i downloaded the latest link2sd from market.
im on mik's cm7 6.5.7, with franco v19.2
i created a 256 mb ext2 partition using TWRP recovery. ran link2sd, rebooted, didnt mount
everytime i get the messsage: "mount script created, restart ur phone.... If ur getting this message after restarting, this means the 2nd partition cannot be mounted automatically at boot"
i grew suspicious of twrp and prepartioned ext2 uing gparted on my pc (i was using the mount usb storage from the recovery since i dont hv a card reader). no success.
formatted partition as ext3. same result.
formatted as fat32. still nothing.
whats wrong? i can see the 2 partitions clearly when i connect it to pc
if you look in /etc/init.d with root explorer
you can see the the 11link2sd file???
you can try to put the file manually

Just checked.the file is there. To see where's happening, I copied the file to sdcard and ran it manually with script manager.this is the output:
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data/sdext2
failed: Device or resource busy
what's this ?
noticed a strange thing. even though that error is occurring, the 2nd partition is actually getting mounted when i manually try the script. but it doesnt get mounted automatically at boot.
is there any way to see the logs or something of the scrpts run at boottime? franco has disabled logcat and dmesg in his kernel. any other way?
I partitioned through clockworkmod and link2sd is working fine.
If I remember right, I think it has to do with the order of partition. The EXT2 partition used by Links2SD had to be the first partition when I put it on my phone.

i tried with cwm, but its not working. the script is right there in init.d folder, it does have executable permissions, and the partition does get mounted on executing the script manually, inspite of the "Device or resource busy" error. only problem is its not getting mounted at boot. doesnt make any sense to me.....
I'm using a 4gb class 2 sd. Does that have anything to do?
Also, after I reboot and mount manually, all the previously linked apps are gone, while I can still see the apks and dexs on my pc, on the 2nd partition
Try this. Uninstall link2sd, reboot, reinstall link2sd and convert your ext partition to ext3.
If by chance you had used some other linking tool like apps2sd etc., before trying link2sd, it could also cause 'loading at boot' problems.
Hope this helps
Reinstalled link 2 sd. Didn't help.finally I had to do a full wipe and reinstall cm7. Now it works

Tried all the above to no avail
I have an LG-D320. It worked fine when I first rooted it. After months of use, the sd went bad. Bought a new one and partitioned it. Again, everything was fine. Then it just stopped recognizing the second partition- ext2. I have since tried everything from repartitioning, unrooting and rerooting, linux swap partition, ext3, ext4, resetting to factory, upgrading with LG Mobile support tool, Checked out the script in the 11link2sd, installing init.d toggle as the init.d folder didn't exist, ... I still get "the 2nd partition cannot be mounted automatically at boot" no matter how often I uninstall/reinstall link2sd restart and the such. Seems to me that either the permissions are asque or the mount is wrong. I am really over my head with this one. Can anyone offer a solution, please? P.S. It mounts the fat 32.
Maybe the new one is defective.

I'm facing the same 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
Hello everyone, this is my very (noob) first thread, and is a question.
I've started reading xda forums like 3 days ago, for like 12 hours each day... and its an amazing comunity of knowledge. Osom.
Well... ive been trying to set a 2nd partition on my 32gb C10 SD for extend internal memory with link2sd on my OptimusOne... on the way i learned how to mod, terminal mount and modify, recover, and all the stuffs that could make this work... but i surrender.
I can make it work formating SD with mini-tool partition wizz, conecting device to PC, and seting into USB massive storage mode (yeap! Worked indeed!!) but if i reboot 2nd Part. lose format and link2sd report error on mounting 2nd partition (says its invalid, mini-tool says it's unformated)... for re-mount i have to re-format with mini-tool and wipe the data... so i've avoided linking any app.
Readed about NAND lock (my device is by default unlocked), /system permisions, and others... and i simply cant make 2nd partition stays at FAT32. (yes, i tried with the other formats too, formated with CWM on recovery mode too and nothing).
Tried this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971689, and didn't work for me.
Last discover was that via Root Browser app, /system file has no "Sticky" permision, if i modify it then busybox and other apps fail and run into recovery mode... (had to reinstal everything several times)
I know there is some kind of permision that i missed... but could be kernel config?
The most simply thing and i cant make it work... ideas?
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.
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?
