Hello, I am having an issue with formatting the sd card to have fat32/ext2 on my sd card. I followed the tutorial I have used minitool and easeus and link2sd still does not create the ext2 folder I keep getting this error mount script cannot be created mount: invalid argument who ever was able to make a ext partition on the sidekick 4g please help. The memory on this phone is too low and I want to use my sd card to install the apps instead. Thank you.

I need to partition my SD card and keep one of the partitions as ext3.
I resized the SD card, but i don't know how to change the unallocated space to ext3. I'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Someone please help.
It might be just easier to redo from start using this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/293461/how-to-partition-sdcard/
Cant we just use CWM??
edit: nevermind I decided to test that and ended up deleting my whole SD card. F*ck me -______-
I have an HTC Hero rooted with stock 2.1 firmware
I installed Link2SD and read through the development post on this forum but encountered and issue I cannot figure out how to resolve.
I reformatted my SD card with 2 primary partitions using MiniTool. I re-sized my standard partition to allow for an additional 400MB partition then formatted the unallocated memory to ext3 format.
So now I have 2 partitions that look like this in MiniTool (4GB SD card):
Partition FileSystem Size Status Type
-SDCard FAT32 3.30GB Active Primary
-AppsPartition ext3 400.06MB None Primary
(sorry cant get more spaces between words, dont use forums often)
I thought that was all I needed to do but when I put the SD Card into my Hero it just tells me I have a damaged SD Card. What do I do to fix this?
I just wanted to say I figured this out on my own. I don't know what the problem was but I reformatted the SD card from the Hero and it only formatted the SDCard partition and then I had to reformat the AppsPartition to FAT32 file system in order to be usable by link2sd and it worked.
No idea what caused the problem to begin with but got it resolved, that's all that matters right?
I had problems too until I formatted partition 1 as FAT (aka FAT16 - NOT FAT32), and the second as FAT32 or Ext2/3.
The key for me was the first partition being FAT.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has been able to make a second partition on their O3D/Thrill. I'm not sure if this problem I'm having is a limitation to the phone, or rom.
I'm using an LG Thrill with v20c baseband, Prometheus V1.4 rom.
I'm following this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
I have a 32gb micro sd. I've made my 2nd partition 10gb as ext2. When I put it in the phone it reads it, says it's ready to read/write media (in notifications bar). I then go to link2sd, it automatically asks me if the 2nd partition is ext2, ext3, ext4, or fat32/fat16. I tried ext2 and it says:
"Mount script cannot be created. mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:18 on /data/sdext2 failed: Invalid argument.
I then put it back into my computer and formated to fat32, same thing, then ext4, same thing. Each time I put it back into my computer Gparted sees the 2nd partition as "unknown", so I believe android is changing the partition type to something unrecognizable.
Well, being I haven't got a reply yet, I'll ask this,
Has anyone with an Optimus 3D partitioned their SD card?
Oh i did & got it worked but I stopped using the link2sd partitioning my sdcard, because somethings you should know. Well first, the sd has to be fat32 & when asking about the 2nd partition, chose fat32 and then reboot the phone. I tried ext2 or ext whatever just never work. After reboot and link2sd ask the same thing again, just pick the fat32 partion and reboot again. It worked for me after 3 reboot, strange don't know why.
Lastly, just let you know the 1st partition of the SD card won't show on your phone because theres already internal SD and external_SD folder only show the 2nd partition of SD card. But the 2nd partition won't show on your pc to transfer files, if you know what i mean. Like I wanted to use the 1st partition for music/movies and 2nd for apps (link2sd) but you have to partition the SDcard for the link2sd to work. So the external_SD folder is for 2nd partition, I looked everywhere for the movie on the 1st partition but never found it or maybe I should try root explorer...well I don't know maybe there's someone can help us out about the 1st partition OR maybe just my O3D SORRY for the long reading! lol
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.
I use a HTC Explorer running cyanogenmod 10.
Previously i was running stock ROM and using Link2SD onto my SD card. I then factory reset the phone and flashed it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847002. The partition i had made for Link2SD has now completely vanished. It was about 500Mb, now the SD card total storage shows a reduction in total memory of he same 500Mb.
Further, im not able to partition the remaining memory in the card to use Link2SD with either! HELP! What can i do?
