It OK just ignore it I'm getting the same problem to. It did go away for awhile but it came back when I tried the GB leak and after I reverted back to bionix with ext4 and the error came back. Trust me your phone is fine.

your partitions are messed up. you will need a pit file to fix this.

Yeah I lost the three button trick to get to cwm once I flashed the Gingerbread ROM and reverted back to KD1. the only thing we still have is Download mode. and the mounting errors I got in cwm althought they are not a big deal I just didn't wanna see them there anymore so I flashed the update.zip for cwm again. I rebooted the recovery after that and I no longer have those red letter in the recovery page.

Ill follow your.suggestions guys. I also cannot mount cache with cam though other mounts work fine. Is this apart of the same problem?

I got it to go away by odining a fresh kd1. But everytime you use the ext4 converter you will get that error.

If you have terminal emulator open it an type these two commands
SU <enter>
Mount <enter>
This will bring up alot of text but if you will read a little at the top it will tell you what mounts are what(ext4 or rfs) notice my system and data are ext4 but my cache is rfs that is the reason you see the error, give it time and a couple cache wipes in cwm and it should go away. On my last cwm session is when I formatted my cache and it went back to rfs as you can also see in the pic. So when your cache is ext4 you will receive this error till your cache returns to normal

Damn it looks like you have no cache. Try re-odining and if that doesn't help then you will have to do what chadster suggested and grab the pit for flashing kd1. BEFORE YOU DO THAT THOUGH HAVE YOU TRIED MOUNTING THE CACHE AND REBOOTING.(REMEMBER MOUNT MEANS UNMOUNT AND VICE VERSA)

If you look in the sgs4g bible there is a .pit there but you might want to pm a more knowledgeable person than me(like dsexton702 or mad_fitter)because I haven't had to use a pit. Just pm them and tell them your situation and I'm sure they will help you. Hope you get things going again and sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

The getting stuck on /.android_secure is a byproduct of our rom manager/cwm issues. The only way to fix that ostensibly to odin back to stock/stock+root and redo the recovery. Its all in my flashing guide.

it is a know issue after flashing ext4, you are still ok, just click on reinstall packages and it will take you to cwm
yeah I'm sure everyone who flashed EXT4 is experiencing the same thing, I am too. CWM still works as far as I'm concerned. I've done like two restores, and flashed trigger rom successfully. I think everyone is getting those mounting errors.
Nevertheless, the phone is ridiculousness fast and smooth !! big ups to dsexton702.

thats because the recovery on the rom is not compatable with ext 4 but clockwork is hence why u can still get into clockwork but not the stock recovery.
yes OP is correct as of now there is no way of fixing it. just ignore it and click install packages and it works just fine

will be fixed along with the chargeing animation once we get more ext 4 roms.
thanks everybody i feel allot better now but one more question. Even if i reflash odin and then reflash bionix the ext4 mod will still be there right? or do i have to do the mod again?

Yea I was going in and out of cwm trying to partition like Lenny hodapp and I noticed the red text error wasn't coming up so I went to mounts and cache was the only one that said unmount so I mounted it and I have not received that error since. If I see it come back I will let you know.
And my OC problems are things like xda app freezing and market sometimes makes the phone vibrate and back out of some screens on it's own. 1 or 2 fc's and that's about it. Also I turned off stability watch and still unstable at 1.5ghz. Should I increase internal voltage by +25 or +50?

try 1400 instead of 1375 for the core and internal maybe to 1200
also might have to warm the rom up to OC'ing because my 1.5 was extremely stable but not till awhile with the rom

I was also screwing around in the sd card yesterday night and noticed I had 3 nandroid back ups I deleted the 2 oldest and kept the newer one now I'm also not getting that mounting error in cwm and as far as OC goes I've notice that my phone is stable at 1.5ghz but depending on which of dr honks kernels I use it requires different voltages:
the 2.1 UV it's stable at core voltage 1400mv and internal 1175mv and the non UV Kernel it's stable at 1400mv and 1150mv. in either one of these settings the scaling need to be set to conservatiove or performance starting at 200mhz instead of 100mhz.

just a fyi, when you SEE "unmount" that means what ever your looking at is "mounted" when you click on it and see "mount" that means its unmounted. I had to pm a dev for that info.
I had to odin my phone to KD1 then formatted the fs to ext4 then flashed Bionix frost from cwm I went to recovery and I had those erros in the page. I went into reinstall packages/ apply update from sdcard/ Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip then rebooted recovery and I had no more mounting erros in the recovery page. I hope this helps

CWM not working?

OK! Im kind of confused. Rooted then flashed cwm, I flashed Smooth Maximus ROM Gingerclone onto the phone through cwm and now i cant get into it at all. When i boot to recovery i get the stock recovery, ive tried though quickboot, button combo, and rom manager and i get the same thing everytime. Any help would be appreciated. CWM 4.0.0.2
Don't use ROM Manager. It has the wrong CWM version. Use the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453
I'm not entirely sure that'll work if you've already flashed a ROM, so wait for an actual dev to chime in.
heres what i did when i couldnt get it to work
make sure ur rooted
download this
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip
extract the update.zip and ur gonna look for a file called recovery.bin
and get ahold of root explorer
place the recovery.bin on ur sd card and remember where its at
go into root explorer and find it and long press it and hit copy then go into the phone using root explorer and go into /system/bin and paste it dont delete anything or move files just overwrite it
then download this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12704578/sk4...eclickroot.zip
and unzip it on your computer make sure u unzip it if not it wont work
and double click run.bat and let it do its thing and itll reboot into CWM for you and go into install packages or something and voila
make sure you have usb debugging enabled
and id flash
