[Q] How to partition sd card for Defy?

I've brought my sdcard from my old HTC Magic. There (using cyanogenmod) it was partitioned to have swap, ext4 space for apps2sd and storage space as vfat. I did not repartitioned the card since I started using my Defy but it ran out of space already.
The question is - do I need swap and apps space or shall I repartition my card to have only storage space for the defy? I'm using Jboogies rom, if that matters.

You do not have to partition your MicroSD card at all.

Shouldn't need apps2sd or space in sd card for applications. Defy has over 1g available rom space out of factory.

[Q] Desire can only find SD Card in Recovery

Hi,
I was finally able to partition my 16GB Micro SD HC Class 4 SD Card using minitools.
FAT32 at the front, Primary, and EXT2 afterwards, logical.
I can drop files onto the FAT32 partition and flash the ROM in recovery, but when I reboot it can't find the card.
If I then change the card to my old 4GB Samsung SD it is fine.
When I partitioned the 4GB card using ROM Manager, which I couldn't do with the 16GB one, it created an EXT3 partition.
Is there anything I can do, or is it simply the card?
Cheers

As an update, I put the card in my wife's Blackberry this morning to see if that could see it and it said it wasn't formatted and did I want to? Yes I said.
I could now see it on my Desire and was able to partition it using ROM Manager.
Looking at it now, the second partition is ext3 and is primary, not logical.
I've no idea why this happened but I'm hoping it will all be fine when I flash a new ROM.

[Q] Internal Storage and SD Card Formatting

Hi all.... I haven't found specific answers to my questions so am posing them here.
I am running CM11
Can you expand your internal storage without doing an entire ext sd card to internal swap? I want to use only part of my ext SD card to enhance the internal storage.
Is there any point in formatting multiple partitions on the ext SD card as fat32 / ext4 / Linux swap anymore? I thought doing this would have part of the partition used for internal storage and part as the ext sd card storage. Formatting the SD card through CWM deletes all partitions and formats it all as FAT32 for external storage only.
Thanks and go Blaze haha

Thanks ink. I will look at this more tonight but I did use Partition Wizard Home and formatted the first partition as FAT32 which is recognized as the external SD card1 in CM11 but the 2nd EXT4 partition isn't recognized by the ROM it seems. Maybe I just don't know how it would be used but checking the storage in settings didn't have any change to internal.
