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 made an ext2 partition in my sd card to use for data2sd (titanium). I guess since it's all about linux, I need to add an entry in /etc/init.d/ . Can anyone tell me what's the proper command syntax?
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me.
I've got a HTC explorer, which is my fist smartphone and after having it for a few weeks I realised that if I wanted more out of it I had to root it.
So I've managed to root the phone (i've checked properly), I've installed Link2SD and I've even managed to partition the SD card using MiniTool partition wizard. I created 2 partitions, one FAT32 which is a primary and shows as active on MiniTool and one which is EXT2 also primary but status shows as None.
When I open Link2SD on the phone it has superuser access and it asks me to select the file system for my SD card's second partition, I choose ext2 and it gives me an error "Mount script error, mount script could not be created. Mount:no such device, ext2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition." I have tried FAT32 on the second partition and it tells me "mount: invalid argument".
All I want to do is have more internal memory so I can install more apps and not worry about the low memory.
Any help would be appreciated.
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?

I have just rooted my Lenovo A690 android phone. I am trying to move files to ext2 partition in my SD card using link2sd. When I open the app and choose ext2, it says" Mount script cannot be created. mount: No such file or directory. ext2 may not be supported in your device. Try FAT32 in the second partition.". I have already tried to change the second partition's file system to FAT32, but still unsuccessful.
.
Please help me!
I made an ext3 partition on the SD card so I could move the apps to the SD card. But when I create the mount script, it works after a reboot. I reboot again to find that my ext3 partition hasn't mounted on boot. So I go to Link2SD and it asks to create the mount script again. So what I understand is that the mount script cannot be used during boot. What should I do?
