Alright, I'm having issues with Link2SD. Many others are as well, from the results that came up in a google search. Seems each "solution" is different for multiple people, and I'm getting a lot of contradictions.
I own a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 (Mt3L03 variant) on 4.3, rooted and running stock, kernel version 3.4.0-g1fcc1aa, bootloader unlocked via a code from Huawei themselves. I've tried AParted and Minitool Partition Wizard. Some people say "Use the Windows partitioning software!" and some people say "The chances of errors with Windows is higher, partition it on your Android!"
I've been at this for several hours, over and over, reading countless threads, trying various methods and settings. I tried creating the ext2 partition first a few times, just for funsies, but no luck there. So I've been mainly doing what I assume is correct, partitioning FAT32 first, then ext2. Or ext3. Or ext4. I've been through it all. I've partitioned ext2 (and others) as quite large, up to 48000mbs. I've partitioned it quite small, down to 800mbs. I've added swap. I've done it without swap. I've left empty space. I've filled the whole card. I've partitioned only FAT32 (or ext2, or others) and left the rest blank. I've created 2 FAT32/FAT16 partitions. I've used Link2SD as a user app. I've used Link2SD as a system app. I've rebooted again and again and again and again and AGAIN. I've selected the file system of my sd card's second partition as ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT32/FAT16, and f2fs (tested ALL on EVERY attempt, just to be certain). But after everything is said and done, no matter how certain I am that I finally got it right..... every stinking time it comes back with "Mount script error // Mount script cannot be created. mount: Invalid argument". Good lord I am ready to tear my hair out with this thing! What on earth am I doing wrong? Does it have anything to do with /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ? I've also tried GL to SD, DS App2SD, and App2SD, but ultimately I'm not satisfied with any of those. I just tried this: http://techtriosonline.com/2014/11/p...-minitool.html Followed it EXACTLY. Still the same issue.
Also tried with AParted. Annnnd still the same issue. I should also note that in the configuration, I've attempted to changed /dev/block/mmcblk1 to dev/block/mmcblk1p2, and I get the warning "Detected internal device memory! To complish the new DDR of google, AParted can't work with internal partitions or gpt table types. One version with no limits will be maintained in the Aparted web site".

Its pretty simple (at least I hope so):
Partition wizard is fine for preparing your sdcard. Put the sdcard into your cardreader (not the phone!) and delete all existing partitions from the card. Then create one "primary partition" formatted as "fat32". Once done resize the partition meant that you decrease it by the amount of space you need for your EXT4 partition. in the way that the unallocated space (e.g. 1024MB) is behind the Fat32 partition. Then create a "EXT4" partition in the empty space. This partition must also be a PRIMARY partition. or Link2SD will NOT work.
Put the sdcard into your phone and install Link2SD

Ah man, I can't tell you how happy I am that someone (you!) actually answered me about this, I've been going everywhere on XDA today. And no worries, I've been using a cardreader, leaving it in the phone just sounds like asking for trouble. And yup, tried that already. Just to repeat back: I made the card partitioned to FAT32 first. Then, after that, I resized it to free up 1024MB. For the first attempt with this method, I tried EXT2 because I wasn't certain if my kernel supported EXT4. And I made sure that the EXT2 partition was behind the FAT32 one. They were both made primary. I made sure my phone was off, and after Minitool did its magic and finished up I put the card into the phone, and rebooted. I launched Link2SD (after clearing its data first, so it would act as a fresh install), and got the onscreen prompt, and selected EXT2. And boom, once again was the annoying mount script error. I tried again, wiping the card and doing everything over identically, except trying it with EXT4 (because why not, eh?) and selecting EXT4 when Link2SD prompted. Same error. I would give it a go (with a smaller card) in my Sony Xperia Z1s, but I thought I read somewhere that Link2SD and Sony doesn't play nicely with each other..? Mainly, I would only want to try that to rule out that it's not user error, but rather an issue with the device. For that matter, I've also got an old Samsung Galaxy Proclaim on 2.3.6 that is also rooted. Perhaps if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll see if I can get it working there. Unrelated side note: How strange that my old Proclaim can read 64gig cards, but my Xperia freaks out with anything above 32! :laugh:
Alright, heres an update for this thread.
The mount script is successful for my Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, but is not on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2, even when the process is done identically.
Wondering why Link2SD seems to hate my HAM2 so much.

I've struggled with my cheap/no brand 64GB SD card now for days but I finally succeeded. Hopefully this works over the long haul. We will see.
I have an L34C with very limited internal memory which is why link2sd became essential. So I purchased a 64GB micro SD card through eBay for less than $8..00.
At first I tried to follow the various guides to partition the card using either Minitools/Easeus and even AParted on the phone. Every time the second partition (ext2/4) was added at the end, the partition table got corrupted and then showed file system "other" instead of ext2.
Finally I decided to try the GParted Live CD under Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox (32bit Linux) using the ISO as the boot device. Obviously booting the live CD directly via CDRom/USB works as well but I didn't want to always reboot.
Note that I used SDFormatter to initially low level format and verify that the card was good.
After many trials and errors I got it to work. The key seems to be that all partitions need to start in the first 32GB. This leads to the conclusion that the large fat32 partition needs to be last, before any desired SD card overprovisioning.
As link2sd insists that the ext2/ext4 partition is the second partition, I created a small 32MB Linux swap partition first. I then added a 6GB ext2 Apps partition directly followed by a 48GB fat32 Data partition.. The remainder is unallocated for overprovisioning.
I finally marked the fat32 partition "active" by setting the boot flag.
Before inserting the card, I cleared the link2sd cache and data and then turned the phone off.
Note that in my case link2sd, after the initial reboot, preferred the ext4 check mark for the ext2 partition.
I hope this helps somebody.
I dont understand what you did here. May you explain please.

I didnt really get what the steps where to partition my sd card. Like you i have a cheap/no brand 64 Gb Micro Sd card and im unsuccessfull with partitioning it. May you please help me. And in advance Thank You :good:
First let me state that my initial SD card was a Chinese 64GB "fake". Check if yours is also one with RMPrepUSB. Fakes report themselves as having 32GB or 64GB capacity whereas, in reality, they only have a fraction of the reported capacity.
I then purchased Silicon Power SD cards with 32GB and 64GB capacity. I then followed the procedure mentioned above and everything works just fine.
You are brilliant!
I have been having the exact same problem and have spent hours pulling my hair out trying to overcome this issue. Your fix was brilliant as so far it seems to have solved the problem!
One note, I was trying many different methods of partitioning and formatting. This method WILL NOT work with the Aparted app. Mini Tool was the way to go.
Thank You!!!
OK - Here's the thing...
OK, I did this and even posted how it finally worked and got rid of the "mount script error." However, it now seems that because the fat32 partition is now third in line, it looks like Link2SD is now trying to save all the data on the ext4 partition and not the fat32 partition.
When I do the "Link to SD" operation, it seems like it's putting everything on the second partition which is the ext4, but I don't see a change in the space used on the fat32. Am I missing something...?
Maybe the device can't support ext2...
Hi, I got similar problem with you. I've also tried to do partition in reverse order, swap first, then ext2, then fat32. It didn't work. However, when I select repair for the ext2 in Aparted, it said
The super block cannot be read or does not describe the correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the super block is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b8193 <device>

Will your method works on a 128gb sd card?
I was doing this in fact today, after reading this blog. I was having a helluva time because my Sophone i6 Plus has no regular Settings app, it's laid out like an iPhone Prefs app. The settings I needed are usually under "Storage" in a regular settings app. I was able to repartition my 32gb card on-device with aParted, but I could NOT get Links2SD to detect it, even after setting up the 2nd ext4 partition.
Mainly, after setting up the partitions in aParted, you have to switch your main write disk to internal before rebooting, else Link2SD will spit out whatever you have done. After the device reboots, the main write disk will be set to your first SD partition. After that you should be able to start Links2SD and it will prompt to set up your ext4. Then, Apps2SD will stop give you the message that it can't find the 2nd partition. Scroll down to the bottom of the blog and then the bottom where the comments start or use this link, my response should be visible. It's just a question of doing things in a specific order.
One thing that is mentioned in the tutorial is that for large cards, you should not use Fat32 for the main partition, but ext2 instead.
I've been trading a few emails with Vicki the creator of apps2SD. The best way to set this up is to link the user apps to the SD card but keep the data, the internal data on the internal partition. She said you can put the external data on the SD card but I kept both on internal and everything runs great now.

Hi this is really the solution for creating the 2nd partition for app2sd or link2sd and also the solution for partitioning sdcards larger than 16gb i tried my 16gb with normal partition method and i was mounted at first time but my 32gb and 64gb they just wouldnt mount so this is the solution for it i tested it and it works tested on ICS 4.0.4 and marshmallow 6.0.1
thank you very much for this solution i had been hammering my head for the last 2 months

it works for me as ive been getting the the partition ext2 showed file system "other" instead of ext2 as well, try many ways didnt work and finally got my sd card working now!!! thank you so much!!! :good: but instead of link2sd i used apps2sd as link2sd i still get the mount eror
Great!! This worked perfectly for Link2SD. But now the FAT32 3rd partition isn't showing up in any of the file explorer, backup, etc. apps. What did I miss or still need to do? Thx.
Still lost
Okay I might be a complete dummy but I'm still not understanding or maybe I know it's just not working for me if you could tell me I'll maybe put a picture of the partitioning using minitool from left to right size of the first primary partition size of the second primary partition size of swap file size of any damn thing for that matter it seems you guys tried to explain or try to help but you explain it in a matter that only makes sense to somebody who does nothing but this I'm a old slow and it's stupid truck driver but I would really like to get my SD card working so I can have more storage I do like to play on these things please help

Hi sorry sorry would you mind doing a tutorial on YouTube please this would be most helpful. Thank you in advance.
Hi guys,
I want to partition my 64GB (I know, 59GB actually) microsd card into 2 x 32GB FAT32 partitions. I've tried to do it in windows, using MiniTool Partiton Wizard like I did with other microsd cards until now, but without success: the tool creates two partitions but the 2nd one is not usable (it does not have assigned a letter); any attempts to correct this were futile.
Can this issue be fixed somehow? If yes, how?

Start over, get it back to one unallocated partition, then use the Aparted app from play store.
Or you can try this

Thanks for your reply @Droidriven!
I've managed to create those partitions: sdcard1 and sdext2, both FAT32 and having 29.5GB each. First partition (sdcard1) is working flawless: access speed, read, write. The 2nd one...
The 2nd one (sdext2) has an issue - I cannot create files (.txt), in root or in other subfolders. However, I can access it, move data to it from the other partition or from the internal sdcard and I can create folders and subfolders. In android's settings->storage menu, my external sdcard is shown as it has only 29.5GB (out of 59GB) but nothing about partitions.
Is this a permission issue (platform.xml)? Can it be fixed?

I don't know what your issue is, maybe because one partition is the primary partition. Did you choose all the same options when you set the second partition?
What android version are you using? Lollipop and Marshmallow do have permission configurations that are a pain, especially concerning extsd permissions.
I'll see what I can find, can't promise I'll find you an answer though.
The partitions' settings are identical, with the sole exception that one has to be the primary one. The microsd is new and tested with a few software programs to be sure it's not a fake (it's not).
I'm using AOSP 5.1.1 and yes, I believe there is a L permission issue.
Don't worry a bit regarding this issue. If you or someone else will find the solution, it'll be great, if not, life goes on.
Thanks anyway for taking your time!

I tried fastboot format userdata, and when i get into twrp the internal is around 24gb in which around 1.5 gb is used. Then i would use twrp's format data option and then it will show 54gb, in which around 3gb is used.
This 3gb is showing as others when a rom is flashed and the storage option is selected from the settings of the rom. I have tried fastboot erase userdata and fastboot flash userdata userdata_64GB.img with no luck. Anyone please explain to me why this happens and how can i get rid of that used space. Also i would like to know why after formatting using fastboot , the internal shows only 24 gb.
Thank you.

Did you ever read about this lost space in all phones?
The 32GB phone comes with 24GB only usable, because of the space taken by (system, data, cache..) and other partitions, same for 64GB phones, and other phones as well, 16GB phones come with 11.5GB usable only for media, 8GB phones come with 4.5GB.
It's pretty much like when you buy a 8GB flash memory or SDcard and you get 7 and a few more.
It's normal, don't bother about that.

Thank you for replying. I know and understand that a portion of the total storage space will be taken up by other partitions. But the size of my internal sdcard storage( userdata partition) is 54 gb/64 gb, and out of that 3 gb is always shown as used up. If i connect my op3t to the computer while in twrp, it will show that 51.3 free out of 54.4gb, even after formatting the internal using fastboot and twrp. This 3 gb data loss is my concern. Kindly reply.

try using a space usage app to identify what is exactly taking that space, maybe "DiskUsage" app.
