You have to be rooted, then use Root explorer.
Cranky...

I'm trying to move my a2sd partition to a new sd card but Im not having any luck. I have the card partitioned. I copied my old card onto my Linux desktop then put the new card in my computer and copied the files onto the ext partition. When I turned on the phone it is not recognizing the apps on the card. I had to move the folders over using root access on my desktop. Once I had the files moved over the folders were showing up but had an "X" on them. Can anyone help? I really dont want to have to reinstall all of my apps.
I rooted my Desire, yesterday and installed Leedroid. When I start the phone it 'prepares the sd card', but then tells me that the card is read only.
What did I do wrong and how to fix it??
I've run into this a couple times when a file becomes corrupted on my sd card. Try to copy the contents of your card to your computer, if a file is corrupted a warning will pop up. Delete the corrupted file and your card should mount again. There are other possible causes, but you could try that.
Some how my SD card does not show the update file. I'm able to copy the update zip file to the sd card, I can see the file if I search the card, but when rebooting with cw .8 the zip file does not sow. Any ideas why and how to fix. TX
Move the update.zip to a location in the internal storage of you gtab, then browse to it from cw.
I have already done so. I have flash my G tablet since NOV 2010 multiples time, and never have any issues. The ZIP file is there, I can browse it it I use sniffer and es explorer and so on. But once I boot the system on recovery mode , it is not there anymore, cw does not find it.
make sure the file is .zip and not .rar.
roebeet packages his files in .rar
Still does not work, even after repacking files into a ZIP file.
Just a shot here, but by "SD card" do you mean your external/removable SD card? Because when Clockwork is talking about the SD card, it really means the storage partition of the internal memory. So, if by chance you copied the update zip to the removable card, you won't find it. If that's the case, connect your gTab to your computer with the USB cable and move it over to the internal memory. Should work from there.
Solved !!!. I just need to unzip the folder ans install only the "update" zip on the sd card since I'm using cw 8.
Is anyone else having problems getting full R/W access to ext SD cards? Tried freeing up some space and I'm unable to delete anything on my SD card? And without root I am unable to try the kk sd fix?

You should follow the guide it shows . select the root directory of the external sd.first time i pasted something to external sd with es xplorer it showed me the guide to take permission
I pressed the dots and selected show external sd and then selected the root directory of external sd.after that i could paste successfully
I'm having problems deleting files from my ext SD card, I cannot delete anything thing that is on the SD card.
Edit, just tried what you said with es explore and it worked, looks like I can't use dual file manager with this update
even if you Downdrade to 5.0.1 like i did you will face the same Problem , to fix this you have to give every app want access external SD root access and the problem that you Can not do that for apps that don't ask for root like torrents apps
It seems there is a security flaw when copying files from encrypted internal storage to encrypted sd card with third party tools.
I have installed a micro sd card and enabled encryption on external sd card. After every boot I get a notification that external sd is encrypted. If I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, I can see the directory structue and file names on the sd, but I cannot see the contents of the file, because they are encrypted. So far this is expected behaviour.
Now the unexpected part: sd card is installed in phone (no pc involved). I copied files with solid explorer from internal storage to encrypted sd card (side note: i noticed solid explorer cannot access the copied files). I reboot my phone and suddenly it says "encrypting files on sd-card" and a percentage counter went up while the newly copied files get encrypted? Huh !? Second test: I copied files with solid explorer from internal storage to encrypted sd card and shut down the phone, put the sd card in a card reader on an pc and - guess what - the copied files are unencrypted. They get encrypted after next boot in the phone. This behaviour does not occur, if I copy the files with samsungs integrated file explorer. Files copied to the enrypted sd card over mtp connection are encrypted immediately.
I have experienced something similar. I wanted to create a directory on encrypted SD card in ES File Manager. It displayed the message like "...will be created asynchronously" and zero length file was created instead. After reboot and encryption the actual directory was created.
It seems that third party file explorers like solid explorer or ES file manager can access those files/folders (created by themselves on encrypted sd card) only after the files/folders got encrypted after reboot. The flaw I see here is not only that files unexpectedly remain unenrypted on sd card, but also that files are written unencrypted at all and only get encrypted later. There may remain unencrypted parts of sensitive data that someone might be able to recover from sd card (with a data revocery tool).
Sounds like those developers need to update their apps to support Marshmallow's encryption. In the meantime, if you've got sensitive files to copy, use the built-in app.
It seems, that there is some scheduler running encryption over the night. I created a folder on SD card as usually - no folder, only empty file was created initially - and next day there was a folder; without need of reboot.

I tried the same yesterday. I copied a file from internal storage to encrypted sd card with solid explorer and the file is stored unencrypted with 0 byte length. 24 hours later it still remains unencrypted with 0 byte length. Maybe there is something else that triggers the encrpytion (except reboot), but not sure what it is.
EDIT: 48 hours after copying the file it finally got encrypted.
