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 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..
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
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
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)
