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

When I odind gb I used the pit. I don't know if that has any bearing on the situation. When I try to ext4 this room I get bootloops which must have something to do with my funky mounts.

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.

[Q] Defy/Cyanogen cache problem

Hi,
I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my Motorola defy and it's working fine except one problem: I cannot download applications from the marketplace. The download starts but immediately disappears.
I'm thinking this is a cache problem? Clearing the cache for marketplace, downloads etc. didn't work. Neither did wiping the cache / dalvik cache in cw recovery.
When I open custom recovery in Clockwork I do see these lines:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/clast_log
Could this be an indication of the problem? I'm pretty new at all this so help is appreciated

with the info you have given...based on that... if it were me i would reflash the rom and gapps and then try again. if it cannot flash again then its a sdcard issue. swap out put a working card in and confirm. just my thoughts.
did you have a working recovery before?

I've just tried reflashing the rom & gapps, but the problem is still here. Everything is working fine and I have all the gapps installed but when I want to download an app from the marketplace it doesn't work.
I don't think the sd card has anything to do with it? It used to work just fine on the stock Motoblur rom.

[Q] HELP! unable to mount external Storage TWRP

I recently rooted my HTC one X (rogers)
I had AOKP Jelly Bean 1.4 installed with the gapps.
However I was have issues with my phone randomly restarting.
So I went ahead and made a Titanium backup of my phone, re-downloaded the latest AOKP build with Gapps.
booted back into TWRP 2.3.0.0 and Wiped the following
Cache
Dalvik Cache
System
Then I did the idiotic thing and wiped External Storage and System. However both failed.
When I tried to do a factory reset, it would fail stating :
E: unable to mount /sdcard
E: unable to mount storage
Im trying to install the AOKP rom and gapps but cant because I get the error
E: unable to mount /sdcard
E: unable to mount storage
I'm freaking out.
I don't know what to do.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to change sdcard to internal memory or choose internal memory. I think it cwm gives you that option to change the setting.
The TF101 doesn't recognize the external sdcard and it thinks you're trying to install from there. It can't find it.

I am currently on TWRP v2.6.3.0 and everytime I try to install a ROM or a recovery it starts with "Updating partition details..." then says "E:Unable to open zip file." and the installation fails from there. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Pls help ASAP

Also says, "E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'"
