simply put, i cant find my sd to micro sd adapter card so i can get a direct connect to the sd card and perform the partition, can this be done using paragon partition manager through the usb connection through the phone? will it or is there a way for the program to distinguish the sd card from the phones memory in order for me to partition correctly?
i am going to assume that paragon partitioner works similar to patition editor in ubuntu. i partition mine through the USB just fine, i have a drop down menu with the names of each device and the amount of space overall on said device. it should work just fine

yep used the demo version to partition and format the fat32/ext2 partitions over the usb connection, since the card reader on the pc i was useing wouldn't recognize my sd card

Actually this is recommended because some users (myself included) when trying to use a microsd card adapter would have issues. Don't ask me why but although it would correctly format the partition, the phone just would not recognize the new ext2 partition. However when I used my phone as the adapter (sorta speak) it was a first time go.
Good luck and remember to read the instructions carefully.
i just partitioned mine via usb cable today. i used paragon partition manager.
it probably goes without saying, but make sure you reboot after setting it up to run apps from the sd card.
i didn't reboot and any app i tried to run said "application not installed". after the reboot everything worked perfectly.
Can I please have a step by step on how to use Paragon to partition my sdcard, I have tried and tried and cant get it done can some one help please.
I keep partitioning my card but when I go to the busybox df -h to check it it only shows the fat partition and not the linux.

I used paragon to partition, I dont know what Im doing wrong.
Ok I have partioned both Fat32 and ext2 both as primary but when I check busybox df -h it only shows the mmcblk0p1 not the p2 what am I doing wrong.
Hi,
The fat 32 has to be made 1st and the ext2 2nd.
Both must be primary.
I just used my phone via usb connection and partitioned my 8gb class6 sd card.
worked perfect. Paragon Partition Personal Trial version.
paragon partition says partition id invalid at restart of computer.
can't create ext2 partition.
Sd Card type
I think I have a type 2 sd card and was hoping to run my apps from my g1 phone. Can I still do that with the type 2? or is it required to have a type 6?
I have a Motorola Droid. I'm looking to create partitions on a 16g sdcard because every time I try to mount the card in custom recovery or rom manager I get message E:can't mount sdcard /dev/block/mmcblk0. I've been trying to do this through fdisk through adb and I can delete partition 1 and to the prompt to create new partitions but don't know size/space I should allocate to the Fat32 primary, or ext2 and if I even need and ext 3/4? Any help would be appreciated.
I have kingston 32gb memory card, class 6.
I maked 30gb fat32 & 1gb ext4 partition through gparted.
Everything seems to be ok. But it's not. Ext4 is not working. Like it's invisible.
When i refresh memory card I get some error sign near ext4 partition, and when i click for more information:
Anyone knows where problem might be?
anyone with solution?

hi
looks like you want to do the same thing than me but ... as i learn at this time, there is no way to use ext4 partition on external sd card, just with some tools on internal sdcard.
android doesn't have script and code to mount under /mnt ext4 partitons just FAT32 !!!!!!!! great
Since I'm using a custom ROM that make the External (bigger: 14GB) SD mount as the default /sdcard, and internal (smaller) as /sdcard2 or something I don't really need it and would much rather like to mount it entirely as /data
.. something similar to this script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 except that it "Mounts **/sd-ext** to /data" but I want to mount /mnt/sdcard2 to /data
. How do I do that?
Problems: I've found that Android would neither let that internal partition be ext3 (it switches it back to FAT even if I somehow manage to format it as ext3). Nor would it mount /data to a FAT partition. What can/should I do?

Swap on internal data will not broke faster my sdcard and work faster
