Card doesnt have any problem ext4/ext3 are just partiton type just like fat32/ntfs
Try any other recovery as i have twrp has some issues regarding partitons.

Did you use minitool partition wizard? if that so, you must've made ext partition logical..it should be primary..Or try partitioning using recovery.

I think it creates ext 3
But i would recommend using minitool partition wizard (a computer program [google it]) as you can choose the type of partition and you can also delete a partition if you want whereas in CWM you can only create but not delete
Running the latest version of A2SD on my EVO Shift w/ the Supreme Sense ROM, but when I execute a2sd convert-ext4 I get "invalid command". Ideas?

Ok. I have TWRP Recovery installed. But I'm not clear on what to do in order to convert my SDCard...
[EDIT]Disregard above. I just did a nandroid backup including sd-ext. That *is* my SDCard, correct?

sd-ext is on the ext3 or ext4 partition
if youve never done it before. under twrp
Advanced Menu -> Partition SD Card -> Partition SD Card ->
from there set the size for your swap partition, and then the size for your sd ext partition- and it will let you choose ext3 or ext4

Appreciate your help, kendotelie! I'm completely ext4 now
Np. I'm glad I did. I love that my apps don't disappear when I mount the usb storage

I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to format my android sd card, I split the first half to be fat32 and the second half to be ext4, when I do that though the ext4 partition doesn't stay... I even tried twrp to partition it, to no avail it said it wasn't able to create the ext4 partition but the fat32 partition was made successfully.
**NOTE**
Apparently, you need a swap partition to be able to have ext4? Well, I created one and now everything works fine and dandy, before I didn't have one and it worked great...
You dont need swap for ext partitions.. there is no connection between them.
I dont know much about those tools but if you create partition through recovery.. first it makes ext2 partition later you need to upgrade it to ext4.

If I could post link I would, but since I cannot mostly because to the site I'm not a developer (stupid rules) and claims I cannot post anything truly helpful, so as an effect cannot post links to my recovery.
My recovery (ZenGarden 2.0.2.7-T) can create an ext2, ext3 and ext4 partition; the use chooses which format and because of Windows limitations you cannot have more then two partitions on an external drive.
What is the difference between ext2, ext3 , ext4 ?? and what are they actually??
I have 8gb class 4 memory card. If i need to make 3 partitions (sd-ext, sd-data, sd-cache) for installing a rom and a kernel in my pico, how much space should i allot for each partition?

well, make both partitions as ext3 if you want to mount external partition in recovery.
I'm using sd-data as ext3 & sd-cache as ext4 & I can mount it in recovery, nandroid backup also works.

use aries kernel 3.5, works for everyone.
which one is better? ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32? and using what tools I should partition the sdcard?
I am using cm9.2.2
before that, I partition sdcard with Amonra Recovery with ext2 and use link2sd and have a problem, some times sdcard removed unexpected, when I reboot sdcard is not read, I pull out the sdcard and insert, and sdcard read normally. I reboot and sdcard not read again, I do this many time and finally can read sdcard. but it happens over and over again. I try to format the phone and install app, move app like unrooted phone, the sdcard work fine..when I try use ext2 with link2sd some times its happend again.,
help me..sorry for my bad english, I am Indonesian.
thank you before..
If you want to know what other people use to do this here I come:
How I make the ext partition:
Minitool partition wizard (windows)
Gparted (Linux)
Clockwork 6.0 (only for CM10+)
I didn't have any trouble with that programs, but be careful with the Clockwork because formats ALL the SD card, the ext and the fat partition, so make sure you do a backup of the SD.
Format of the second partition:
Always ext4
Link App
Link2sd is the best, other caused troubles over the time (reboots, not reading the sd, not reading the ext partition, etc)

I used ext4 in all CM from 7 to 11 and no trouble, but always formatting after every wipe with gparted or minitool, because Clockwork 5.0 seem to not format well the ext partition, so after every wipe you should reformat with those programs.
From my experience use ext3, it is good and compatible with everything, allmost

EXT4 has a tendency to corrupt
(At least for me )

Ext4 works great.
(Partition it with AmonRa recovery for a 100% guarantee of success, buggs with clockwork)
