I was able to pick up a class 10 32gb micro sd card for $45 from Future Shop today. I currently have a 8gb class 4 card in my Desire with a 500mb ext4 partition for my data2sd and then the rest as fat32. I partitioned my 32gb with a 5gb ext4 and everything else as fat32. I want to copy the files from my 500mb ext4 to my 5gb ext4 but I can't seem to mount it in Ubuntu, OSX Lion or Win7. Can anyone tell me how to mount both ext4 so I can copy all my files from one to the other. Also do I need to run my data2sd script for my new card?
Thanks!

Link2SD
The XPERIA X10i running GB 2.3 is a bit problematic with partitions.
The OS only mounts the first partition it finds and that's normally the second partition. Doh!!
The following patch may be of some help to you
SE2.3.3-link2sd-patch.zip
It is assumed you have formatted both partitions as primary.
Everybody should use Link2SD if they have an XPERIA X10, just because most quality class6/class10 cards have better read/write speed than internal flash and with a 1-2GB sdext2 partition more space too.
Considerations
I'd format the second partition as ext3 and 2GB if Link2SD is to be used, especially if a gamer.
I would only use a class6/class10 'quality' 32GB microSD card or greater.
Copy the contents of the /data/sdext2 partition to a NAS/external server
(1) I'd format the partition to be used with Link2SD as ext3 ( I've found on my builds I can't use ext4, but would, if I could ), just because it'll give better performance. In a gaming environment 1GB can be used up pretty quickly if libraries and data are linked too.
(2) The cost of quality class6/class10 microSD cards has really dropped in price now that extreme and extreme pro cards (50MB+ write) are all the rage. It's just a pain having to rebuild a working Link2SD environment onto a larger card at a later date, when a lesser card, no longer meets needs.
But given I'm using a 64GB card, I would say that.
(3) If you copy the contents of the second partition to a linux system /folder it makes a great recovery, as you only have to restore the Link2SD second partition and you get all your apps back, data and all. I copy my /data/sdext2 partition onto my NAS every now and then and it has saved my bacon a few times when microSD/SD cards have gone belly up.
Dear Experts
I am using windows 7 and before partitioning my mobile's (Samsung Galaxy S7) SD card I did backup to all folders that were installed on it and those apps were moved by AppMgr III (App 2 SD) .
Then I partitioned the SD card using the utility called "Mini Tool Partition" as per the snapshot below (SD card named as Disk2 not 1 and size is 32 GB)

I created 3 partitions as per some online recommendation and as below :
8 GB Fat32
16 GB Ext2
8 GB Swap
Using my laptop slot that is designated to SD card I wanted to copy the backup to the partition Ext2 which utility will let me do that ? because when I copied them back to the SD card Fat32 partition phone was not able to read those apps !!!
So far I tried ext2explore and Ext2Fsd-0.68 with no joy

On my Samsung S5 dual SIM (G900FD) running Android 6.0.1, I have an external SD card (128 Gbytes) with a lot of files.
In order to increase the memory of the phone I have reduced the size of the fat32 partition of the external SD and I have created an ext3 partition (10 Gb) on it (using gparted on my PC).
My question:
Is there a way to extend the phone memory with the new ext3 partition on the SD card, WITHOUT erasing files on the phone or on the fat32 partition of the external SD card ?
Thanks you for your support.
