Hi XDA
I have this strange problem...
I flashed cool hd v9 via rom manager also installing alignment_cool.zip
Now i want to install the cool hd v9 data2ext requirering me to have a 768 MB ext4 and a 256 MB ext.
The problem is that when i boot Ubuntu 10.10 and start Gparted, only 6.62 GB fat32 shows for my 8 GB sd card. Their is nothing else, no ext nor unallocated space.
Can anyone help?

Did you try backing up the contents, formatting the card, and then moving what you need back over?
Yes.
I have tried repairing it and formating it to fat32 with windows, and after that opening it with GParted, but it still only recognizes the 6,62 fat32 partition...
Im on cm7 and i just reformatted my sd card by going to settings/storage/erase sd card. It formatted but now every time I click mount it says blank sd card and doesnt mount. Also it wont recognize when I plug it into my computer with the data cable. Thanks.

Hello
Just got my new Lexar 32gb micro-sdhc class 10 card. This comes formatted as fat32. This is unpractical because when movies and such surpass the 4gb limit.
How do i go about formatting this to something else? ext4?
There's no options for this in honeycomb.
Looked trough clockwork recovery and i only find /sdcard witch i suppose is the internal storage.
Anoyne have a clue?
if your movies and such surpass the 4Gig limit, then you're not going to be fitting very much on that 32gig card.
I'd also question if they are encoded in a format that will actually work/play back well on the Xoom?
That's not the point. I want to be able to transport large files if i have to.

Well, I use my 750GB Passpost HDD for really big files. Works fine with the OTG cable.
The point is. The card formatted as FAT/FAT32 doesn't support files over 4GB.
On my Nexus one i just formatted the card as ext4 trough CW. Can't find an option i CW for formatting the SDHC card / external1.

Sorry to give you answers you didn't ask for. I'm assuming you no longer have your phone to use for formating. There is an application from a third party (I want to say Panasonic?) that you can use on your pc to format the microsd. Don't use Rom Manager to format the sdcard or you will be in a world of hurt, as you so astutely realized...it will format your internal storage.
Still have my phone I'll use that. Thanks for the idea
I have rooted my Nook Color (Blue Dot) with Clockwork, and CM7 Nightly install from 11-16-2011. I installed all the OS data on the internal memory in the Nook. I have a 8GB SD (Class 10) card that that I used to do the root, but now when I try to mount the SD to use to install apps to it, I can only get 1GB as SD Card and the rest mounts as /mnt/emmc. I can't seem to get it to mount the whole card as SD. I have tried using a partition manager on a Windows and Linux machine to partition it, but that did not work. Is there something that I am doing wrong? I want to be able to use the whole card mounted since I use apps and a 512 MB Swap file. One thing that I thought it may be is when I rooted the Nook I used the the 1GB image of Clockwork 3.2.0.1 since I could not find a 8GB image. The only 8GB image I could find was of CWM 3.0.2.8. I don't think that that would be the problem though. You guys have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. MODS, you can move this to the Android Forum if needed.
nevermind misread your q

That is how CM roms mount the external SD cards.
So I won't be able to mount the card and run more than 1GB of apps from it? Or is there a way to mount it and run the apps from /mnt/emmc. Also, when I remove the SD card, the mount of the SD card at the top (the 1GB one) stays mounted...should it?

Yes the one that stays mounted is your internal storage system. If it only has a max of 1gb then that is all you can store on it. The only way to safely unmount the the internal storage is in recovery as it is not using it but it is not advised. You can find an app that will move apps to SD card and have some bigger apps on there but mind you widgets will not work if the app is on the SD card. Here is a screen shot of my device. The 1.3 gb is my phones on board storage and the 29.81 gb is my external 32 gb sd card.
Ok, thanks for the info. What app is that that you took a screen shot of, and off the top of your head, you know of any that will flip the apps to the SD card? If not I will research it, I am sure it can't be to hard to find one.

The app is android assistant and depending on your OS version apps2sd should work. I know never versions of the OS has the ability built in
Ok. I tried Link2SD, but it said it was moving it to the SD card, but it moved it to the 1GB mount not to the /mnt/emmc where I have the 7.5GB of free space. I will try the apps2SD and see if that works. Thanks a lot bud.

Ok, no worries. I will continue working on it. if I find anything out I will post back. Thanks for your help.
I figured it out...
If you have the "Use internal storage" checked under CyanogemMod Settings/Application CM7 will mount the SD card as mnt/emmc and create a 1GB partition and mount it as mnt/SDCard. If you un-check it and then reboot, the SD Card will be mounted as mnt/SDCard and the internal partition will be mnt/emmc, allowing you to use the whole SD Card for storing apps, while still being able to store the apps on the main internal partition. I am glad I figured that out, now I can load more apps, and use the swap file.
