I seem to have seen mention in some threads theat the GNote10.1 supports ext4, but when I put in a card formatted that way it pukes on it.
Asking me if I want to format it. So does the GNote support ext4? If ot what file systems does it support?
exFAT or Fat32. Never heard of it supporting EXT4...

Just got a class 6 16gb micro sdhc card for my AT&T Captivate (Galaxy S) and I was curious to know, what should I do with it, formatting wise? Should I just leave it as FAT32? Is it possible to format it to NTFS and use it in my phone for regular data/music/videos? Should I format it as EXT, and would it be better? I already did an EXT2 "fix" that used my internal memory, and I just basically want to use the card for additional room. Thanks in advance. I tried googling but wasn't satisfied with what I found, basically just a bunch of stuff about linux kernals and what they support and such. I have the stock rom.
Thanks again!
You can still access data/music/videos if your SDCard is formatted in FAT32.
As for which you should go with, that's upto you. If you are running an older ROM (<2.*) - you may want to think about partitioning your SD for ext2/3/4 (where your apps will be) and then FAT32.
If you are on a newer ROM (>1.6), you can format it as FAT32 and utilize the entire SD card.
(If you have any performance issues, you can always download Swapper and create swap-space for your phone to use, but you should be fine if you are running a Galaxy)
Thanks
Appreciate it. Always good to have some clarity.
Dont know if this have discussed yet, but for GX2 we still need to format SDcard with swap & ext3/4 partitions ??
No.

I want to format my microSD to ext4 for performance. My kernel (BAM Custom Kernel #14) supports ext4..
"Use EXT3 Filesystem For The SD-EXT Partition,To Avoid Any Errors While Backup" Thiz is the suggestion from developer. But I dont know how to do this

After you create a partition, it needs to be formatted to be usable. If you created the partition on your SD card by putting it in your computer, you have to format it separately. You use your preferred software to format, and you must specify how you want the new partition formatted.
If you create a partition on your SD card through your phone's recovery (i.e., CWM), it will automatically format it. I think CWM uses ext4 by default.

Does CWM support external SD card formated with ext3 or ext4? I considered exFAT and NTFS but none seems to be supported by CWM.
CWM can read partitions which have been formatted ext2/3/4 in your computer. I'm not aware about exFAT, and I highly doubt any recovery would recognize NTFS.
I can´t remember correctly, but I think few days ago I was not able to read a CM ROM from my external SD card that was formatted with ext4.
So, does Clockworkmod support ext4 or does it not? I badly want ext4 to avoid the 4GB file size limit of fat32.
Thank you.
EDIT: Now I know. I have CWM version 6.x from CM 10.2 nightly and CWM cannot read ext4 formated volumes. Though I read CWM was meant to support ext4!? Obviously it does not.
EDIT2: Today I was able to mount a USB drive connected to the phone that was formatted with ext4. I do not know, why I am able to mount this ext4 device now and why I was not able to mount my ext4 formatted sdcard.
