Hi
I have a c6802, default rom (last update 532) and a 64gb sandisk sdxc card. It works flawlessly if it is formatted exfat. I have tried to format it in ext4,3, and 2 in it is not recognized. Is there anyway to make it work in ext4 or another filesystem?????
EXT4 is supposed to be supported, if you make a "cat /proc/filesystems" ext4 is a supported filesystem in kernel, but os keep telling me SDcard is damaged try reformating it....
Sorry for my english, it's no my mother tongue....
Interested about Ext4 as well

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.

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.
Until today i was using ext3 on my sdcard (single 8gb partition) with slade froyo v3. Then i formated the card to ext4 to se if it was supported. Unfortuly my phone didnt recognized it. So i just reformated back to ext3, but the phone doest regonize it (but until i formated the sdcard he never complained). So now im back to vfat partition. And i would like advices on how to make it acept the ext3 again

What is the best format for the SD card for our TFP's? I have 2 32gb class 10 SD cards that I want to use with my TFP and want to format it correctly the first time. Also would it be good of if I put it in my Evo3D and turned it to use either ext3 or 4 before using it in my TFP? Thanks in advance
Anyone know which wouldbe better, ntfs or fat32?
ext3 will be read by any android devices, but not natively if you mount it under windows (if you have that ... lol)with direct USB connection.
ext4 and ntfs kernel support is perhaps not natively implemented in all kernels, in custom ones and some stock ones for ext4 yes, but ntfs not sure at all..... (don't know for TFP still doesn't have mine).
that's why sdcards are still FAT32 formatted... you have heavy fragmentation, 4GB file limit, but you can read it in every OS.
If you use only network share (samba, Cifs) you can format as you want as long as the kernel support it.
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:
