[Q] EXT2 for APP2SD HTC Hero - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I don't want to install AmonRa to make an ext2 partition on my SD-Card. Can I make an ext2 Partition with my PC (e.g. using easeus partition manager)? Are there any specific things I should not forget?
Thx

[Q] Partition scheme 32GB sd card?

How are you guys formatting and partitioning your sd cards?
I tried using AmonRa on my Desire but it can't convert to ext3. I would ulitmately like ext4 (for large file sizes and journaling) but I need it to be readable by my mac.
So what file system?
What tool to partition?
What partitions? (any swap?, what ext version?, any FAT?)

[Q] 4ext vs 2nd partition on SD card

Hello,
I have secondary partition on my SD card with ext4 filesystem on it.
With help of Link2SD i can use this partition for installed apps.
So the question is, when i create a backup with 4EXT (currently installed) or CWM does it include links and actual files from the SD card?
Got also a ext and ext1 seems to be a strange mounting problem..
It works but s2e cannot find the ext patition..

Hi,
4EXT nandroid backup takes a complete snapshot of your phone system,settings,data,and apps.
It does NOT make a backup of your sd card.
So, I would think that if you restored the backup,and you had not moved the apps in your ext4 partition,then they would match up again.
Why are you using an ext4 partition,anyway?
Isn't 1 GB of space on the phone enough for you?
software logic
well,
in linux filesystem, and in windows nowdays too, any storage can be mounted anywere, so if backup software differentiate external storage vs internal storage, it probably should follow symlinks and backup application from extended filesystem as well.
it could be a feature request
