Common problem... You have to first flash a Bali kernel, restore back up, then flash a gb kernel. Do all of the above before rebooting

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

i fixed the battery issue but i cant fix the recovery AKA cache mount error in recovery
im still working on it, also i found a way to convert back to rfs so you wont have the recovery cache mount issue but you also wont have ext4

Ive been screwing around trying to get my partition for ext4. And I was able to change my cache mount to mount and now I'm not receiving the cache error. Dont know that I did anything to help it along but my phone seems fine other than the OC problems which are minor

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

Kool ill stretch this baby out on 1.2ghz and work my way towards something a little higher. Also I made a note to try those settings next time I try 1.5ghz. Its wild though at 1.2ghz my quadrant scores are in the 1800's all thanks to your easy to follow steps. Thank you sir

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.

so thank you very much smokey!
also your saying that your ext4 right now, but you dont have the recovery issue?
ive only made one back up and it was on my ext4 sgs4g and im still having the recovery issue even after making some cache adjustments like godofwar did
hmmm need to figure this out

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

Can't Mount/ No system

I've been trying to get the phone back to a normal state so I can start over. I had problems after flashing GB and Valhalla. The first time I flashed Valhalla all was fine except the phone icon in the apps drawer was gone. Then it started to soft reboot constantly and not recognizing the SD card. So I did the ext4 format etc and re did it and all worked except it kept soft booting again.
Now when I load CWM it says
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
and so on..can't partition..restore back up
And Linda complains as is that the system is not available.
However I can still connect it via 'mass storage' and see the contents of the SD card and whatever else.
The phone will boot into now what is...
T959VUVKC1
2.6 Bali
FROYO.VUVKC1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129933
Flash that if you want a clean Froyo ROM to start off of.
If you want to stick to GB, follow my GB starter pack guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
Well I some how managed to get GB and Valhalla back on. The only problem I had was it was soft reseting when I was trying to install busybox through the market and other apps. I discovered that the SD was not recognized. I then just disabled lagfix and it seems to be working fine as of now. Will disabling the lagfix affect anything else?
Well it'll lower your read/write performance on the /data, /system and /cache partitions but if you've never used the lagfix before you'll never notice how fast your phone can go. . If you follow the guide I linked you too, you'll have everything set up correctly.
i have the same problem as the op. i wasnt ever in gb but it has the same mount error..
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
so on..
i was told it was because of a "bad motherboard"

I cant restore my backup via CMW cuz there is an error "Error unmouting /system!" after i soft-bricked my phone.

Unmount /caches
Mount /data
unmount /sdcard
unmount /system
how i do make mount work for /system?

CWM recovery doesn't work with gb. You'd have to flash back to froyo. I've been able to do an advanced restore with data etc but not /system.

Not necessarily true. Just need to flash Bali kernel, restore nandriod, flash back cwm kernel.

When i reboot my phone it wipe all that i saved

Hey guys, i didn't found my problem in other topics, so i opened a new .
So here is the deal, i have the Kisadworx ROM installed now in my Samsung galaxy 3 i5800, and already tried the Kyrillos and both of them have this same issue. When the phone shutdown for low battery, i put it to recharge and when i boot it, it wiped all i have saved. Apps, configs, widgets....just everything. i have no clue why...some one have faced this issue before?
Note: when i enter in recovery mode and try to wipe data/factory reset it shows a message:
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/last_log
I don't know if this error is related but ok ....
Plz someone could help me?
I had this issue days ago, and it happened to me while I simply only turned off and on my phone.
This is probably caused by bad data and cache(?) partition or by bad (wrong) filesystem used. Try re-flashing STOCK rom eg. XXJPQ and over it custom rom of your choice. If the problem persists, try flashing custom kernel (g3mod) and convert file systems like this:
stl6 - ext4
stl7 - ext4
stl8 - ext2
I never had any issues with g3mod kernel's recovery with theese filesystems.
In gingerbread ROMs I had never issues with data or recovery.

Do you have an ext partition on your phone?
I got into similar problems with the scripts related to ext partition long ago
I too get the recovery error and it is not of any problem to us . This is solved by using g3mod kernel
hey guys, i followed as twinky444 said and it apparently worked. I reinstalled the stock ROM but a got the samsung bootloop, then a tried again and i made it, after, i installed the kyrillos 10.5 and it''s currently working, with no problems of data lost. I think it was some corrupted data problem. Thank you very much guys

If youre going from ROM that uses other filesystems than stock samsung's RFS filesystem such as ext2, ext4, so by flashing the stock ROM causes the bootloop WILL be there. (because the stock kernel doesn't support other filesystems than RFS) You need after flashing stock ROM pull the battery, reinsert it, reboot into recovery by pressing 3-keys combo and then "wipe data - factory reset" in recovery and then "wipe cache partition".
After this, the /data and /cache partition gets either mounted again or reformatted (not sure) with the rfs filesystem and the system will be able to boot.
BTW/little hint: You can see for couple of seconds after flashing the stock rom the phone boots into recovery, shows a couple of lines and there are 2 lines that are RED and say something like
DATA: blablabla... !
CACHE: blablabla... !
This process applies to the ROMs such as Purumod, Kyrillos and maybe others what have other filesystems used than the one used by the stock ROM (RFS).
Thats the description of the "bootloop" problem.
BTW... glad we could help and this has been fixed!

EXT 4 FS

Is there any way i can change the file system to EXT-4 so that i can get the clockwork mod or can i do something else?
Now mine is RFS file system....
