I have a Motorola Droid. I'm looking to create partitions on a 16g sdcard because every time I try to mount the card in custom recovery or rom manager I get message E:can't mount sdcard /dev/block/mmcblk0. I've been trying to do this through fdisk through adb and I can delete partition 1 and to the prompt to create new partitions but don't know size/space I should allocate to the Fat32 primary, or ext2 and if I even need and ext 3/4? Any help would be appreciated.
I made an ext2 partition in my sd card to use for data2sd (titanium). I guess since it's all about linux, I need to add an entry in /etc/init.d/ . Can anyone tell me what's the proper command syntax?
I know that this problem has been discussed before but I want to know the following.
I partitioned my phone using CWM and set a swap file (partition 512Mb, Swap 256Mb) using CWM, But when I browse through root/ I'm unable to find /sd-ext folder.
My problem is that I need to make a swap file (using RAM Extender) But if I make the swap file as such in the SD Card I will be needing to disable every time I connect to USB Mass storage, so I would like to do a partition in my card and Mount it in /sd-ext folder a create a swap file there.
I found that the folder /asec and /extasec exist in /mnt folder with 220 mb space each, can I use it for swap?
Can Anyone Please Help Me?
This phone has swap partition by default.

Ok first off i am infact a noob.
So heres the thing after rooting and removing almost everything i could i still do not have room to install apps even when link2sd move over to the phones fake built in sd card.
I am unsure how to do what i am asking or what info is needed but one issue is the phone has an internal memory of 1gb mounted as /sdcard
then my 16 gb class 10 sd card mounts as /sdcard/_ExternalSD
i did follow a thread of trying to use link2sd with a fat32 and an ext4 partition but in doing so the phone lost its ability to see the fat 32 partition and only saw the ext2 partition
so that attempt failed me.
my system and my data mounts continue to loose space after installing a few apps.
Now i live the flexibility of the droids but the major design flaw is the limited file system structures i removed almost all stock apps installed dolphin mini and holo launcher plus as system and removed stocks..
so my question how can i use my phones true sd card mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD for storage of apps and my phones fake sd card /sdcard for storage of the data mount ? can i possibly reassign space using some kind of secret partition manager to increase the data mount and sys mount and remove space from the fake sdcard mount?
Or how can i regain the fat 32 partition in my phone when the symlinks to the ext4 partition are holding up and working as intended
Im using a straight talk LG Optimus Logic (LGL35G)
It has no access to a recovery menu that is disabled all i can do is the basic wipe userdata with the vol down pwr and menu.
all changes i made to system remained root stays all sys apps i assigned stayed. no option for firmware update ect...
More details .
formatted 16gb class 10 sd to 10 gb fat32 primary and 6 gb ext2 primary
the fat 32 partition does not mount because the link2sd is confused by the existing /sdcard mount from the phones 1gb internal memory... and i dont know how to mount it or what to change to allow it to mount or what the mount should be called

But i am unsure what to do still and the partitioning sd card failed to work as needed.
does anyone have a work around or a mod to the link2sd script that can correct the loss of the fat 32 partition?
after moving apps to phone thin link2sd the symlinks holding after reboot

I am bumping this topic because I have the same problem.
I am not quite a noob, ever android phone ive gotten my first steps have been root then set up link2sd, and I've never had any issues.
But with this LG Optimus Logic, I just can't get it to work.When I have 2 partitions, both fat32, the phone only sees the smaller of the 2 partitions and link2sd shows that partitions as the 1st and 2nd partition. When one is formatted as ext2, the phone sais the sd card is blank.
Someone has ot have answers, this is irritating. Low disk space after installing a few basic apps.
maybe there is something we can change in the build prop making it so things mount differently. remember doing something like that on my epic 4g touch and motorola photon
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?
