Hi! I'm trying to install a rom and a ext4 file system is needed. But when I try to format RFS to EXT4 it's always failed. e:cannot format /cache (forgot the message)
Does anyone know how to properly using multi formatter?

Does restoring the backup from cwm convert your ext4 partion to ext3 partion? Caus I guess mine just did that.... Any solutions?

Only sd-ext
Yup it does, noticed it but never knew it's because of the restoring.
its working fine here
I guess then its with data wipe in cwm

Guys I have cf root installed and ext 4 manager installed. But I have not converted rfs to ext 4. Ext manager shows no ext 4 partitions found. Can I convert my internal mem to ext4. Also does cf root automatically converts internal mem to ext ?

Ext4 is actually faster in performace and is more flexible for a2sd

Once you install CF-Root and have the ext4 manager , you can convert it to and fro

1) Yes you can .
2) The ext4 manager is usedun conjunction with CF-Root to make all your partitions convert from RFS to Ext4

Hello
I would like to chroot arch linux in my phone, but when I extract (tar xzvf ./*.tar.gz) the .tar.gz file (it is the multi-platform image) I get in every attempt to create symlink and hardlink I get an error that says "Operation not permitted". Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks a lot in advance

vfat partitions don't support symlinks or hardlinks, format your sdcard to ext4

I always mounted images with (busybox mount $img /path) , but make sure your kernel supports loop devices and the img is formatted to ext4 (mke2fs -T ext4 $img)
