that can support ext4 partitions
steps to follow if on stock based rom
flash hells fusion #50 kernel
copy contents of sd card to pc
goto recovery mode on phone
in cwm partition sd card with at least 1024mb ext partition
swap is not required
restart phone
open link2sd
create mount script as ext4
Restart
Open link2sd & check 2nd partition now shows
copy everything back to sd card
restart
Having had to restore with Odin after messing about with kernels / roms (I need to run stock rom to avoid phone nework cutoff) I'm not keen on this approach.
I can't see why l2sd would work after a reboot with ext4 when it won't with fat.
Is there no other app that can be used as an alternative?
What about manually creating symlinks?

Because it needs kernel support
you won't have any problems running stock rom with hells fusion #50 kernel as long as you are not using DDMD1 baseband as that requires a different ramdisk
Install REPENCIES ROM PLUS REPENCIES KERNAL it has all support u need.
U cank also use darktremer app2sd . Its much better then link2sd & can transfer delvink also to sd.
Seach xda you will find everything
Thank you for helping me
