So now that the sgs II is out what did samsung use? rfs again?
I don't think it matters much, no one has complained of the performance.

Use S2E if you are using CM7. You must create an ext3 partition for S2E to work. Download it from the market.

Either use gparted (desktop linux app), or clockworkmod. Set swap to 0 if you use clockwork. The ext partition must be the first partition, if you use gparted.
Make sure youre using CM7, not all roms support an sd-ext partition.

Every guide/source I've ever seen says you must put the fat32 partition first, followed by ext partition, and optionally followed by swap partition. I've never bothered trying it any other way but you're definitely wrong about having to put the ext partition first. It might work in either order.
Also just about any of the custom ROMs on this site will support an ext partition, but S2E specifically only works on CM7.
yer thanks all ive done it know i used a partition wizard that deals with linux stuff and work i know have the ext3 at 500mb.
and im using CM7.1 RC
thanks all
Does restoring the backup from cwm convert your ext4 partion to ext3 partion? Caus I guess mine just did that.... Any solutions?

How did you partition your SD card? What program did you use, what type of partition is it, and how is it formatted?

I have used clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.7 I guess I have partitioned my sdcard i.e. 512mb ext

I believe CWM defaults to ext4. If you didn't make any other partitions, then your SD card partition structure should be as follows now:
/mnt/sdcard, FAT, primary
/sdext, ext4, primary
Try using link2sd's menu to recreate mount scripts, & choose ext4. Also, make sure you're still rooted properly, and still have expected su access.

I recollect facing the same problem.I guess the problem isn't with link2sd its got to to do with the fact that the stock kernel doesn't support ext partition try flashing a custom kernel that supports ext partition.

Ah, good catch! I didn't notice that.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you can format the 2nd partition as FAT, and link2sd has the option to mount that the same way as others.

I can't flash kernels now!!! Which one suits stock better!! Or modified stock kernel!!!
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I don't understand. Do you want to keep stock, or flash a custom ROM? If all you want is to use link2sd, you shouldn't need to flash anything.

Backup your sd card on PC.
Do factory reset
Re partition ur sd card in cwm
Start phone & install link2sd before any other application
Use ext4
If ur kernel doesnt support ext 4
Partition ur card on PC using some partitioning software. use ext2 in this case. And try link2 sd now
Pls let me know if this helps

I want the solution for flashing new nightlie each time...

I'm new the the forum so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I scoured the forums and Google for an answer to this to no avail. I used MiniTool Partition and I followed your guide on how to partition your SD card. I reflashed AOKP hoping it would do something but it didn't. When I go into Titanium Backup it has my partition listed. On the place where I got AOKP from, it says you cannot use any 2SD app (App2sd, link2sd etc) because Quattrimus will supposedly automatically realise your partition. How can I use my partition when the only way people say I can is via using a 2sd app? Thanks for your time and help.
Try using cwm recovery to partition sdcard

So it my ext2 memory should be added to my total internal memory?
For the most part I would think so...an ext is an imaginary portion of a sdcard....ext2,3 and 4 could better be explained by Wikipedia or any Google search....if you want to partition a sdcard,use a custom recovery ie..clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7 or amonra 3.0.6, cwm partitions to ext4 by default while amonra partitions to ext2 by default but has options to upgrade to ext3 than ext4 in the recovery context menu....you can use a windows program to partition as well but your sdcard probably came preconfigured to NTFS and you need partition to FAT32

Install ClockworkMod and partition SD Card you will find the tutorials here also.
ext2/ext3/ext4 is a File System type and its a logical partition created in your SD card which is used and extension of your internal memory. Initially this File System is used in Linux since android is developed based on Linux so it uses the same file system.
For more information about partitions you can google.
