Hi everybody,
I'd like to know what's ext partition and else...
for example all this :
- System: ext4
- Data: ext4
- Cache: ext2
- sd-ext: ext4 of 1gb
and how we do it and what's the use of it ? I've KYRRILOS 8.0 and G3MOD 2.0 OC
Thank you guy
I'm trying to figure it out 2.
I figured out for now that you can partition your sd card so you use memory on your sd card for apps(not internal phone memory).
Now I have problem to figure out how to set it up.
I also know if you have sd card class 2-4 you need app2sdv2 made by kyrillos13
and if you have class 6 or higher you need app2sdv3 also made by kyrillos13
I made partition of 1gb in CMW and downloaded app2sdv2(I have class 4 sd card)
you need to place it in on your sd card system/etc/init.d/
App2sdv2 and app2sdv3 are scripts for app2sd app.
There are some codes for terminal emulator wich is my emulator not accepting.
So I will join to you in search for an answer
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me.
I've got a HTC explorer, which is my fist smartphone and after having it for a few weeks I realised that if I wanted more out of it I had to root it.
So I've managed to root the phone (i've checked properly), I've installed Link2SD and I've even managed to partition the SD card using MiniTool partition wizard. I created 2 partitions, one FAT32 which is a primary and shows as active on MiniTool and one which is EXT2 also primary but status shows as None.
When I open Link2SD on the phone it has superuser access and it asks me to select the file system for my SD card's second partition, I choose ext2 and it gives me an error "Mount script error, mount script could not be created. Mount:no such device, ext2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition." I have tried FAT32 on the second partition and it tells me "mount: invalid argument".
All I want to do is have more internal memory so I can install more apps and not worry about the low memory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
When I instal Link2SD and open it for the first time it asks for the file system for my SD card second partition and I select ext4, but after always gives this error message "Mount script cannot be created".
The rom I'm using is CyanogenMod 10.2 by Rashed97 and Kernel 2.6.35.10.
Anyone can help me with this please, I tryed many things but didnt worked.
Problem resolved...
I've updated Superuser and rebooted the phone and after link2sd created automatically a new script and mounted the sd card properly.
Cant know exatcly what was the reason but worked.
But now I'm having another problem, Whenever I try to converte to User App I get this message "Failure - pkg: 7cache/download/****.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]
Anyone can help me with this?
Mount script cannot be created.
If you store the Link2sd application in your memory card, it will not able to link to SD. Move that application to internal storage and use ext4 as second partition. It is working in my Samsung Galaxy 4.
solved for me
i had the same problem but got it resolved by....
connected the SD and phone using USB cable
backed up my files
i formatted the SD card created 2 partitions using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager, one with FAT32 and one with Ext4
exited the Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager
DIDN'T safely remove the hardware from the taskbar
DIDN'T turn off USB storage
DIDN'T detach the USB cable from the PC
turned off the phone by the power button and disconnected the usb cable.
turned on the phone and opened the Link2sd app and chose ext4 and it created the mount script successfully
Hi all, same here, cannot create mount scripts.
MicroSD 32GB, recovery TWRP v2.7.0.0, rom CyanogenMod 11.0.0-RC11-p500.
Formatted SD-EXT (1024MB, no SWAP partition) in ext4 and now ext3, the mount scripts are not working.

Tried ext4, ext3, ext2 and even fat32... Not one of them works.
There is an app similar to Link2SD but working?
Or how can I use SD-EXT to extend the space for apps?
Thank you.

same issue here
Had similar problem also ("invalid argument" message). Problem in my case was that my CWR formatted to ext4 by my ROM do not want to work with ext4. So I used "mini tool" and formatted to ext3. Connect in CWR to PC and format , reboot, create script, ....
I solve the problem by not using the SD-Ext.
I'm guessing that this is something none of you are aware of as I don't see it mentioned in any of your posts...
Link2SD will fail if there isn't enough free space in /system.

For others who find their way to this thread
It appears this is an issue specific to the device - and that is an "unknown" until you try. I tried the above also - with minitool partition manager and easus partition manager and none of the partitions worked with Link2SD. Then I downloaded and installed app2sd (all in one tool) on the device and used the partition tool included with it to reformat the second partition. Be advised the app2sd version from google Play was full of absolutely ridiculous ads that I had to constantly escape and back out of or "X" out of at the top right or left corners - to get back to use the actual tool itself.
1. Ext2 format failed with an error (tried it twice even after wiping the partition)
2. did not try Ext3
3. Ext4 formatted successfully - but the mount script of Link2SD STILL failed
4. FAT32 formatted successfully - AND the mount script of Link2SD worked
I then uninstalled App2SD - and hopefully all the ads it brings
It should be noted even after successfully getting Link2SD working - it could not "move an app" to the SD card because it reported the device - a Teclast x70R was using "emulation" - but Link2SD reported it could "link" and move some files to the SD of some programs. I suspect the reality is the FAT32 file system has something to do with this as it cannot carry the permissions needed by UNIX type Operating Systems.
Others have said the EXT file system partition must be the first partition on the SD card; and while this had proved to be true with a PC hard drive when trying to install OSX as a dual boot Operating System - on my Android device it simply resulted in the SD card being unmounted - or failing to mount at all
It should also be noted that the minitool and easus partition managers COULD NOT successfully format the second partition of the SD card apparently either - because Windows technically only will recognize the first partition on a removable SD card type drive - apparently true even though they both reported successfully formatting the partition - when in fact it was ONLY AFTER reformatting using the app2sd partition tool did I get meaningful error messages - and/or that the FAT32 format of the second partition actually worked in Link2SD
It is another example of "go figure"
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!
I have an LG F3 running Jellybean 4.1.2 and have almost all of my apps linked to sd card via link2sd.
I cant see or access any of the apps. However, I can see/access pics & music on the sd card.
Link2 sd shows "SD Card 2nd Partition" as unmounted.
I tried to recreate mount script in link2sd, selected ext2 but got "mount script error. mount script can not be created. mount: invalid argument"
How do I get it to mount?
I cant access the playstore or keyboard since they're linked to the sd card.
HELP!
