Until today i was using ext3 on my sdcard (single 8gb partition) with slade froyo v3. Then i formated the card to ext4 to se if it was supported. Unfortuly my phone didnt recognized it. So i just reformated back to ext3, but the phone doest regonize it (but until i formated the sdcard he never complained). So now im back to vfat partition. And i would like advices on how to make it acept the ext3 again

is it possible to use an ext2 formatted sd card in my a101 to overcome the 4gb file-size limit of fat32 filesystem? i tried but my a101 doesn't seem to recognize the sd card...
thanks!
Yes, this is possible since FW 2.1.0.4.
Which version are you using?
I'm using the latest firmware, 2.1.08, rooted with archangel. what I did was I put my 32 gb sdcard into my phone, connected it to my win7 notebook and formatted it to ext2 with partition manager. put it back into my a101 and it wasn't recognised. what am I doing wrong? I reformatted it back to fat32 with my a101 and it works again.
is there any difference performance wise between fat32 and ext2?
thanks!
Yes, when ext2 starts to work it is very slow.
Look into the Uruk Droid thread where he states that ext4 is alot better and faster.

yes, but do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong that ext2 doesn't work?? I would at least like to try it...
I have 2 problems with uruk and ext4:
1. I don' want to install sde and void the warranty
2. ext4 is a journaling filesystem and as such not very suitable for removable media, as I've heard. or does uruk support the non-journaling version of ext4?
thanks!
It is your Loss if you don't want to get the big benefits of Uruk.
In Most countries Archos will have some problem to claim that loss of warrenty when you for ex. have a broken usb port.
It will only be a problem if you friy your cpu by overclocking.
But it is your decision.
1. Ext2 + Ext3 ( which is journaling support ontop of ext2 ) are working since 2.1.03.
Is there at least any message Printed on Your 101 when you insert the card?
2. Journaling is only a problem if you constantly change the sd and forget to "safe remove" the card otherwise the speed outweights the problem that ext4 might have.
is it possible to use ext4 formatted sdcard in atrix?
i want to put file larger than 4gb in it..
i've tried formatting my sdcard using mkfs.ext4 but atrix doesnt recognize it..
Right this desire is starting to become a problem child to say the least -_-, installed gingerburst 1.0.0.3 pre rooted and S-OFF and suddenly it wont mount my sd card itll mount my 8gb one but not my 16gb one and i need the 16gb one. tried reformatting it in recovery and mounting it via tht but i dno if i did it wrong or something. need the sd card partitioned for data2sd so partition sizes and names and info wud be good, thx
in recorvery it also says under mounts and storage tht "mount /sdcard" so it doesnt mount it auto. i tried mounting it then rebooting but wont mount again. i found under advanced in recovery it has partition sd card i formated it n now ive partitioned it using this method biggest vales ext 4096mb so 4gb and w.e the highest one for the other one was. basicly i want this sd card to be partitioned for data2sd to work good desire has very low internal memory and gingerburst is the best sense rom i found
fixed: i re partitioned it in recovery under advanced after formatting it within recovery in mounts and storage then clicked mount within mounts of storage on the sd card then rebooted. need details for partitioning it now
on my sd card it has a linux swap file a fat32partition n an ext2 partition what partition has data2sd got to be? ext 4 3 2 1?
for sdcard u normally have vfat(fat32) filesystem, when using it as data also (data2sd) you should add any ext partition I would recommend ext4 however some roms might not support that (should be very old roms) so you can make it with ext3.
you can use Gparted or MiniTool Partition Wizard to repartition the sdcard. you can check what filesystem is your data partition using 'mount'.
note that you should have some vfat partition left if you want to use it as a normal sdcard.
So ran out of storage in /data partition, decided to create 2 partitions in my external SD and i created it using Gparted, one is ext4 and the other is fat32, now the phone refuses to mount the ext4 partition from Link2SD.
Looking at the vold.fstab file and sysfs paths(/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0) , it seems that our phone can mount only 2 (+1 otg) partitions ? (or is it just 2 sd cards ?)
is it even possible to mount the second partiton ?? (No /devices/platform/msm_sdcc )
I do know of the EMMC method, i don't like it ;p
A block for the second partiton is present in /dev/block,(mmcblk1p2) gonna mount and see what happens

hi, gowtham121
ROOT your phone first,
create 2 partitions as fat32 on sdcard
its work on my chd:fingers-crossed:
Hi
I have a c6802, default rom (last update 532) and a 64gb sandisk sdxc card. It works flawlessly if it is formatted exfat. I have tried to format it in ext4,3, and 2 in it is not recognized. Is there anyway to make it work in ext4 or another filesystem?????
EXT4 is supposed to be supported, if you make a "cat /proc/filesystems" ext4 is a supported filesystem in kernel, but os keep telling me SDcard is damaged try reformating it....
Sorry for my english, it's no my mother tongue....
Interested about Ext4 as well
