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

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:
My 16 gb sand disk sd card is not formatting....I tried sd formatter and Mini Partition Tool but during formatting the sd card unmount automatically from PC and Now the card is in raw form.
HTC Pico also not detected the card due to Raw Form
I searched a lot and at last found that I have to change my sd card......But still a hope because it shows raw form.......
I just want to change ext2 partition to ext3 so I format my ext2 partition to ext3 by Mini partition tool and then my sd data partition did not copy,move and delete any thing so I format it but it goes into raw form instead of fat32.....
ANy Help Guys.
Waiting for reply...
Hi guys,
I want my Venue 7 support NTFS or EXT4 file system so I could download game matches (videos) larger than 4GB.
I found apps like Paragon NTFS/HFS+ but it doesn't work on my tablet even if I have it rooted and granted this app superuser assess. When a 32GB NTFS SD card is inserted, this app simply tell me no NTFS/HFS+ partition found and the OS warned me that a blank SD card is detected or unsupported file system detected and want me to perform format/erase. After formatting the SD card was with FAT32 file system and that's not I want. Sarcastically this app works on my low end Samsung phone and that phone could read 32GB SD card with NTFS format with the help of this app. So as the same for EXT4 file system
So my problem is: could anyone get a SD card with NTFS/EXT4 file system works on this tablet. I wanna download World Cup matches cuz I work while the game is going on Thanks for anyone's help.

I have checked and I have bad news for you:
1. The tablet has built-in support in kernel for following filesystems:
Code:
ext2
ext3
ext4
vfat
msdos
fuseblk
So and NFTS, exFAT are out of question, unless we add the support through fuse (ntfs-3g?) or as a module (it would require current kernel source which I am not sure we have).
Also, when I format the first partition of an SD-card to EXT3/4 which it supports, the card is not be mounted, even with permissions for anybody to write set.
You could of course create a second partition, use some tool like to mount it automatically and another to map the directory to an actual directory on SD-card, but that would still require root and would be complicated.
In short, the answer is no, it is not possible right now.
