Hi, can I mount /cache (and maybe /data) to dedicated SD card partitions ?
Maybe this can help to save eMMC from corrupted partitions?

Hi !
I just installed the Lag Fix in my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B and looks like it is fine.
As far I understand, the lag fix patch formats the internal SD as ext4 to have more stability and speedy.
So I am wondering if the external SD card would have similar benefits if I format it as ext4 too.
I don't have a spare external SD to check it my myself, so if anyone could provide any information, would be nice.

Hi
I have an external sd card and i want to have a second partition in ext4, to put somme date on it (larges files)
i read and test since 15 days and what i can said is
you need to have a first partition (primary in fat32 on the sd card)
the second partition in ext4 is not seen by android os !!! I mean, there is no way to mount automaically these partition at boot and use it.
I have found a old lagfix from mimocan which mount external ext4 , but it is to store applications as we do in sdcard. I do believe we can use for data but it is old now we have kernel and rom with ext4 in native mode and i don't find how use ext4 on external card for data instead of program (with link2sd for exemple)
link2sd or app2sd only works with internal sd card !
regards
Hello,
- is it possible to mount /data on the external sd?
- how can i do it on boot time, is there anything like /etc/fstab on android?
Thanks
I have kingston 32gb memory card, class 6.
I maked 30gb fat32 & 1gb ext4 partition through gparted.
Everything seems to be ok. But it's not. Ext4 is not working. Like it's invisible.
When i refresh memory card I get some error sign near ext4 partition, and when i click for more information:
Anyone knows where problem might be?
anyone with solution?

hi
looks like you want to do the same thing than me but ... as i learn at this time, there is no way to use ext4 partition on external sd card, just with some tools on internal sdcard.
android doesn't have script and code to mount under /mnt ext4 partitons just FAT32 !!!!!!!! great
Since I'm using a custom ROM that make the External (bigger: 14GB) SD mount as the default /sdcard, and internal (smaller) as /sdcard2 or something I don't really need it and would much rather like to mount it entirely as /data
.. something similar to this script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 except that it "Mounts **/sd-ext** to /data" but I want to mount /mnt/sdcard2 to /data
. How do I do that?
Problems: I've found that Android would neither let that internal partition be ext3 (it switches it back to FAT even if I somehow manage to format it as ext3). Nor would it mount /data to a FAT partition. What can/should I do?

hi, all!
I got a problem, after formaitting and partitioning FAT32 & ext4 my microSD,
I connected it to my android device (KitKat)
*For all who wonder, I did fixed the "kitkat sd problem".
Well, when I want to create mount file, I choose ext4 in Link2SD it says "can't mount: read only file-system".
I found no way to get my sd fixed as read-write!
any help? THX!
