What recovery is best for ext4.. i am currently using the latest xm recovery but i heard there was a better recovery that supports ext4... i am currently installing the revolutions zip ext4 so it formats my phone before i install any rom.. does that make my phone ext4 or should i install another recovery system?

I was passing thru but I think I can shed some light hopefully. I don't know about this "xm", but if it's anything like the EXT4 Recovery or Clock work recovery, or amon_Ra...If the recovery is a EXT4 specific recovery it should convert the file system to EXT4 only[/system, /cache, /data] when ever you wipe. But you need to flash a EXT4 enabled ROM also to take full advantage, a EXt3 ROM[EXt3 is default on all roms w/o EXT4] will work on the EXT4 partitions, but won't be as fast.
4EXTRecovery, it's awesome, everything is working great for me, used it to format my paritions to EXT4 without losing any data.

Hi
I'm using the htc desire with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I wan't to enable data2sd . So first I made a a partition in the recovery 1025mb and 0 swap and installed the redux custom rom . afterwards trying to install data2sd. didn't work
so i wiped everything mada a a partition again and installed Supernova custom rom. Still there is only about 50 mb internal storage.
tried to make a partition with pc and clockworkmod.. no success.
please I try this for many hours now..
Thank you for your help I want to use my desire again
Your ext3 need to be ext4 clockwork mod cant convert ext3 into ext4.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard
if someone is still searching for this...
read instructions here try a ROM with full support: StarBurst ROM
I did a backup of my chacha. Since I also used Link2SD I have the problem that the extra partition is not mounted correctly after restoring the backup.
Some Apps that are on the 2nd partition still work, but Link2SD refuses to create the link again ("Invalid argument"). Some manual guides tell me that I should add some mount script to /etc/init.d - but there is no init.d.
So any chance that I get my backup working again?
when you restore cwm backup it make the 2nd partition ext3 format and that maybe not support by the rom you use
if you are sure that your rom is support ext3 try to uninstall link2sd and install it again and choose ext3
Well, CWM will format the partition with ext4, but I changed it to ext3 since I was sure that I used ext3 before and this was also supported by this phone. So I don't think that this was the problem.
I also tried to reinstall Link2SD but no change.
try to use it as ext2

Thanks. I couldn't believe it because i used it as ext3 before. But now I changed it to Fat32 and it works. I had to do the restore of the sdext.tar manually because CMW always changed Fat32 to ext3 then. And when I formatted the partition with CMW before it was even ext4!
[Q] Is Ext3 or Ext4 Partition for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1-Ultimate rom ?
Is Is Ext3 or Ext4 Partition for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1-Ultimate rom for galaxy ace s5830?
This is the post where they have mentioned it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1775257
Do we need Ext3 or Ext4 Partition for S3-Evolution-Beta3 ultimate only or we need it for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1 as well. Just to be sure in this case. Is it compulsory for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1 or we can do the normal wipe data and partition and install it from zip.
Can anyone provide me answer to this question?
which one is better? ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32? and using what tools I should partition the sdcard?
I am using cm9.2.2
before that, I partition sdcard with Amonra Recovery with ext2 and use link2sd and have a problem, some times sdcard removed unexpected, when I reboot sdcard is not read, I pull out the sdcard and insert, and sdcard read normally. I reboot and sdcard not read again, I do this many time and finally can read sdcard. but it happens over and over again. I try to format the phone and install app, move app like unrooted phone, the sdcard work fine..when I try use ext2 with link2sd some times its happend again.,
help me..sorry for my bad english, I am Indonesian.
thank you before..
If you want to know what other people use to do this here I come:
How I make the ext partition:
Minitool partition wizard (windows)
Gparted (Linux)
Clockwork 6.0 (only for CM10+)
I didn't have any trouble with that programs, but be careful with the Clockwork because formats ALL the SD card, the ext and the fat partition, so make sure you do a backup of the SD.
Format of the second partition:
Always ext4
Link App
Link2sd is the best, other caused troubles over the time (reboots, not reading the sd, not reading the ext partition, etc)

I used ext4 in all CM from 7 to 11 and no trouble, but always formatting after every wipe with gparted or minitool, because Clockwork 5.0 seem to not format well the ext partition, so after every wipe you should reformat with those programs.
From my experience use ext3, it is good and compatible with everything, allmost

EXT4 has a tendency to corrupt
(At least for me )

Ext4 works great.
(Partition it with AmonRa recovery for a 100% guarantee of success, buggs with clockwork)
