The swapper setting for it to not get corrupted when mounted is
sytem/sd/swap.swp
Right Because im going to mount my G1 via usb and want to make sure i dont corrupt my sd
/system/sd/swap.swp ... Yeah, that's it. Or do a swap partition (see my sig)

you will not corrupt you sd card with swapper on your fat32 partition. the corrupted partition message is a false positive if you restart the phone all is well. i dealt with that message for 3 weeks before moving to the ext3 on the sdcard cause i was tired of restarting my phone to get rid of the message. now i use linux-swap partition it's a whole lot better. if your using jac 2.63 that built in to the rom you just have to create the swap partition. but having the swap on the fat32 will not corrupt your card
so i just downloaded apps2sd from the market and used it without having an ext2 partition.now the only space i have left on my card is 680M instead of 1gb. so i need help to restore my sdcard back to 1g. can someone please helpme
Just reformat your card back, but are you wanting to use apps2sd?
Format your sdcard, it will be back to 1gb.
I would suggest downloading the cyan recovery img 1.4.
You can partition your sdcard through the recovery console.
I lost my sd card data flashing a rom. Could not mount it even thru recovery. Got a card reader, but it won't format it.
Using Mini Partition Tool to troubleshoot. I am not at a point where it shows three partitions. The main 16gb unallocated, logical. The ext3 unformatted 500mb, primary (think I did that by mistake when trying to recover partition). And a 32mb unallocated, logical. All zero used memory.
I need to get back to one partition allocated, primary. Then I can get sd data back on it and reformat thru recovery.
Again using Mini Partition Wizard
Any help please!
OK,
I got it repartitioned as primary and formatted, bu sd card from pc now.
Hope phone recognizes it.
Will update, if I need further help.

If you want a good program to format your sd card, try SD Formatter.
Download and install that, plug in your sdcard into your sd card reader and format it.
Choose Full Erase On (if possible) and Resize On. It will format your sdcard to factory default and that means even the ext partition will be gone too.
Well, all transferred. Still won't mount. Says can't mount either of the dev/blocks mmcb1k0p1 and mmcb1k0.
Staus bar says sd card damaged.
?????
musashiken,
Thanks, typing while you posted. Based on my last post should I still do that?
Ken
Yeah I think you should try to reformat again with the program I suggested, as that will full format your sd card.
Once done, put your sd card back to the phone and create ext partition in recovery.
At work now but will be working on it.
Thanks
Ken
musashiken,
Thanks, appreciate all your help
That program worked, and I am back up and running
Ken
Glad it worked for you. My sd card kept giving me problems and I have to use this every few rom flashes.
I have a similar problem. I installed a new 32 gb SDHC card in a CDMA Hero running Cryogenmod. All was working well for about 10 days, then I got an error that no SD card was found. I had the original card and tried to get to the Clockwork recovery, no luck. Finally, through Rom manager, (flash alternate recovery to Ramon, then back to Clockwork, I was able to boot into recovery.
I still cannot format the new SDHC card, through Recovery, Windows 7, or the Panasonic program listed above. The Windows format option sees the card as a FAT 121mb card, so does the above program. Is this new card toast? It came with a lifetime warranty from Kingston, but I am mad that it did not make 2 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If sdformatter did not work it may be bad.
I always had good luck with it.
Did you have all options set per instructions?
Hey guys I Just got a new 16GB sd card and partitioned it with Amons Recovery. I then transfered all the files from my old sd card to my new one. Now, when I boot my phone I get a infinite boot loop with a mini nexus logo ongoing. If I put my old one back in it works fine. I am running Rod Style Miui.
Any idea?
Be aware of your type of Ext partition (ext 2 or 3,4), maybe that could cause the problem?
Were you running an A2SD partition? If so, when you swapped out your SD, you swapped out your Data partition, thus SERIOUSLY confusing your system. I would swap in your original SD, Nandroid with Clockwork, then partition the new SD the same size or larger on the new SD (if you have not already), followed by copying the contents of the nandroid to that new SD to restore the External partition (advanced restore).
Should/may work.
sorry if I missed it, but did you format sd card before partitioning.
sdformatter from web is good, you can partition with it too
I have looked for this information but haven't found anything that seems very good. So I thought someone here might have know how to get this done.
I partitioned my SD card and since then my computer doesn't recognize it when I connect it through USB. Not sure if they are related but figure I can always partition it again.
I remember reading that formatting my SD card will not remove the partition. So what is a good way to get this done.
Thanks in advance
Gparted should help you do it. You will have to remove the partition and then reformat it. Just be very careful that you are working on the SD card and not your hdd... if you are familiar with linux, this should be pretty easy.
Use ROM Manager to Partion the SD card and change it back to a FAT32 partition.
That worked for me.
Just boot into recovery and choose format SD card if your using RA or Darchstar's recovery never used cwm so can't tell you that one good luck
