I have Clockworkmod 5.5.0.4 installed using Indirect's installer. When I choose the option for "wipe data/factory reset" the /data and /cache partitions are formatted fine, but I get the following error on the /sd-ext:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
The very next item the system tries to format is /sdcard/.android_secure, with the following error:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
I'm guessing the .android_secure error is related to the /sd-ext error, but not sure how to fix either?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't find anything about this using Google, but XDA's search and juggling the search terms led me to this post indicating it is normal. No need to reply unless it is in fact not normal. Thanks.

hey, I installed the CM7 today by using the clockworkmod 0.8 (I used the VEgan 5.11 before )
I wipe cache partition, wipe data, wipe, wipe Dalvik Cache
but when I wipe Dalvik Cache, there is a error: can't mount dev/block/mmcblk0p2
anyway, I install the CM7 successfully... but I am a little worried about that erro...
so why this error appear? what is that mean?
do I need to fix this error and then reinstall the CM7?
sorry for so much naive question! thanks!
savage0,
I've read two or three explanations for why that
error comes up -- but I really don't know why.
I do know that a pile of folks have been getting
that message almost since the G-Tablet came
out and I have never heard of it meaning anything
significant -- or anyone having problems as a
result.
Forget it is my advice.

Exactly. Had that issue since my first flash and nothing fixes it. On the good side, like the Rev says, it has no known meaning or consequence.

The correct error message actually is:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p2
(File exists)
As butchconner said, it's a harmless error message. It just means that
a) You don't have an external SD card in the SD card slot, or
b) If you do have one, it does not have a second partition on it. Most likely, you have a SD card with a single VFAT partition.
When you select the "Wipe Dalvik Cache" option, CWM does, basically, this:
1. Mounts the /data partition. This, on the gTablet, is the second partition (Linux ext3 type) on the internal SD card, /dev/block/mmcblk3.
2. Mounts the /sd-ext partition. This is the second partition (generally of Linux ext3 type) on the external SD card, /dev/block/mmcblk2.
3. Mounts the /cache partition. This is a yaffs2 filesystem (on /dev/block/mtdblock4) on the in-built NAND flash chip.
4. Prints a "Confirm wipe?" message and a "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache" menu.
5. Removes the entire /data/dalvik-cache directory tree.
6. Removes the entire /cache/dalvik-cache directory tree.
7. Removes the entire /sd-ext/dalvik-cache directory tree.
The error message you noticed comes at step 2 because there is no external SD card, or, the external SD card does not have 2 partitions on it.
The second line, "(File exists)", is the left-over result of a mkdir() system call used to create the mount-point directory which already exists.
If you can read C code and wish to look at this further, look at the show_advanced_menu() function here:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/gingerbread/extendedcommands.c
The link is for a newer version of CWM, so the error message is different.
Cheers!
- I follow the instruction in this thread "Repartition media and data partitions on Nook Tablet"
-Then, i boot in CWM recovery, install rom from zip file, this rom
-When it done, i choose Wipe data/factory resest, it show:
Wiping data...
formatting /data...
formatting /cache...
formatting /sd-ext...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure...
data wipe complete
-then I reboot system, NT always boot in CWM (with or without SD card)
-cause everything seem normal, but this line: E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2, do I have any chance to fix it?
Thanks all!
It is normal don't worry we all have and it doesn't harm your device

Thanks you.
But it keep running CWM again and again after I installed roms. (I mean I stuck in CWM boot forever).

Hello Guys i have the Same Problem and i'm stick in Recovery Please anyone help me
it's a long shot, but do you still have the bootable sd card in? take that out and it should boot.
Has this been resolved?

I am having the same issue and cannot get my nook to get beyond the CWM screen. The question: Has a solution to this been identified?
Thanks.
When you boot into recovery try wiping data to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then install the ROM from the SD card afterwards.
Sent from my NookTablet with CM10.1
when flashing roms, and doing WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET option in clockworkmod v4 or v5 it gives a error E:format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
what is this? It looks like it still wipes data though, also it gives similar error when you go to mount and storage menu and choose the format /sd-ext option ..... looks like the sd-ext is messed up....
how can I solve this???
You need to format your SD card using CWM. It is missing the second (EXT) partition...
if u format u lose everything
the mount things isnt a prob
can anyone help me?

Hello, im trying to fix my friends galaxy player 4.0, its the YP-G1CWY/XAA US 8 gig. The problem is when you turn it on the samsung logo comes up and plays the little animation over and over again. I did some looking and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472897 and did everything it said. However i had to get the .tar.MD5 file from a different post cause the link in the tutorial was down. So after trying it there was no change so i tried the Odin method from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 witch is also where i got the .tar.MD5 file from. After trying this one there is still no change. Not sure if this helps but after Odin is done and it goes to Android system recovery i get the following,
-- Copying media files... E:failed to mount /sdcard (file exists) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions Media files copy failed. -- Wiping data... Formatting /data... E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 Formatting /dbdata... Formatting /cache... Deleting Meta Data Data wipe failed. -- Applying Multi-CSC... Successfully applied multi-CSC.
and when i do wipe data/factory reset i get this.
-- Wiping data... Formatting /data... E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 Formatting /dbdata... Deleting Meta Data Formatting /cache... Data wipe complete.
Then i wipe cache partition and i get this.
-- Wiping cache... Formatting /cache... Cache wipe complete
I've only tried Odin method so far. Anyone have some insight on how to fix it??
