[Q] Link2SD second partition problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people here's the problem:
I have a chinese mt6589 ICS, rooted, an SD class 10, partitioned a second part, fat32, primary, 1Gb to symlink apps using Link2SD, when i first boot with my new 2nd partition Link2SD runs the script and mount it everything seems to go fine, but here's the thing. After next power on of my phone the second partition doesn't mount anymore !!!! and Link2SD keep saying "script can't be created, mount: Invalid argument".
I erased the second part and parted once again, mounts by the first time as i said and the same problem .
Any ideas/solutions ??
Tks.

[Q] Link2sd problem

Hey all I'm running CMD 7.1 (RC) on a Nexus One and I've followed the instructions to partition my sd card from here as ext3, installed link2sd, and get this error:
Mount script error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting/dev/block/
vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2
failed: Device or resource busy
Anyone have a solution for this? I have searched XDA and Google for a solution, a few posts showed up with the same problem, but the person that starts the thread with the same problem ends up not following their own thread, or finds a solution without explaining how.
I am having the exact same problem, Nexus One with CM7 nightly 214. Tried S2E but it kept screwing up and trashing my EXT partition so I wanted to try Link2SD.
Finally got it to work but I can only get EXT3 partition, tried updating using Amon-Ra and MiniTool Partition but neither updated to EXT4.
In Terminal you can check the type of EXT partition by typing: mount | grep sd-ext
Everything I tried kept giving me only an EXT2 partition, I tried converting to EXT4 using MiniTool Partition Manager which reported a successful conversion but when I checked in terminal it reported EXT2. I then used Amon-Ra recovery to convert from EXT2 to EXT3 and now Link2SD works. Lexar 32GB Class 10 SD. Hope this helps.
Possible solution
I might have just found a solution.
Do you guys use any kind of bk2sdext? (automated backup of app/data to sdext partition, which comes with some ROMs built in)
To find out, go to your build.prop file in /system and check, it's one of the last lines, if it says something like bkup2sdext.enable=1, then disable it (switch 1 to 0), save and restart.
After that either go to ClockworkMod Recovery or just unmount your SD card, in order to FORMAT the sd-ext partition again so that it doesn't contain any data (and doesn't get automatically filled back, because bkup2sdext is off now).
This way I was able to mount it finally.
I think it has something to do with the build.prop AND the sd-ext partition having some other data on it before first mounting with link2sd.
Cheers.
download titanium backup press menu select batch operation scroll down till u see move all user apps to sd(if supported) and also make sure that you have checked allow application moving(settings->applications)
I have segmentation fault all the time,donnu why

[Q][SOLVED] sd-ext mount issue

Hi there!
I have been using the latest CM11 nightly for a while and decided to go for Link2SD, but I simply cannot mount my sd-ext partition from recovery. I have partitioned my SD-card of size 16GB with MiniTool Partition Wizard, and created an EXT3 partition of size 2GB. The partitions appear perfectly on the software, but whenever I try to mount /sd-ext from recovery, I get an error of "Error mounting /sd-ext!". Could anyone please help me out here? Quite a n00b here about sd-ext really.
I never tried mounting the sd-ext from recovery, but it works just fine after boot. What would you do with mounted sd-ext in recovery?
Well, I want to use Link2SD and have been always receiving an error message while creating the mount script, which goes something like:
"Mount script error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: Invalid argument"
Also, upon looking into the Storage info, I find that SD Card 2nd Part. is not mounted. This is why I'm trying to mount my sd-ext from the CWM recovery, so that I can eradicate the error. Am I going in the wrong track?
I don't know, ext partition should work out of the box. What I did was partition sd card, boot, install link2sd, create mount script, reboot once again, done.
The only time link2sd won't create mount script for me is when the internal memory is full. Maybe your internal memory is full?
Not really, my internal memory is at least 50% free. Either way, I'll try reflashing the kernel and make a fresh install, and see if the problem persists. Thanks for responding and helping regardless!

Reboot then, dude. recreate mount script again, reboot, let see what happen next
Alright, I finally got Link2SD working and apparently, as it turned out, it's more comfortable with ext4 than ext3. Creating a mount script always failed when I tried with ext3, but with ext4, it worked like a charm. Anyway, thanks for all the advice, guys. Gonna tag this as solved right away.

Azpen A727 - Link2SD won't mount scripts

I am using a stock ROM for the Azpen A727 and have been trying to install Link2SD on it. It is rooted using King root and that seems to be working OK. I partitioned a 15Gb sdcard as 7Gb ext4 and 8Gb fat32. When I open Link2SD I see the prompt for picking the file system so I select ext4 and it says the script was created so I reboot and the same thing happens again. I tried ext3/ext2 but when I try that Link2sD says "script failed to mount. Invalid argument". I have setup Link2sd on many other android devices without any problems but this Azpen stumped me. How can I get Link2SD to work?

Link2 SD not mounting with CyanogenMod V.13 on MOTO E2..2nd Generation phone

Hello All,
I am new to XDA. I have a moto e 2 .. 2nd generation phone..I have removed my stock rom from the system and installed a CyanogenMod Version 13.0. Also, i have installed SU on my phone and link2SD is also installed.
I have created 2 partitions on my SD card. 1 partition is created as Fat 32. 2nd partition is created as EXT4. When i open up link2sd and recreate mount scripts i get the below error.
mount script cannot be created.
mount: '/dev/block/vold/public:179_66'-> '/data/sdext2': Invalid argument.
I have used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to partition the SD card. The mount scripts worked fine when i used with stock rom. But i am getting this error when i installed the custom ROM.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks !!
Link2sd cannot mount 2nd partition(all roms 6.+).
The mountpoint is the same as adopted storage.

Link2sd create mount script but second partition not mounted

Hi, I have samsung tab 3.7 with model number SM-T116NU, android version 4.4.4, and kernel version 3.10.17-11712742
I've rooted that phone about six month, and suddenly all of apps that I had linked dissapear. Usually, I try to reboot again by "Quick Reboot" or "Reboot" on Link2sd menu. But, in this case, it wasnt worked. I though that my sd card was broken. so I bought a new sd card "SanDisk 32gb 10 class".
I formatted it into two partition, Fat32 primary about 24gb, and ext4 primary about 6 gb. And then, I recreated mount scrip in link2sd with ext4, the apps said "Mount Scrip Created, please ....................." , then I rebooted it. But, nothing happened with my second partition. I have read many article, that said "mount script error", "mount script cannot be created", but I think that is not the same with my problem. I dont have any error message. The apps always says "Mount Scrip Created, please .....................", but after reboot when I check on strorage info, SD Card 2nd Part --> not mounted.
I have formatted 2nd partition into ext2 or ext3, the result is same. When I check on strorage info still SD Card 2nd Part --> not mounted. I've tried installed init.d but nothing has changed. On init.d folder I also find 11link2sd file. I tried to unistall then install again link2sd, nothing has changed. I tried to unroot then root again, nothing has changed.
So, can someone help me please?
Many thanks...
I also having this same problem.
Samsung tab 3 7.0 (T210R)
