You can only do one partition to ext... one to fat and one to ext the other one if you want .. do for swap but the phone only recognize one ext partition only

But you can mount additional partitions from terminal. Just run:
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0pX /mount/point
Replace X with you partition number.
I have 3 partitions because one is for data I mean the default sdcard using FAT. The second one is ext2 I use it to move apps there. The third partition is ext2 and I want it to use it to install Debian or Ubuntu.
But my system only mount the first two partitions and I would like to mount permanently the third partition too.

Read dragonnn's post above u. Create a startup script in init.d to mount the partition. Android is based on Linux, and same as linux it doesnt matter if u had thousand partition. What matter is correct command to mount the partition (in this case the init.d startup script) and u good to go.

Hello,
i am using coder rom v1 with a2sd enabled.i have first created a 500 mb ext2 primary partition and then created a FAT32 primary partition with the rest of the space.I flashed coderom then enabled darktremor a2sd.Inside the phone i can use both the partitions.When i try to connect the phone using the usb mode FAT32 partition is not mounting and is showing only format disk command since the only parition detected is ext2.Also inside the recovery of the phone when trying to execute apply update from sdcard i am unable to list the sdcard contents.please help me....
You must create the fat32 partition first before ext2 or ext4.
That way your pc can detect the fat32.

Thats the problem when using darktremore a2sd with first partition as ext2/3/4, ur windows pc wouldnt detect it and recovery cannot mount it. My advice, use codenexus because it uses a2sd on second partition

hey is there anyway to make it bigger i have moved all my apps to the sd card
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
Hi.
I use link 2sd
Bt can't see my second partition of my sd.
And link2sd say not mount ur sd ext. So how to mount sd ext
Any one help me. . Step by step.. Plz..

Link2SD:
What is needed:
- Root Permission
- The second partition on the SD Card, and both MUST PRIMARY
The first partition is the default storage of data on the SDcard. The second partition (which will be created) is a partition for storage applications for Link2sd.
download "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" on the PC, then plug the sdcard in the PC (u can directly use the phone, or card reader). by using this program, agan no need to format, partition, or delete data in the beginning, to create a new partition.
Install and open minitool, select the drive which will be partitioned sdcard, select resize the unallocated area. for PRIMARY, NOT logical. Free partition size is up. klo above 2GB FAT32 file system should pake. FAT32 support is generally on all phones. APPLY, and then turn on the phone.
(for more secure data back up anyway in the SD Card)
- Install Link2sd, have mounted, select FAT32, restart again and Tada!! Applications can be moved to SD, ga who need to use complicated script
Good luck. and must have successfully ...
Well,after partitioning it,connect it to a pc and open mini tool partition wizard.If it shows that you have a sd-ext partition,then theres a partition in your sd,no doubt.If Link2SD still shows that it cant mount sd-ext,then you are a victim of that bug.I get the same error when i try to use link2sd too.Use S2E instead
Ok i will try..

If you are using cm7,then use S2E.Its better,otherwise,you need to flash DTA2SD...

i used mini tool to create ext partition and swap partition swapper2 has linked to my swap partition but link2sd wont mount the ext partotion. ive reformated it with all the formats but none of them work and ive tried to mount sdext in cwm mounts & storage but it says error mounting sdext aswell. im out of ideas
just double check n make sure all ur partition is in primary partition
In mini tool partition,
First create the main storage
second should be ext
Third is swap
U partitioned like above bro?

yep, but i dont creat swap partition coz i dont use it. but make sure fisrt partition (fat) n second parttion (ext) both are primary not extended or logical partition.
just to make sure if u dont have any importand files in ur fat partition or maybe back it up first then re partition all over again n choose primary not logical

what you need to do it first backup all your data on your system.. then format the memory card(check to make it fat32)... then create the partation..copy back your data to memory card back again... hope this will work for you
