I'm now on KA21 and using Link2SD. My ' /cache' is full now. Do you have any way to increase it?

You should paritition your SD card and make there EXT3 paritition. And then reinstall everything.
Or go to settings-applications-and tap on every programm and press clear cache

how you move your apps to ext partition?
your ext partition should be in /sd-ext (but mine is /data/sdext2)
for my case, i failed to partition through ROM manager.
but I managed to partition manually using mkpartfs and also other alternative way is through ClockworkMod Recovery
with move to SD card option, I moved apps to SD card. I heard that it is enough to move to ext partition. is there any way to move apps to ext partition?
What are you using to move apps to the partition? Its not enough to just create a partition... The FroYo way of moving stuff doesnt need a partition at all (Apps -> Move to SD).
You need another app like link2sd or darktremor's apps2sd that actually makes use of partitions.
I done it in caynogenmod but it didnt works in official froyo ver. Here i used DTapp2sd tool. And how can i know what partition i have (ext/ext2/ext3/ext4) ?
And Thanks for ur answer.

how did you partition your sdcard? did you use your custom recovery? if so:
if you have amonra, it should have first partitioned it to ext2. then it gives you the option to convert ext2 to ext3, and then ext3 to ext4. if you have used one of these options then it should be self explanatory.
if you have clockworkmod, you should have ext4 (as clockworkmod only supports ext4)

if you are moving apps to SD using setting->application then you are moving to fat32 partition which is in .android_secure folder of your SD card.
to move apps to ext partition you have to use apps likes link2sd, DT's apps2sd, s2e

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..

make a backup of all your apps, with titanium backup or mybackup, format your app partition to ext, but i recommend you go for ext3 or ext4 depending on the method you are going to use (i use a2sd in minicm7), then install all your apps again from the backup, also make a CWM backup just in case
Thx man,,check ur pms

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
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
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 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
