My friend did a mistake and created ext4 part. for 4gigs that he doesn't really need using CWM.
How to make everything back as he wants to use all his 16gb card as usb mass storage on windows os?
you have to delete both partitions and make one in Mini Partition Tools

OK. I'll advise him this soft. Deleting/creating partitions is supposed to be performed using card reader or he can see ext-partition just connected his atrix via usb?
I am just surprised that there is no android app for such purposes ((
Someone should write it if it's practically possible)
Problem solved with Mini Partition Tool.
As I sad it would be nice to have any app to do it just on our devices.
if someone found anything pls post it here.
Thanx

I just created a ext3 partition for my sd and it got screwed the phone couldnt recognise it said it has corrupted. ended up formatting it through phone now my firmwares screwed cant mount sd, keeps rebooting and not able to use the notification bar (TRIPMIUI mod by cf) now im reflashing my FW throuugh SEUS. Lost all my contacts and messages. Can somebody tell me where did i go wrong to cause this landslide of BULL?
- formatting sd should go first Fat32 then the remaining space go to ext2/ext3..
- both should be formatted in primary. The phone need to read the fat32, those ext2/ext3 are for the system link which only work after the phone boot up normally.
- Full backup is always a good way to prevent any unwanted landslide of fire...
I have the same issue. Partitioned my SD card and my phone could not find it after. I also tried to resize my fat32 partition with data on it along with a ext3 partition to see if it would find my sd card but had no luck making it work.

If you want to start over, reformat your SD card with this:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
For some reason, some of the custom roms do not recognize the SD card after you've created partitions. Reformat and try again.
Even when I reformat my sd card the phone does not detect it. I believe that its because of my ext3 partition. seems like the phone reads the 2nd partition (ext3) as the main partition of the sd card.
Where does the android system determine which partition is the main one?
There must be some type of script that tells the system what partition to look for. Am I right?
If there is then maybe we could mod the script so it, always reads from a certain position first.
Anybody know anything about something like this?

Question posted multiple times before a search of XDA may find the solution .
jje
I formated it with first software that came up after the google search,
but the galaxy s 2 says that the file system is not supported...
is there anything else i need to do to make it work?
Plesae help me i couldnt find anything!
I really need help here guys, I bought the sdcard
for putting hd films on it, and splitting them is not an option
because I use subtitles from a file and they are not together
with the mkv file...
It went to like page 5
What i think you need is link2sd from the market and dual partition the sdcard.

Which ROM are you in? Maybe you're ROM can't mount SD Card as ext2. You could also try exFAT.
I'm using Checkrom Revolution v4...
Using another program to format it will work?

You can create multiple partitions on your external SD card formatted with ext2/3/4 or NTFS (together with Siyah kernel and ntfs-3g) or FAT32. Use your PC and a partition manager or fdisk/mkfs on your rooted phone.
But you have to mount the partitions manually or you need special support from the kernel (via ueventd). If you want to replace the external FAT32 partition completely with another filesystem for use with the ROM as media partition you need a compatible mount manager (vold daemon). The vold version 2 in stock ROMs only supports FAT32. I guess there is no difference with Checkrom Revolution. As far as I know only CM 7 has support for a (read only) NTFS partition and extX.
Changing a kernel would make it work on CheckRom Revolution?
if so, is there any recomended kernel?
I am wondering the same thing. I am using the stock Samsung kernel...

Few things, what format is the sd-card? Windows can only recognise FAT32, if its EXT Windows cannot detect it, only Linux can. Also if your SD is partitioned I think you need to have the FAT32 at the start followed by sd-ext and then swap if you have them otherwize windows will fail to read the first partition and therefore not find the rest. Also make sure all your drivers and stuff are up to date. Good luck and please thank as I'm still on 0 thanks as of writing this :/
Hello.
I've saw the reply for this question in other posts, but i got confused.
Well, i've a SanDisk 32GB SD card i'm using on my RAZR.
I would like to copy some files (videos) wich are over 4GB+ to the sdcard on my phone, so i can watch'em using the microhdmi output.
Well, it seems that android is recognizing only fat32 partitions, that have a size limitation.
If i try to format it to NTFS or EXT4 (using SafeStrap Partition command) i can't read it on the system.
Is there any piece of software i can use, or any trick to make the sdcard able to recive 4gb+ files ?
Thanks in advance [email protected]
