[Q] Problem with ext4 partition on my memory card

I have kingston 32gb memory card, class 6.
I maked 30gb fat32 & 1gb ext4 partition through gparted.
Everything seems to be ok. But it's not. Ext4 is not working. Like it's invisible.
When i refresh memory card I get some error sign near ext4 partition, and when i click for more information:
Anyone knows where problem might be?

anyone with solution?

hi
looks like you want to do the same thing than me but ... as i learn at this time, there is no way to use ext4 partition on external sd card, just with some tools on internal sdcard.
android doesn't have script and code to mount under /mnt ext4 partitons just FAT32 !!!!!!!! great

[Q] About sd-ext location

Couldn't find the answer to this, but can someone do su then df -h in terminal
and find me sd-ext location.
It should be mmcblk [#] p2 or similar.
This should ONLY show if you partitioned your sdcard with EXT parition
Thanks for who is able to tell me

If you want an sd-ext partition, you need to format it with 2 partitions.
The sd is shipped with an fat partition only.

That's why you partition using recovery. And I'm no noob to android so I know exactly what I'm asking for

I didn't say you are a noob.
I prefer to partition with gparted instead of recovery, but it's a matter of taste^^
The sd is mmcblk1.
The first partition on your sd is mmcblk1p1.
Depending how you partition your sd the sd-ext partition is mmcblk1p1 or mmcblk1p2.
And btw the -h switch isn't usable at the device

Sorry for judging. It should only be for cm7 that's why I'm asking
I'd rather use recovery as it's easier

[Q] EXT4 partition of internal memory using gparted

Hi guys!
I have installed CM10 Alpha4 on my i9003. The question I have is this:
Can I reformat the internal memory to EXT4 using Linux (gparted), or I have to use some script/CWM?
I currently have:
1. System partitions in YAFFS2 (made by the installation of CM10 Alpha4)
2. Internal memory in FAT32
3. SD in FAT32
Since I only use Linux I was thinking in using EXT4 on my phone, because I like Linux's file systems (and, of course, all its advantages)
I'm assuming the SD card will not be a problem if I reformat it using gparted.
Thanks in advance!

If you're talking about system partition, I'm afraid MTD partition doesn't support EXT4.
If you're talking about internal memory(which we can store data inside), I think can, found some article about this but you need to use some apps though.
EDIT: it seems like our phone won't mount EXT4 partitioned sdcard, so you will need to use some apps like app2sd to do the trick to actually store data in ext4 partition.

Oh, what a shame... but, hey! That was very helpful and I learned a lot. Thank you! :good:
EDIT: ops, I read it before you edited it. Yeah, I thought we were not talking about the same partition. It's the internal memory.

[Q] How to mount entire internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) as /data

Since I'm using a custom ROM that make the External (bigger: 14GB) SD mount as the default /sdcard, and internal (smaller) as /sdcard2 or something I don't really need it and would much rather like to mount it entirely as /data
.. something similar to this script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 except that it "Mounts **/sd-ext** to /data" but I want to mount /mnt/sdcard2 to /data
. How do I do that?
Problems: I've found that Android would neither let that internal partition be ext3 (it switches it back to FAT even if I somehow manage to format it as ext3). Nor would it mount /data to a FAT partition. What can/should I do?
