How do I get rid of this partition ?
Boot into Recovery and you have format sdcard... But attention you will loose all data stored on card.

Stupid question... What is the SD:EXT partition and what am I deleting by wiping it in recovery?
well, if ur using the old 2.1 apps2sd method, u'd have created an ext partition on ur sd card and apps are installed there... wipe SD:EXT wipes the ext partition on ur sd card and u'd lose all apps installed on ur sd-ext partition...
And if I'm not? I'm using Froyo A2Sd.
Then it'll do nothing... this will only wipe an ext partition on the SD card
In a few days, I will get my new sdcard, a 16gb one. How should I go about switching it the easiest way? I run ICS and it's partitioned to 1GB ext4 storage.

Copy and paste? You really don't need anything more.
I backup old card to pc (copy/paste as mentioned)
then use sdformatter outside of phone to format with full erase and size adjustment on
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht
this is a sure way to fully format card
then I put back in phone partition 1gb ext4 no swap
then copy back files from pc to card
don't know any easy way, but the best imo
If you're using SD-EXT partition and don't have access to Linux:
Complete nandroid backup in recovery (it will back up the EXT partition too).
Mount USB from recovery, copy everything from card to PC.
Power off the phone.
Remove the card.
Insert the new card.
Boot to recovery.
Partition the new card (1GB EXT4, no swap).
Mount SD in recovery, copy everything from PC to card.
Unmount card.
Full nandroid restore (it'll restore the EXT4 partition).
Reboot and you're good.
Just copying what's on your SD card to PC will leave you without booting OS and apps.
On Linux you can copy EXT partition contents to PC, and copy them to the new card after repartitioning. But if you were on Linux, you woudn't be asking...

Agree, a little faster way will be to backup only sd-ext from recovery and restore only it to new card.
BTW, new card is good time to get rid of old junks in sdcard. Copy only whatever is required.

Something got messed up in your sd card.
Reformat and repartitio it:
Use a card reader and insert the sd-card to your pc. Make a backup of all its contents (remember to include hidden files), and then format it entirely. Repartition it, then copy your backup to your sd card.
I am helping a friend to root her LG P970 and I am thinking to flash boybe's cm7.
Should I make any changes to the SD card partition? If yes,
What is the best partition for a 4GB SD card in my situation?
Thanks!
Put the card inside phone and format(options > storage > format). This is the best option, I think.
No need to format the SD Card at all (unless you want to get rid of the junk from some apps you won't be using anymore), no need to create partitions... Just put boype's .zip file on the SD card. Then go to CWM and do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. After that in CWM go to install zip from SD card and choose boype's.zip. That's it.. ofc you have to be on a rooted OB with patched CWM.
I get the error "unable to mount emmc" when trying to wipe data. I've tried repartition in Odin and countless other things. If I reflash firmware I can boot if I flash a fix. I can't remember what the fix is. Is there any fix for corrupted data partition? I really don't wanna store the OS in the SD card. I'd like to sell my device ASAP.
Anybody?
Somebody?
Hahshshhs
If you have a custom recovery try going to mounts and storage and formatting emmc from there...
The Internal NAND is dead. Get a microsd card, create an ext4 partition and use that as your /data
