how to downgrade from ext4 to ext3 in recovery?

I want to downgrade from ext4 to ext3 without having to reformat my SD card so i can use the doctors eclair ROM. What are the commands to do that in recovery?

EXT2 partitions question

I have 2 256 Mb ext2 partitions on a 8GB SD card.
Do I have to select (data.img and system.img) or (system and data on SD partitions) as the install options?
Also, will I have access to the remaining fat32 space for music and data after that?
Thanks!
The exact options are:
Sys on SDCard Partition
Sys on EXT2 System.img
Data on SDCard Partition
Data on EXT2 Data.img
I have left out the NAND parts

Sys on SDCard Partition = the ext2 partion
Sys on EXT2 System.img = the fat32 partion (will have system.img on root of sd card)
Data on SDCard Partition = the ext2 partion
Data on EXT2 Data.img = he fat32 partion (will have data.img on root of sd card)
The options are a little backwards but once you remember it works out. Yes you will have access to the fat32 partion.

EXT2 system.img and EXT2 Data.img are in andboot/***.img not the root of the card

[Q] what does creating a EXT4 do?

what does creating a ext4 partition do and is it better to add more memory too it?

ext4 is just a partition on your sd card used for storing apps and data. some roms can only read ext2 some ext3 and some ext4 later ones can use either 3 or 4 so just depends what rom.. i usually do 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4 and FAT32/rest

what do you suggest for youre rom?

ext4..........

I mean memory size wise

alfs suport ext 2/3/4
check with a partition tool the sd,must be
Fat 32: primary(above 1024mb)
ext2/3/4: primary(max 1024mb)
and if you have swap: logical
For better results reformat your ext2 to ext3,backup your sd card first
I have a 16gb sd and 1024mb ext3 primary partition and it work
25 apps installed some of them in internal and my free internal space is 201 mbs
No need link2sd apk just move each app in settings/manage applications/to sd and automatically they moved to ext partition

Can't sent to ext(i have ext2)
I already test it

backup your sd card to a pc folder and repartition to fat32 primary and second primary ext3 512 or 1024mb
or you can also partition your sd via CWMrecovery
All actions it will format the card so BeCareful
