How to mount sd-ext?

How do we use sd-ext?
Can someone please help?
I found this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184767
Any changes from what it says?
Can we use the 'Partition SD card' option from recovery to format to ext4?
If we can't, then what is that option used for?
Can anyone give me a link or write up a guide that explains how sd-ext should work?
1) bacukp data
2) bootmenu--> tools -->file system--> format data end cache in ext4
3)Restore data backup

You have to format data and then change system partition to ext4 and now you can flash the rom again.

Ext4 is better than f2fs and also you have to first format again and then clean flash is required.

F2fs has better writing speed. Then I may help to install the apps faster.. right?

While faster, you may find yourself with compatibility issues in regard to your preferred ROM, etc.
Sticking with ext4 (for now) is simply the better option at the moment because it ensures that your reliability and compatibility. Also, there are apparently some issues with f2fs when it comes to device encryption.
Therefore: just wait. Maybe in the future f2fs will be the better option. As for now: I don't think that with an OP5 you need to worry about the installation time of apps taking too long.

error 1 when try to f2fs data .. any help

cache f2fs works on most tpwr but im not able to convert data to f2fs
always error 1
any working f2fs tpwr link?
iwant both data and cache to f2fs
i think is a problem with mkfs.f2fs.. simply if one is able to fix is really appreciate
Here your are, this is what I'm using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/twrp-multirom-vanilla-mod-t3571543
yes, this twrp works but first you must do a backup, copy the backup to your pc or otg drive, convert the data partition to f2fs and after that tick use -rm instead format in options and restore your data backup.

DATA partition is on F2FS by default?

I've unlocked my new MI9T to install xiaomi.eu rom.
First of all, after unlock, i've installed the official TWRP and i've formatted (not wiped) the DATA partition.
I've noticed that TWRP logged that it was formatting the DATA partition with mkfs.f2fs ...... really strange...
So, i've rebooted to TWRP and changed the DATA partition type to EXT4 and formatted it... after a reboot i've tried to format it again and it was formatted again in F2FS (like F2FS was the default selection).
So i've tried to switch to OrangeFox recovery (i suspected a bug in TWRP)... but the same behaviour...seems that F2FS is the default partition type for my DATA partition.
I've installed the xiaomi.eu (the kernel in this rom is the official one, and i dont think that it supports F2FS) and the rom boot ok, without problems.
I've tried also to force ext4 on DATA, but with this partition type the rom never boot (it remains on the android bootanimation).
So right now, i see a f2fs partition type on my data partition, with original kernel.
I've tried also to change the cache partition to f2fs (by default this partition is formatted in ext4) but in this way, the rom boots, but i can't see the cache partition, seems that effectively the kernel can't mount the cache partition.
so i've unpacked the official miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM_5001481fbb_10.0 rom, and i've found that in the vendor partition, under (vendor)/etc/fstab.qcom there is this entry for DATA partition:
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data [B]f2fs [/B]noatime,nosuid,nodev,nodiscard,fsync_mode=nobarrier,reserve_root=32768,resgid=1065 wait,check,fileencryption=ice,wrappedkey,quota,reservedsize=128M,latemount
So, this phone uses by default a F2FS partition type for DATA????

Yes - stock QFJEUXM 11.0.4, never formatted (or wiped) Data, see screenshot from /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
