Hi !
I just installed the Lag Fix in my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B and looks like it is fine.
As far I understand, the lag fix patch formats the internal SD as ext4 to have more stability and speedy.
So I am wondering if the external SD card would have similar benefits if I format it as ext4 too.
I don't have a spare external SD to check it my myself, so if anyone could provide any information, would be nice.

Hi
I have an external sd card and i want to have a second partition in ext4, to put somme date on it (larges files)
i read and test since 15 days and what i can said is
you need to have a first partition (primary in fat32 on the sd card)
the second partition in ext4 is not seen by android os !!! I mean, there is no way to mount automaically these partition at boot and use it.
I have found a old lagfix from mimocan which mount external ext4 , but it is to store applications as we do in sdcard. I do believe we can use for data but it is old now we have kernel and rom with ext4 in native mode and i don't find how use ext4 on external card for data instead of program (with link2sd for exemple)
link2sd or app2sd only works with internal sd card !
regards
I have just rooted my Lenovo A690 android phone. I am trying to move files to ext2 partition in my SD card using link2sd. When I open the app and choose ext2, it says" Mount script cannot be created. mount: No such file or directory. ext2 may not be supported in your device. Try FAT32 in the second partition.". I have already tried to change the second partition's file system to FAT32, but still unsuccessful.
.
Please help me!
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"
I made an ext3 partition on the SD card so I could move the apps to the SD card. But when I create the mount script, it works after a reboot. I reboot again to find that my ext3 partition hasn't mounted on boot. So I go to Link2SD and it asks to create the mount script again. So what I understand is that the mount script cannot be used during boot. What should I do?
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!
