Mount Sd-EXT

I want to install Ap2sd Script on Galaxy Duos.
I tried Mount2SD and Darktremor Ap2sd.
But both failed.
Due to can't mount the Sd-ext.
I can sure that mmc has ext2 partition as primary.
Also i tried to mount the sd-ext manually.
But failed.
I used this cmd
busybox mount -o noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
Can anyone help me to mount?

[Q] P-3100 Tab 2 : ext3 mount fails with 'invalid argument'

I am running rooted ICS 4.0.4 on P-3100 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
while trying to mount ext3 parition on SD card, (mount -t ext3 /dev/dev/vold/XXX /mnt/extSdCard)
it fails with "invalid argument". /proc/filesystems has ext3 in the output so I believe kernel has the support.
Any workaround?

[Q] /emmc/ wont mount in CWM after encryption

CM10 recent install from CM9, which was Encrypted for work email.
Read that you can just format the partition and it will install new roms fine.
Within CM10 I can see /ExtSDCard/ and but /SDCard/ aka /emmc/ in CWM wont mount.
Going further down into CWM, emmc wont mount so it looks like it has installed the rom fine as it boots without a physical SD Card inserted? When trying to mount /emmc/ the log shows the following error "Failed to mount /dev/block.mmcblk0p11" which I assume is related.
I would like to mount and format the previously encrypted internal storage, so It could be used as /sdcard/ in CM10 so apps like Camera would work.
Thanks
Edit: Fixed English
Edit: Ok so I have worked out its /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 - cant format it ext4 then mount it using "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /emmc" but all the 'scheduled' tasks still think its vfat, so as a work around ill just format it as vfat.
This should be easy.... right?
busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Error:
mkfs.vfat: lseek: Value too large for defined data type
Ugh. Help me format this as vfat please
Fixed!:
Had to push a new version of busybox, which allowed vfat over 1gb.
Thanks me!

[Q] Link2SD:2nd partition shown but still not working

I tried to install Link2SD in Micromax A58 as the internal storage is very low and need to install some more apps. Already rooted and installed Link2SD to use the ext4 2nd partition of my 8 GB SD card. After trying with all possible ways, couldn't get it worked. All the time it was showing error--
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
Previously even the 2nd partition was not shown as mounted in the storage info of Link2SD but after modifying the install-recovery.sh in /etc path, the storage info now atleast showing the 2nd partition as mounted. My install-recovery.sh looks like below--
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
Now, the problems are as below--
1) Installed multiple applications but none of them are actually linked to SDcard. The Link2SD shows them as 'On SD Card' and just after installing 9-10 small applications, the internal memory is now full. If I go to 'Create Link', it is giving error '/data/sdext2 mount not found'.
2) When try to recreate mount script and choosing 'ext4' as parameter, it still throws error
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
It seems that even though the storage info shows the 2nd partition as mounted, but system couldn't identify it somehow. So, Link2Sd is not working at all.
Please help and advice further. Thanks a lot.
