Okay, I have a few question about roms and kernels and ext 4 actually.
When flashing a new kernel, what needs to be wiped?
When going from one CM 7 to another what needs to be wiped?
What is the point of making an ext partition. If I don't have one, do I need the EXT 4 "hack" that makes io faster?
Which kernel is known for best battery life?

All of your questions and more can be answered here except the ext partition one.

EXT Partitions Vs EXT hack are two different things.
An EXT3-4 partition on your SD card will allow you yo setup apps2sd or dalvik2sd which would free up space on your internal /system/ partition an possible make your phone run faster (possibly).
The EXT4 hack remounts your /system/ with perameters that remove certain safeguards that protect data. Removing these safeguards allows for better I/O speeds.
Hi
I have a 32 Gb class 4 microsd card and I want to have the ability to get files greater than 4 gb there (need bigger images for LinuxOnAndroid).
Have checked that the kernel is compiled with support for ext2 ("cat /proc/filesystems" shows ext2) but when I plug in sdcard in ext2 or even a flash drive with ext2 through USB-OTG it says that the fs is not recognized.
Probably, something should be done with fstab or I should compile and copy some kernel modules? In kernel config ext2 seems to be compiled to kernel so should be no need for modules
What can I do?
Thanks
Yess, I have the same problem. Devs, people, please create a kernel for N8000/N8010/N8013 and other Galaxy Note 10.1 that will be able to mount such filesystems and there are OTG cable issues with the firmware. Please include all of these fixes in one kernel. I want to see something like the Siyah Kernel which was made for SGS2 and SGS3
Thanks
Some success
Got the sdcard mounted with
mount -o rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/extSdCard
but in this way the note still says it has no sdcard. At least i can read it with filemanagers
I'm not sure if you can load updates that are out, but both OTAs in the US fixed exFat support on the 8013 Note 10.1.

I want ext2, not exFAT as my primary system is Ubuntu and moreover Android is more like Linux than some Microsoft stuff
My N8000 has support for exFAT as sdcard fs, but why not ext2?
Why not go for EXT4 instead of EXT2?
There hasn't been much need for this at the moment, if you ask a dev nicely they might look into it. I'd probably look into either the sgs3 forum, note /note 2 or sgs2 forums for devs who have done this on other devices...

ext4 has journaling enabled... anyway I don't understand how ext4 will work when ext2 can't in this situation.
Have been searching the whole morning and found a lot of threads there. All unsuccesfull or unexpectedly ending
I read about f2fs partitions format, that its faster file system than default. Is it worth a play in formatting? Are there any visible results?
I have Tab 2 5100 10" 3G

I'm after trye. I can say it couse more problems than improvments. I found problem with camera - cant connect to hardwere, problems with internal memory. I back to normal ext4.
F2FS fine, but hoping for BTRFS
My usage is much more minimalistic than perhaps yours, but I recently completely formatted by GT-P5110 to F2FS (apart from my microsd) and while I have yet to do any comparative benchmarking I have also not experienced any problems on Codename Lungo with AGNI's kernel. Phoronix has done plenty of benchmarking between EXT4 and F2FS with each providing benefits over the other is certain areas. To be honest, I would much rather get BTRFS onto Android and play with that. I have used it extensively on Arch Linux and it can be dialed in very well for flash and further can provide compression and will eventually support in-band deduplication.
I tried F2FS with CM11 and Blackhawk kernel and I got too many problems (no stability, no camera) and didn't see improvments (mainly in benchmarks). Then I'm back to EXT4.

So I'm pretty sure I have my Wingray Xoom updated and using the new partitions because I have the new CM installed and running. But my issue is when I went to do the BigPart procedure the data partition wouldn't mount after switching over to F2FS so I have it in ext4. How do I get it over to F2FS because without it the tablet seems to run slow and choppy.

I'm am nowhere near an expert, but my understanding is that, while the BigPart TWRP is F2FS compatible, there are not yet any Xoom ROMS (or kernels???) that are F2FS compatible. Therefore there is no way to get F2FS to work on the Xoom at this time.

F2FS needs support in the kernel. F2FS is currently only supported in 3.0+ linux kernels. As I'm sure you are both aware we have a 2.6 kernel which is now prehistoric!
BRD looked into it and from what I gather said it couldn't be done without extensive work, schischu was looking into it last month I believe and deciding whether to take on the task.
We haven't heard anything since.
I would assume we will not get F2FS but we can always hope
Well even if there aren't any ROMs or kernels that support F2FS why is it that I can't mount data partition after re-partitioning it. Shouldn't I be able to format it and mount it anyway?

That's probably an indication that the repartition went wrong. Hop over to the bigPart thread and ask for assistance there. You may want to start over.
Hi guys can you say to me how I can run f2fs file system on s6? and is worth comparing vs ext4 on s6?tnks :highfive:

Firstly you need to have a kernel installed which supports f2fs, I think only arters kernel supports it right now. The process involves converting the different partitions from ext4 to f2fs within twrp, so like data and system, if you look at benchmarks f2fs is better than ext4 but I've never done it personally so cannot give too much info, but the above is a quick rundown in what's involved

It is safe to do, but as with all mods there maybe instances where you might get hiccups. Just be aware that you are formatting the partitions so you will lose data, so make sure you do a full back up
