Well I searched around and didn't find any concrete answer (different threads, different answers).
I heard that converting your internal filesystem from rfs to ext4 will make the Ace faster, is this true?
If true, how do I convert to ext4 without breaking anything since I don't want to reflash.
I am currently running Grif's CM7.1 with TurboBoost 8.5 and SlaidfastMod.
depend/on the sdcard class
slow sdcard slow performance
fast sdcard fast performance
how to its easy
use gparted to do it

if you are running cyanogenmod then 99.99% chances are that its ext4 only
CM7 AFAIK already use ext4 filesystem.
Type mount in android terminal emulator. to find out filesystem type.
Is that so? Is there a way to check if it's ext4?

Hi! I just want to know what is the EXT4 that is saying in most of the ROMS like "homebase", "Aura" and etc.? And what is the EXT4 CONVERTER With fauxs kernel that is in the homebase additional downloads? Does the ROM that you choose automatically convert your filesystem to EXT4? thanks

You have three questions lets make them numerical..
1.) http://bit.ly/rjxoTd
2.) converts filesystem to ext4
3.) no. unless it says it does, then yes.
Is there any way to disable journaling on ext4 file system?I have seen some flashable zips in galaxy ace's thread,but it doesnt seem to work.Anyone please.
You can, I haven't tried it though. Create a script with the following commands. (Got from knzo's tweaks thread)
Code:
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Chuck it in the rom's init.d folder, and give appropriate permissions.
if u use the ext partition i'm assuming that u use something like a2sd or link2sd.
without journaling a bad reboot (eg. due to low battery) may results into not booting phone. A not clean partition cannot be mounted (bad sector) and device can miss some foundamental apps.

Afaik,journaling is helpful only for hard drives and not sd cards.Also journaling cause a lot of read/write cycles which slows system slightly and also decreases sd card life.
how to give permission anyway?
So, what is the difference between ext4 without journaling and ext2. :-/

Ext4 without journaling is even faster than ext2.
And you think you will have a performance boost on a low end device like Oo? :-B
But you can use Ext4 ... what formats are supported?

Questions go to the Q&A ..
I gave it a try of formatting the external microsd to ext3/4 but it appears that vold on the stock rom (and roms based on it) does not support ext4
If you neext ext3/4 support on the microSD you will need to use a CM9 based rom
Hi,
im using CM10. How did you do that and are there any restrictions???
How do we format our cards to ext4?

It seems that auto mount its not implemented for ext file system on android. At least I discovered that on my tablet when I tried to copy files on an ext3 hard drive. It's a shame as ext is the default filesystem for android...
I had to mount it manually. There are guides on the net. It's the classical mount Linux command. To automate it you should add a script in init.d folder. There must be examples on the net too.

They are Linux file systems. You can find a lot of info on them. Here's a starting point.

For the purposes of small systems like the Atrix, not much gain for ext4. Ext4 gives you some additional features that make sense for larger files (GB), something more than the 300-800MB partitions on the Atrix.
It's kind of like the comparison between FAT32 and NTFS. Both are old and crappy, but still in use due to legacy.
Cheers!
How do i use ext2 partition on native ap2sd? i used to have link2sd but i heard native is better so i made an ext2 partition anyone know how to set it? minicm7 2.2.1
EXT2 is not supported with this ROM, must create EXT3 or EXT4.
I was tested EXT2 + link2SD but that didnt work. Tested FAT32 + link2sd = same fail.
If you create EXT3/EXT4 it could be auto-mounted, but some bugs could appear...
I recomended to not use EXT, just that SWAP you created. If you use native "move to card", they will be stored on mmc too, but will be visible in some "xxx-secure" folder (not stored in ext part.) - I spent almost whole day to recover all files after testing SWAP and EXT3 (both auto-mounted via minicm) - dont do the same mistake

you should change ext2 to ext3 or ext4, but i think he is saying: get rid of the ext-partition and just keep fat for app2sd/link2sd, and keep swap.
You must format the ext2 to ext3 or EXT4. There is a command for this built into minicm and I think it's something like a2sd format in terminal. Or you can use something like gparted from linux

made ext3 how do i activate it?
EXT3 is automatically mounted by ROM, so you dont have to enable it.
You can just choose if you want to use NONE / A2SD / DC2SD mode in cyanogenmod settings.
