Hi
I tried to create 2nd partition as ext4 on internal SDcard, 3 GB but my device keep saying that the SDcard is broken and tell me to format it. when i format it, it format the whole SDcard as FAT32.
what i did is delete the whole partition, apply it, create 2nd partition as ext4 and give to 3 GB and create 1st partition as FAT32 and give it 10 GB. my tablet does not have custom recovery.

I tried to create 2 partitions (first FAT32, second ext3 for Apps2SD/Link2SD) on my 2 GB SD card (yeah, this one which is included in Galaxy Ace original package). I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition software and it didn't create both partitions (because Windows can't recognize two primary part in removable device, just FAT32 part was created).
Now I can't access files on my SD card. // OK, I can see these files now, but there's still problem with the second partition, Link2SD says "device not found") – the reason is that ext3 partition wasn't created, MiniTools show only first FAT32 partition. When I want to delete this partition and create one big partition (I mean reset changes), MiniTools Partition Master is doing that, but after „success“ applying this option there are still first FAT32 partition and unallocated space.
I wanted to get everything to normal, so I formatted SD card (FAT32/FAT; in MiniTool and Windows, both of them), but no change – when I upload MP3 file to SD card, I am not able to see it in Android.

Does anybody know what happened?
Thanks for advice.
// OK, problem solved, but I really don't know how. LOL.
I would like to partition a 4gb sdcard and create three partitions for user data, phone data and swap
The rom on the phone is nobodyAtall's MiniCM10-4.1.0 (Nightly May-18-2013) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837273
My question is: Would be any problem using sdcard partitions as phone internals?
My idea is create partitions, change the device init scripts so the phone mounts a sdcard partition as /data and other as swap. SDCard Class 10 might not be used.
I partitioned my 32 gig sd card into 2 (fat32 and ext4). This was done for link2sd as I have my phone rooted n I use the 2nd partition for linking applications. But my second ext4 partition is of 12G n the rest is in the fat32 first partition. I also use foldermount to link large game data and obb to the sd card's 1st partition. Now I'm running out of space on the first partition. And the ext4 partition is all free (around 9G). Now I want to resize the first partition to increase its size n decrease the ext4 partition size. Windows doesn't recognize the second partition as usual.
So, how can I re-partition my SD card WITHOUT loosing data on either of the partitions? I'm not worried about the first partition as I can back it up but I cant back up the linked files present on the 2nd partition.
Any help is appreciated.
I know from old Andoid OS threads that it was necessary to split format an SD-card in fat32 and ext3 or 4 partitions.
I now use ANdroid 4.4 and got myself a 128GB SDcard.
Simple question: is it still neccessary to reserve a ext3/4 partition for the OS ? Else I would all format to fat32
Hi guys!
I have really particular question, which I have not found any answer to. I have my microSD card partitioned and I did backup of the system with CWM, but I have marked sd-ext option too. Now I have few questions:
1) So when I will format my microSD card and don't create new partition, then recover my earlier done backup of my system and sd-ext through CWM , will second partition (ext4) will also be recreated? or I should re-partition my microSD and then recover my sd-ext files through CMW?
2) When re-partition is needed, can I choose create ext2 and recover my sd-ext data which was on ext4? is it possible?
3) When I know that my backed up files on second partition was for example 4GB, and I still had 6GB free space (both give 10GB in total), can I shrink my newly created second partition to 8GB in total, and leaving 4 GB free space instead of 6GB before. Will it affect recovered through CWM files?
4) And lastly I would like to know when I copy microSD files to computer, files are only those from first FAT32 partition? When I wipe my microSD and copy these files back to microSD, I assume all my ext4 (second partition) files are lost? and then, all linked apps through link2sd will be broken (deleted?)? There is only one option to backup them and is it through CWM recovery with "sd-ext" option? or is there anything else?
