is it possible to use an ext2 formatted sd card in my a101 to overcome the 4gb file-size limit of fat32 filesystem? i tried but my a101 doesn't seem to recognize the sd card...
thanks!
Yes, this is possible since FW 2.1.0.4.
Which version are you using?
I'm using the latest firmware, 2.1.08, rooted with archangel. what I did was I put my 32 gb sdcard into my phone, connected it to my win7 notebook and formatted it to ext2 with partition manager. put it back into my a101 and it wasn't recognised. what am I doing wrong? I reformatted it back to fat32 with my a101 and it works again.
is there any difference performance wise between fat32 and ext2?
thanks!
Yes, when ext2 starts to work it is very slow.
Look into the Uruk Droid thread where he states that ext4 is alot better and faster.
http://update.archos.com/8/gen8/changes_firmware_archos_android_gen8.htm
yes, but do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong that ext2 doesn't work?? I would at least like to try it...
I have 2 problems with uruk and ext4:
1. I don' want to install sde and void the warranty
2. ext4 is a journaling filesystem and as such not very suitable for removable media, as I've heard. or does uruk support the non-journaling version of ext4?
thanks!
It is your Loss if you don't want to get the big benefits of Uruk.
In Most countries Archos will have some problem to claim that loss of warrenty when you for ex. have a broken usb port.
It will only be a problem if you friy your cpu by overclocking.
But it is your decision.
1. Ext2 + Ext3 ( which is journaling support ontop of ext2 ) are working since 2.1.03.
Is there at least any message Printed on Your 101 when you insert the card?
2. Journaling is only a problem if you constantly change the sd and forget to "safe remove" the card otherwise the speed outweights the problem that ext4 might have.
Hi there pals, after buying HTC Desire second hand I'd like to make FAT32 and EXT3 partitions... I burnt GParted and saw that those partitions exist, so no need for it...
EXT3 has 1GB (in gparted written that is 116MB used???) other is FAT32 - 8GB SD card from previous nokia 5800.
I downloaded every bigger application to test saving files, and from cca. 60mb's internal memory now I'm on 26mb's, obviously nothing goes on that EXT3 partition?
I wanna know how to make my phone install aplications on that EXT3 partiotion not internal memory which is almost full?
Thankful!
I'm using HTC Desire with OXYGEN ROM, some 8GB SDCard!
Hi,
could somebody try NTFS-3G to run external HDD formatted to NTFS?. Or it is possible to use at least Ext* partition on HDD?
It would be great to have this, even only in webtop mode with dock.
I was searching for this, but I find only few questions and no answer.
The next release of CM7 will support read-only NTFS. It already does support ext* thru vold if I recall correctly too, and if it doesn't you can always mount it manually
does the stock rom (2.3) support ext3 ?
Hi,
the specs of the Acro S say that maximum SD Card size is 32 GB. Has anyone tried a 64 GB card?

Yes, I did try 64GB MicroSD card on my Acro S. It works fine and great. Haha. For your info I was equipping my Acro S with the ORIGINAL SanDisk 64GB Class10 UHS-1 Micro SDXC MicroSD Card MOBILE ULTRA.

If I remembered correctly, I never used exFAT format. Why don't you try and let me know what's the results?
Now... I've moved to Xperia Z and V. My Acro S... Accidentally dropped into a >2m deep swimming pool and it got waterdamaged! LOL! Was running stock firmware with ROOT as well as CM9.1 by FreeXperia though.
everything always says expandable to 32, I believe its because that's what fat32 support supports as a maximum. but in most cases exfat will actually work they just never state it

No the Acro S does not support exFAT. You will need to reformat the SD card to use in your phone.
Code:
dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/storage/sdcard1/ 59.4G 58.1G 1.4G 32768

Hi everyone, ive already figured this out.
i inserted 64gb card on acro s as exFAT formatter. it says blank sd card and wont mount.
tried formatting under win7 as fat32 it failed,
Solution:
used easeus partition manager and formatted it as FAT32, it is now being recognized by AcroS 58.99GB.
we just need to format it to fat32 for it to be recognized by the device. techincally as long as the file system of the sd card is fat32 it will be recognized by AcroS
(please note on the file size limitation of fat32 file system)
Quote from wiki:
"The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232 − 1) bytes. This limit is a consequence of the file length entry in the directory table and would also affect huge FAT16 partitions with a sufficient sector size.[1] Video applications, DVD images, large databases, and some other software easily exceed this limit."
Thanks everyone for the idea
I have been playing with this idea for some time...

I have no problem with the 64 gb sd card on cm11 4.4.4 (Now using carbonrom 4.4.4)
Edit: it works on all roms that I tried. Also even 5.1.1
Hi when I transfer 8 gig movies to my sd after a while laptop says device has stop responding is my tablet timing out or sumat?
If the SD card is formatted as FAT32 then only files up to 4GB can be stored on it.
You have to use exFAT or Linux filesystem (ext3 or ext4).
format the SD card to exFAT in windows 7 above
thx guys its worked:good:
