[Q] Mounting a third partition for use with Link2SD

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

[Q] formating sdcard

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

Properly formatting SD for Marshmallow

Hello,
OEM's rom doesn't handle ext4 for external storage and asks for reformatting to exfat, telling it is "corrupted".
Manually creating an exfat first partition and a second ext4 partition doesn't work to vold mount the partitions, but mounting manually works for using the filesystem, yet the system aggressively asks me to format the whole storage.
How should I proceed to format "correctly" my sdcard to make vold stop ask me to format, yet keeping a whole storage ext4 partition, or a small exfat partition and a big ext4 partition.
On device tools that touches /system are outright banned as it will break safetynet stuff. (But root is available)
