Hi All,
I have Cyano's current stable rom up and running perfectly. The only hitch is I did not have my SD Card formatted to Ext2 or Ext3.
What is the best method for changing this under the current rom? I know you cannot run apps2sd (which formats the sd properly) with Cyano's build.
Whats the best method?

Have Cyanogen's recovery?
Partitioning from recovery console -

you can partition the sd card from terminal and from console now i believe, using parted.. do a search in the dev section for the how to's.
Is it possible to revert the Linux Swap and Ext Partition of Sdcard????
Explain?
Do you mean to remove the partitions?
use parted in the console of your recovery. you can delete the partitions and modify your fat32 to take up the whole card if that's what you mean.
Will upgrading your ext3 to ext4 format your SD card ?

I have made (approximately) 512MB ext2 partition and used INSTALL.EXE. But haret gives me "no filesystem could mount root" and reboot.
Any ideas? Tested gingerbread and CM6.1. Both gives same results.
Possibly bad SD card?
You also prepared a linux swap partition of 64 MB?
And did you make your fat32, ext2 and linux swap primary?
If those are the case, then it should work afaik.
Else you might want to try a different SD card yes.
Nope, i just had primary fat32 and logical ext2.
I have recreated the way, you said and it works. Thanks!
Glad to see I helped, have fun with android!

You must set fat32 primary in first partition, and set ext2 primary in second partition, Important! ext2 primary must less than 512MB！Just format Fat32, don't format ext2.
I want to install RunnymedeMod and it requires that I have a 1GB Ext4 partition. I have an 8GB SD Card...
I use Minitool Partition to create a 1GB Ext4. I apply the changes... I take the ROM zip file and put it on my SD card. When I go to the Recovery to install it, I go to chose the Zip file and it isn't there...
I boot my phone back up and open my SD card's file on my PC. When I look, the partition is no longer there and the ROM zip isn't on my SD anymore... it is getting frustrating.
Any helpful ideas?
The reason you can't see the 1GB partition is because Windows cannot read ext partitions. I suggest you install 4ext recovery, then create an ext2 partition and then upgrade it to ext3 and the lastly ext4. This is your best bet to make sure it's partitioned correctly and smoothly.

So I have touch 4Ext Recovery... when I want to create partitions it says First Ext and Second Ext and then Swap size.
I have an 8GB SD and I need a 1GB Ext4 partition.

First ext: 1gb, skip second ext and skip swap. Then upgrade to ext3 and lastly ext4.
