Hi,
I recently got myself a 16-gig micro-sd card on which I want 3 partitions:
1) 12gb (FAT32): Media
2) 2gb (ext2): Apps2SD
3) 2gb (ext2): Debian
I've been trying to make them with gparted and I can't create 2 ext partitions. Whenever I try to format 3, then 2 gets corrupted. Then I fomat 2 again and 3 gets corrupted.
Everything works OK with just 1 FAT and 1 ext partition. The problem comes when I create the two ext partitions.
Does anyone have an idea about what the issue is? Maybe it just can't be done?
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to install a2sd on polaris.
apps2sd is not necessary. when you flash android (to sd or nand) you can decide to put all data on an sd partition.

Format 1 Partition FAT32 in sdcard root path have /andboot
I explained how to install the following.
1. FLASH THE ANDROID OS LOADER TO NAND.
2. Copy this androidinstall.tar under a folder named andboot at the top level of your SD Card.
3. When you're done flashing, your device will boot.
4. to start the Android Installer.
5. I selected System on NAND, Data on SDCard.
prompt displayed "unmounted invalid data argrument"
you must create a ext3 data partition on your sd card so ad this to your how-to
0. create 2 partition on sd:
1 -> Fat32
2-> ext3
and then continue with your list...

Are you sure of that ?
this method doesn't work for me with last dzo kernel and incubus RLS5
doest ext3 has to be logical or primary ?
Yes, i'm sure, format your sd card with 2 primary partition. The former will contain the installation files (Fat32) the latter will br you data partition (ext3)

How are you guys formatting and partitioning your sd cards?
I tried using AmonRa on my Desire but it can't convert to ext3. I would ulitmately like ext4 (for large file sizes and journaling) but I need it to be readable by my mac.
So what file system?
What tool to partition?
What partitions? (any swap?, what ext version?, any FAT?)
i have already try with delete cache partition,but memory card shows only 3.1gb instead of 3.9gb...plz help me...i have done that partition by cwm recovery->advanced ext & swap partition...
Use a card reader and something like mini tool partition (google it)! Delete the swap, then expand the fat partition in order to have your 3.9 gb back!

Hi,
I'm back to stock firmware for my Galaxy Fit. I have two primary partitions on SD card. The second partition is formatted with FAT32 file system. But Link2SD app is not able to mount the second partition.
What should be the file system If I'm running stock firmware. Am I missing something?

Problem Solved
Since I was using custom ROM earlier the second partition was formatted to ext3 filesystem. I reformatted the partition with FAT32 file system using minitool partition software and it worked.. :laugh:
your primary partition must be fat32 while the secondary one must be ext
