I'm thinking of partitioning my SD Card with Minitool partition manager so as to use LINK2SD. Can delete this partition in the future if I so wish and make the SD Card a single partition once again or is this process irreversible?

Of course. GPARTED will do the job for you (create / delete partitions) .

Do I need to partition sd-card before flashing ROMs
some have written but some have not...
By the way, what does partitioning sd-card do?
Example:
Nessy's ROM need partition?
You have to go according to rom specification, if it says you need partition than you have to partition it. Else no.

as u see if u create an ext parttition in your sd card all ur app and games moves to the sd card partition by default using a2sd and ur phone gets a larger space but using ext partition requires a minimum of class 4 sd card
what is sd partition?is it advisable to make one?what are its benefits?what is the probable risk of doing such?
any opinion or suggestion would be appreciated. thank you all!

If the ROM requires an ext partition, I would strongly suggest getting a Class 4 or better SD card. For what kind of partition, read the instructions for the particular ROM regarding filesystem/size.
Thanks again..
Ok..can u pls tell me which custom rom supports class 2 sd card...and which one doesnt need partition of sd card

This is not a matter of ROM. Class 2 is simply too slow, I would not suggest using with any custom ROM that relies on sd-ext partition. Best case will cause the phone to be slow.
CM7 ......i m using it on class 2 sd card .....
Partition Sdcard:
Partition SD: Partition's sdcard for apps2sd (this formats card so all non backed-up data is lost)
- will create ext2 partition (you will be asked for size of ext2 and cache)
just to clarify things,.the backups made through nandroid will not be erased if i partitioned sd card?

If you partition your SD card all data that was there before will be GONE. (Already written pretty explicitely in the text you quoted.)

Just copy everything on your sd card to pc and after partioning copy back everything.Remember to enable show hidden files before copying and copying back.Use minitool partion wizard.
Always.partition using the adapter..do not partition while you are connected in usb storage mode

thanks guys for all the reply!
I was thinking about using xionia recovery to create a partition for link 2sd to put my caches. If I create the position would it over write or delete any part of the data on my sd card?
And are there any advantages to doing this?

Making partitions on SD card will delete everything from SD card,so make a backup of SD on your PC,then delete everything from SD card and make partition. I did like this

EXT size doesn't matter, put the space necessary to fit your needs. If you doesn't wish to use SWAP (or if you doesn't know what's that), set the SWAP size to 0.
Pay attention to this, also:

My advice to you would be to use minitool wizard to partition your sdcard.
But however or whatever way you choose to partition your sdcard remember to make a copy of your sdcard contents in a folder on your PC.
