hi everyone
sorry if this is a stupid question but is it possible to use the ext4 format on a sdcard on cm7.2?
btw: i have already used the searchengine and found nothing...

Its possible but not advisable to use a journalled file system on sdcards / usb sticks and their like.

Hmm.... could he mean creating an ext4 partition and if its compatible with CM7? That was my first interpretation of the question.

Oh, I didn't see him mention Cm7 ! But my reply still stands
yes its imposimble
No, its possible, you would need to write a script which automounts the ext4 partition at boot as vold won't do that and fixes permissions, as you would get lots of fcs without.

Yes it is possible. U need to install data2sd (flash from cwm/any custom recovery) or link2sd available in android market.
Search for link2sd and data2sd in google or here in xda.

i think he talks about formatting the whole sdcard with ext4 and mount that partition as sdcard for performance purposes. Correct me if i'm wrong, but thats how i understood that post. I actually tried the same a few months ago, there really seems to be increased perfomance of the sdcard and using fat32 on a linux devices doesn't make too much sense for me anyways.

yes thats my question...
I always try and use ext4 in my sd cards. Performance seems to be better. The only reason I ever use FAT32 is so that I can view content in Windows.
No sir. U have to use a partitioning tool to format your SD vard. I am a noob. Learned this technique in xda. It's called a "minitool partition wizard home edition". U can create different number of formats all primary though. I used ext4 for a long time. But now I use ext2. The computer only recognises the first primary partition. So the ext2/4 will not be recognised by the pc and with the help of link2sd or data2sd U'll be able to use it as your internal memory if your phone memory is really tiny. It's related to performance but first its related to expanding your internal memory.

Ok im still new with Android. I rooted my att aria. this is my rom version below. Ive been reading up a bit on how to use an SD card to install apps to instead of internal memory. I dont want to use it all up i hear that your phone can crash etc.
But not sure if my rom supports Using an external SD instead of internal memory. I have the app: "Rom Manager" which has those options to do with the external.
Just wondering what Roms for the aria support this . Ive seen alot of tutorials and not one of them are the same as the other. so wondering where the best spot for a tutorial would be for the "Aria"
Thanks

That ROM has DT A2SD support, so all that you need to do is create an EXT partition on the SD card using ROM Manager and you should be good to do.
Great thanks. I hear talk that ext 2 is better than 3, an others say it the otherway around... so does it REALLY matter?

ext2 is supposed to be easier on your SD card. ext3 uses journaling, which is said to wear down your sd card faster than normal. Not sure how much faster, or if it even has any affect on todays SD cards.
What the journaling does is it writes to the sd card on the fly so if the phone has an unexpected crash/shutdown, you have a better chance of everything on the ext being saved and less chance of any data loss/corruption. Ext2 doesnt have this protection. When I was running ext2 i never once had any problem with data loss/corruption. Rom Manager now does ext3 by default so I upgraded to ext3. If i could get ext4 support on cm7 I would upgrade to ext4.
Performance wise, there is no difference between ext2 and ext3. Ext4 however supposedly offers a performance increase. Ive not used ext4 on an sd card so I cant speak to that.

maybe its s2e then. I know s2e can mount my ext3 as ext4, but if I actually format to ext4 it wont mount. I thought the problem was with cm7, but I guess it must be s2e just doesnt support it.

I think that's the mount as ext4 option, which mounts the ext3 as ext4 without journaling. I just started using it a couple days ago and I haven't noticed any concernable diffrence though. Maybe ill try formatting to ext4 again and see if s2e takes it now.

Open up the Terminal Emulator program. Grant it root access when the Super User prompt comes up.
At the # prompt, enter:
a2sd status
It will then print out the status of the a2sd application.
Ok i got it working.. but now alot of my apps dont work. and also neither does the Android market...

once i flash it in recovery mod how do ya access the dtapps2sd then?
That was the problem,, all is transfered now.
Thanks a bunch.
If you downloaded with the xda app it will be in tapatalk downloads. If you downloaded through your browser its in the plain download folder.fr008 comes with astro you can use it to move the file to your SD root if you like but you can browse folders while in recovery also

Hi All,
I have asked this question a few days back and now i got a solution for this so posting the details here.
So here are tips and tricks on how to partition your SDCARD and still get it detected by the Phone.
Ohk so first off all credits
this method is not my own i have got tips from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11687387&postcount=6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811548 <- check the first post right after the quoted portion. That also suggest that last partition is used by froyo.
Based on this i started on the experiments and this is what i found.
Note : I have 3 partition right now.
500 MB = vfat first partition
1.5 GB = ext2 - kept for linux dualbooting experiments
5.4 GB = vfat second partition.
Based on my experiments this is what i can see.
first and last partition should be vfat.
first partition is available in recovery mode.
last partition is detected by froyo.
So if you want to use multiple partition then you need to make sure of keeping the following things in mind..
Note to MOD : Mod i thought this is related to DEV hence posted in this if this sounds more like a Q&A or other forum material please move the post to correct forum.
And why would I need it or what's the advantage of doing this?

Right now nothing of use to normal user.
however as dev's are working on custom kernel and DooMLorD working on custom kernel manager and ROM manager scripts.
I thought having mutiple partitions can also help. So did an experiment .
However explicitly for me its basic usage is for Experiments on Linux dual booting on X10i

also why Link2SD when you already have app2sd in froyo.

Links2SD moves much more data to SD than native Froyo.
And also, I can use the SD as storage without the apps becoming unavailable.
And I can move any app whether it supports it or not!

Alright so you added one more task for my testing.
1) check how to automount other partitions
2) check Link2SD working
give me some time and i will check and report back that.
This is good info mate. Good news (hopefully) for those of use that prefer Link2SD.

It should work with ext4 also however not tested yet
also i am a bit skeptical coz read a lot about journaling have bad effect on SD CARD's life.
hey BTW can somebuddy point me to a place where i can purchase good SDCARD say for 16GB or more size. I am currently stuck with 8GB stock card by SE.
and you can guess it gets preety small for testing these stuff.

Link2SD i tried installing however it seems to have some issues detecting my partition.
I have
following layout right now
800MB - vfat - part1
1.6 GB - ext2 - part2
5 GB - vfat - part3
so we might need to look at the source code of the application

Yeah, Link2SD detects the second primary partition only,
so maybe we can talk to the developer to implement a workaround

(from wht i gather) froyo+ android versions use /sdcard/.android_secure for native app2sd
there is a A2SD implementation which uses ext2/4 filesystem on sdcard to move apps to
Sorry if a question is repeated, but found nothing that was clear about this, how I wish. I would use hardlinks or softlinks in my sdcard, but the vfat does not support this, as I am linux user, I want to format my sd for a standard ext2 / 3 or 4 that the best fit, you can format the entire card for this format ? Because I found many people talking about the need for a vfat partition, but it is really necessary or changing the fstab I can use a card purely ext2/3/4??
thanks
Did it work? Because I am also a linux user and also want to get rid of vfat on sdcard. Stupid vfat does not allow my to even sync with dropbox since I have filenames which would blow the brains of microsoft out
Yes, according to a thread in nexus s, you can do it. The writing speed is faster that vfat too.

Hi @nishantmnit...
1. Be carefull using "A2SD" @DarkTremor... many users have reported issues involving various roms (bootloops, Partitions refusing to mount etc.). I use Link2sd too & would recommend no other...
Swap partitions act in the same way as a Pc page file... It is used as a kind of virtual ram... In theory it should speed up data access for apps & the OS but in practice all it does is create additional cpu cycles where the system must move data to & from the partition (swap)... This is additional work load & translates basically to the system running slightly slower not faster as would be expected (unless your cpu is 1ghz +), only then would you see possible benefits...
So in short, the "ACE" does not need a swap partition, it will only slow things down... Stick with Link2sd, move user apps to Ext.3 partition, create symbolic links for system apps (if it allows, not all are allowed) & any apps that cannot be moved to sd normally.
FYI : Use CWM 4/5 recovery mode to format & partition your sd card... When asked choose 0m swap partition & your good...hehe
Hope this hellps dude...

Hey @nishantmnit...
Helping is what XDA is all about...
You don't want to move apps to ext.4 as this is internal system memory & would defeat the object of what you are trying to achieve (more free internal memory).
Create mount script for Ext.3 which is your Sd partition... All Dalvik & Lib information will be stored here also as default.
As far as app compatibility after conversion, I do not know...? You could always try to backup apps using "Titanium backup", then restoring them using the same after the file system conversion... sorry I can't help you further with this question... I'll see if any other family member can answer this for you ok...?

One again thanks reaper...but my question was something different.
I am wondering I shud create an ext4 or ext3 partition to be used by link2sd. Hence apps dalvik and lib will reside on this new partition on sdcard not on internal memory.
Currently am using fat partition with link2sd as ext modules were missing prior to flashing cf root kernel.
I still cannot see ext3 module. however, ext4 module is there. I m not sure ext3 ll work or not.
Please advise.

Hi @nishantmnit...
Sorry for the late reply (Family business, New Years eve & all that. ..hehe).
When you run Link2sd it will ask you where to create mount script... If you choose any Ext. other than Ext.3 then Link2sd will return an error... It will only allow you to create a mount script for Ext.3 (which is sd Ext.).
backup your sd root entirely... Use CWM to partition & prepare sd card, Move backup back onto sd root, reboot phone, run Link2sd, choose create mount script on Ext.3, reboot phone, Move apps etc.... All is good...
I don't think you need to see an Ext.3 module as it is an External location not a system location per se & I think Link2sd does the hard work as it must stay in system memory to work correctly... Also keep launchers & themes in memory as moving them can create lag when the system has to access sd partition to recover data for them...
If I am still mis-understanding what you mean then I am at a loss to answer you... (sorry)...

I am very happy...converted the second partition to ext3 last night and good news is now yhe second partition gets mounted at the time of reboot...which means quick reboot in link2sd is no longer required. I had been craving for this for a long time.
Thanks reaper!!!

Partition on your computer, minitool partition wizard seems to be just about the best thing to use for partioning sd cards.
Create the extra partition as ext-3 and make sure you set it as "primary" (as well as the normal partition)
Are you using stock rom, or a custom rom?

If you are using Cyanogen 7 or 9, try using S2E instead.
Works great with cyanogen (certainly better than any others)
Again, Mini Tool Partition Wizard create at ext3 directory, and make sure you set it as primary.
This is only relevant if you are using CYANOGEN MOD
