I can't remember what rom it was for, but I had to make a partition for ext4 or something. I think I upped it to over 1024mb, but I don't know if there was a default before that. Hopefully that clears it up a bit

1024 is good. That is where I partitioned mine for ext4

easy sd question

Okay, just got a new 8g class 10 sd card... do i need to format it with a fat 32 part and an ext? For my g1 i had a fat32, ext, and swap...
Depends on the ROM you're using. With stock and CM7 you're fine with fat32.
thanks. So if I want to switch around ROMs I should put an ext partition on there?

Links2sd

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

With Valhalla Final, L2sd, and absolutely no bloat at all, it's easy to keep that much free space. I move everything i possibly can to sd.

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

Do I need to partition my SD card prior to using the app, or will the app do it on its own?

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

[Q] 16 GB SD Only Shows 14.7 GB???

The 16 GB Samsung SD card that comes with the phone is showing that I only have 14.7 GB of memory including both of my partitions, do i need to have it replaced or can this be fixed?
Thanks Ahead of time
It's because of the movie that comes with it. "inception"

Freeing up space on sd card

So I'm trying to free up some space because i only have an 8gb card, and i want to download the new Batman game, which takes up a lot of space. So my question is, are the lost.dir files needed? Because they take up a lot of space, but i don't know what to delete
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
You can delete them but they will keep coming back
If your lost.dir is taking up any space (past the directory itself), you have had filesystem corruption problems on that volume. That directory is used when the OS can't repair the filesystem and puts "orphaned" directories and files in there.
