can anyone provide me with the terminal commands to formatting ext2 partitions
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
that's assuming you want to format the 2nd partition of your sd card to ext2
this requires e2fsprogs -- check here if your build doesn't have them
if you want to partition your sd card use SDSplit
if you want to reformat your already existent ext2 partition run this in terminal
su
rm -r /system/sd/*
reboot

rm -r /system/sd/*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this does not format the partition -- it removes (deletes / unlinks) all files in that directory or file system mounted there.
fairly substantial difference, but your suggestion may, indeed accomplish what the OP set out to do if that's all they wanted
What's the console command for deleting the contents of the ext partition? (\system\sdcard)
Can you reformat the ext partition from the recovery console?
Thanks
If you want to delete the contents of your /sdcard then in recovery console mount /sdcard then rm /sdcard/* should do it for your fat32. To clear your ext3 do in recovery console mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
I am trying to mount my SD card via console in recovery, I get
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument
Any ideas whats wrong?
In recovery you can try:
mount -a
to just mount everything. Try that out.
Are you trying to copy files to the sdcard or the extX partition? It looks like the ext partition because that's blk0p2...
The sdcard would be ums_enable.
This post will interest many. a few days ago my internal memory is physically dead, the memory (16GB) is partitioned into two, /data (~ 2GB) and /sdcard (~ 14GB). Not having these partitions the phone can not save settings or user data.
Symptoms:
* Internal sd corrupt (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845708)
* (I/O) error in factory reset
* mmcblk0p1 y mmcblk0p2 does not appear in /dev/block/
* Boot loop
* E: can not mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 in recovery, or updating rom
* You can't install applications, since /data does not exist
Please I need your help to move the partition /data to external sd memory (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2).
I Create two partitions fat32 (/dev/block/mmcblk1p1) and ext4 (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2) and edit the fstab file and vold.fstab. the system now recognizes the FAT32 partition of the external memory as internal memory but the partition /data does not mount the second partition of external SD.

The busybox df-h command shows that the first partition is mounted, but the second partition is not listed .
I've tried everything, and what I see is that it requires more knowledge. Not whether to build or edit the kernel or some file.
I appreciate your help, since many users have a higher Know-how on this topic.

I tried to edit the initramfs folder to edit files lpm.rc init.rc and fota.rc, i download many kernels to remove zImage and edit images and package them again, but does not work, not that I'm doing wrong.
Someone who has worked with the edition of the kernel can help me build or rebuild a file with the new changes.
hi
I would like to mount an ext4 partition of the SD. If I mount it with a terminal emulator, I can only access it with the terminal-app. Is there a way around this?
