I tried to install Link2SD in Micromax A58 as the internal storage is very low and need to install some more apps. Already rooted and installed Link2SD to use the ext4 2nd partition of my 8 GB SD card. After trying with all possible ways, couldn't get it worked. All the time it was showing error--
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
Previously even the 2nd partition was not shown as mounted in the storage info of Link2SD but after modifying the install-recovery.sh in /etc path, the storage info now atleast showing the 2nd partition as mounted. My install-recovery.sh looks like below--
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
Now, the problems are as below--
1) Installed multiple applications but none of them are actually linked to SDcard. The Link2SD shows them as 'On SD Card' and just after installing 9-10 small applications, the internal memory is now full. If I go to 'Create Link', it is giving error '/data/sdext2 mount not found'.
2) When try to recreate mount script and choosing 'ext4' as parameter, it still throws error
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
It seems that even though the storage info shows the 2nd partition as mounted, but system couldn't identify it somehow. So, Link2Sd is not working at all.
Please help and advice further. Thanks a lot.

CM10 recent install from CM9, which was Encrypted for work email.
Read that you can just format the partition and it will install new roms fine.
Within CM10 I can see /ExtSDCard/ and but /SDCard/ aka /emmc/ in CWM wont mount.
Going further down into CWM, emmc wont mount so it looks like it has installed the rom fine as it boots without a physical SD Card inserted? When trying to mount /emmc/ the log shows the following error "Failed to mount /dev/block.mmcblk0p11" which I assume is related.
I would like to mount and format the previously encrypted internal storage, so It could be used as /sdcard/ in CM10 so apps like Camera would work.
Thanks
Edit: Fixed English
Edit: Ok so I have worked out its /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 - cant format it ext4 then mount it using "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /emmc" but all the 'scheduled' tasks still think its vfat, so as a work around ill just format it as vfat.
This should be easy.... right?
busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Error:
mkfs.vfat: lseek: Value too large for defined data type
Ugh. Help me format this as vfat please
Fixed!:
Had to push a new version of busybox, which allowed vfat over 1gb.
Thanks me!
Hi,
Got this Desire Bravo with low internal memory so thought I should mount the app and data dirs to a ext4 partition on my SD card instead so I can install a lot of apps.
Followed this howto:
newton dot cx/~peter/2012/12/how-to-increase-app-space-with-a-partitioned-sd-card-on-an-htc-nexus-one-running-android-2-3-6-on-linux/
I found that my ext4 partition is mounted at boot time.
mount command gives the below:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sd-ext ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
I can copy the data to the ext4 partition without any problem using "cp -rlp /data/app /mnt/sd-ext/data" and "cp -rlp /data/data /mnt/sd-ext/data" .
I can see the data when doing a "ls /mnt/sd-ext/" - looks ok.
But after reboot the data is just gone - just dont get it. Grateful for any help for troubleshooting this.
Running ROM CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.3_May24 .
Thanks...
EDIT: installed S2E app (Simple2Ext) instead, which didnt work well, so tried Mount2SD instead and appears to be working OK.
Hi,
My today goal is to swap internal memory with SD card on HTC Desire 310, and I almost accomplished that, because at this moment I need to send command trough adb to get this working:
So ADB and
Code:
su
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/sdcard
so now I need to create init.d script to swap internal memory with SD card at boot, I've tried something like that:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97
script location /system/etc/init.d/04swapsd, and this script does nothing even I tried to add 'busybox' before 'mount' - zero changes.
SManager app gives me 'Device or resource busy' error
Can anyone help me with my problem?
Thanks!

Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWN0tOSPFv4
It should work fine!
in this tutorial I can expand RAM memory, but this is I dont want to do.
I have about 800MB left in internal storage - and I cant install big games like Asphalt 8, and because of that I want to create script to automatically swap internal with external memory.
I've tried already apps like Internal 2 External SD, Link2SD, DirectoryBind, FolderMount.
I have a 2nd ext4 partition on my sdcard that has apps installed on it. After doing a CM update, all those apps are missing and I can't recreate the mount scripts.
When I go into link2sd and try to recreate the mount scripts I get a dialog asking me to choose the filesystem with this path in it:
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
I choose ext4, because that is the filesystem of my 2nd partition, and then I get an error:
Code:
mount:'/dev/block/vold/179:66'->'data/sdext2' no such file or directory
I've verified that /data/sdext2 exists. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi,
I am attempting to use Link2SD app to utilise a second external SD card. However, I receive mounting error. I have tried to emulate the scenario within (SM) script manager by running the mount script (see below). However, the error is the same. ("Permission denied or invalid argument").
ROM: Marshmallow 6.0.1
Rooted with root access.
script: mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblkp2 /data/sdext2
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Link2SD does not work with Android 5 or above, you need Apps2SD (App2SD: All in One Tool [ROOT])
This tool can create the mount script, afterwards you can chose to use Link2SD or stay with Apps2SD which can also do the job.
