You can make Ext2 or Ext3 in Recovery (There work for A2SD). Unfortunately, ClockworkMod doesn't support Ext4 yet, but you can make an Ext4 partition in Ubuntu if you happen to be running it. Hope this helps

@HCDR.Jacob,
hey there, sorry i'm a noob but can you show me how to create atleast an ext3 in clockworkmod or ROM manager? i've been at it for sometime and i do think i've formatted my sd card with ext partition but when i install apps from market or appbrain it still uses the phone memory. any ideas where I go wrong?

[Q] Help with update.zip

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!

[Q] Create EXT4 partition on HD2 SD card

I don't exactly know how to create it. I already have an EXT3 partition that I created with CWM recovery. Can I convert that to EXT4 somehow or do I do something else? If I can convert it, please tell me how. Thanks in advance!

Cwm will only create in ext 3 format for ext 4 use an sd card partitioner on your pc ..... I have 2vb partition made with Cwm AMD it works beautifully for all roms.... May I ask why you need ext4 partition

Thanks for the response, but what exactly is that? Can I use a flashable zip to convert ext3 to ext4 instead? If so, can I have the link to the flashable zip? I need ext4 because of Sense 3.5 ROMs.... they give better performance.

It's not a zip I meant take it sd card put it in your computer and use a program to partition sd cards to do ext4 because you can only do ext 3 on your phone through Cwm not ext4

Which program should I use? I don't think Minitool does it and I couldn't find "2vb partition CWM AMD". Are there any others?

[Q] Link2SD 2nd partition error?

I've created a 2nd partition on my 32GB micro SD card so that I can use Link2SD and create symbolic links. I created the partition as Ext2 (Primary), but I am receiving a Mount script error. 'Mount script cannot be created. Ext2 may not be supported on your device'.
I have a Galaxy S4 (rooted) with stock rom.
Does anyone know why I'm getting this error and what I can possibly do to resolve this? I'd really appreciate some help with this.

Link2SD mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: No such device

Hello. I install CM7 with this guide on wiki cyanogenmod org (Install_CM_for_jordan)
I create 2 primary partition on my sd card: FAT32 10GB and Ext4 5GB
I have fresh installation, connect WiFi, google account and I install Link2SD.
Then i Try (re)create mount script in Link2SD(Plus) I got following error:
Mount script error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: No such device
I don't know how to fix it. I searched on forums but I can't understand. Can you help me fix it step by step?
I really need Link2SD. I used it on my previous phone and work great.
How I should fix this?

Hi,
I think your header tells it all.
/data/sdext2 failed: No such device. You formatted your sd card with ext4 but link2sd is looking for ext2.
Have your tried to format the 2nd partition of your sd with ext2?
In my point of view 5GB for the link2sd partition is too much. 1 GB should be sufficient.
Regards, Gazorbeam

Hello guys, I have the same problem. Thanks Gazorbem for your advice, but app itself asks about the system that it will search for (user can indicate whether it is ext2 or ext4 etc.) I tried all options available (although I know that my partition is in format ext3) but problem still remains - app still can't mount this partition
