Hi there.
I have a 32 GB SD card, which is partitiooned onto FAT32 and ext 3 for s2e.
I rebooted into recovery to flash a new rom, and went to wipe data, it all went fine until the SD ext format. It got stuck (waited 15 minutes then pulled battery off). Tried again, nothing. But SD card mounted fine on recovery. Flashed the rom without wipes, it didn't boot. Replaced SD card and it booted. Unmounted the other SD card on settings, and plugged the 32 Gb one, it didn't recognized. But: recovery did.
Then I remembered I took my SD card off to listen to music on my DVD before that, could've that messed up my SD or external partition?
Will I have to reformat it on PC?27 GB of data, oh god

No that wont make the sd card corrupt.. bt if some operation is going and if u hav removed sd card. That could make it corrupt. Bt u try magic partition n first try to format only sd-ext if possible.
Or u can also try some recovery tools to copy ur data..
If dat doesnt work. I wil try to search for u n wil try how to get it back
Hit thanks if that helped u:thumbup:

Tried formatting sd ext on mini tool partition wizard. It took about 2 hours and showed unfformated partition. Tried again, same thing.
When I was going to format the main FAT32 partition my cousin left and took her notebook but tried through CWM recovery and it got stuck...
It still mounts on CWM, the pc and my dvd...
I think I will try to put it into my moms nokia then format it, then try to format it again on CWM

That will not delete the sd-ext and swap partitions if you have them.
If you have a card reader, you can do it manually by using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I did it that way and had no problems at all, just watch out what are you doing

If they do not know what partitions are, then why would they make them on their sdcard anyway? If they can't make a difference between "Local Disk C", "NTFS FileSystem" (talking about Windows, Linux can create confusion) and "Removable Disk X" and "FAT", "EXT2/3/4", then i have anything other to say then - go to a roof of a building and jump off it

But every time i restart my tab and all apps which ive installed are away but if go.to settings and look at all my installed apps there are grey boxes with 0,00byte?
So how can i fix it must i create another partition? I was thinking that the ext3 is for stuff like save settings or app cache/data?
Must i edit any file in the root of my device?
Its really annoying :/
I hope u can help me

I understand you didn't take out your broken internal SD.
You just partition your external SD.
And not to ext4 but ext3 only.
Maybe that is all OK, I could be wrong.
But have you tried booting without your external SD?
I just suspect your external isn't being used.

I think that the /data partition doesn't work for me?
But how i can allow my ext sd card to write into the /data partition?

By removing your internal SD card like the other thread with success stories.
At least that is what I think you need to do.

Hmm but if i remove my internal sd must i flash the rom again or is the rom automaticly on my ext sd?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
No, I think the other thread has all the steps.
And I think you do need ext4, not ext2 or 3.

since you have already made a partition you will see 2 partitions, just right-click delete on both of them and create new partition of fat32 and follow the tutorial and dont put label ext2, put sd-ext.

Hello, I am new to SD-ext and Link2SD and such things, I googled around a little and found the most suitable solutions for the internal memory shortage of CM10.1 is either Link2SD or INT2EXT+
Now I want to ask, which is better at performance, more stable?
I would have went around experimenting as they say but the problem is that I don't know how to remove either of them, so please tell me that too, so if I didn't like one of them I remove it and try the other.
That's all for now, thanks in advance!
I would suggest int2ext, because effectively it increases the size of your internal storage instead of moving apps to sd. As long as you have a class 10 or better sd, you won't notice any difference in performance.

Unluckily I don't have a class 10 SD right now and I doubt my ability to get one for a while. Currently having a Class 4 16GB SD, what do you think would work best?

You can still use int2ext, but you will get a quite noticeable performance decrease. Just test it! To remove just go to system/etc/init.d, then you can just remove its files.

I actually tried Link2SD (With a EXT4) but it didn't read or create a script. I googled, people said use EXT2, so I just said, since it didn't work, let's try INT2EXT.
I flashed it (without removing Link2SD) and nothing changed...
I, just now, removed Link2SD and restarted: no changed.
What do you advice me to do? ((I think the problem is because this ROM doesn't support EXT4, but I am not sure of course))

Int2ext needs ext 4. After removing link2sd, you should reposition your sd to ext 4. And which Rom you have? Because current ones are all sporting init.d, so they support sdext.

Well, seems I should really change it from EXT4 to 2, I guess that's what I will try.
Thanks everyone so far! :good:
Since you have the latest CM10.1 nightly.. I suggest u try this..
Take a complete back up of your SD card.
Make sure u have uninstalled any apps and removed any scripts related to link2sd and such scripts. (When there's any doubt whether the old scripts would cause any problem, i always prefer wiping the device and freshly installing the rom to avoid any mistakes)
If u do not have any problem flashing the ROM again, i really suggest u to do so and then do the below steps. Definitely should work.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Go to advanced option and select SD partitioning option
Select the partition size as 1024mb and swap size as 0mb.
Proceed with partitioning.
Reboot your device.
Save fixed-int2ext+ for android 4.2..1 by CronicCorey on the root of your SD card..
Boot into recovery again.
Go to mounts and storage option and mount data, system and sd-ext.
Go to install zip from SD card.. Choose zip from SD card.. Select the int2ext+ script.
After installation.. Go to mounts and storage and unmount data and system and format sd-ext.
Now reboot the device and check.. It'll be done.
I have done this many times and it's worked. I use 16gb class 4.. No issues.. Smooth for me..
After installing this script.. Make sure u dont wipe dalvik cache using recovery mode. Your device will get into boot loop.. Use wipe dalvik cache script specifically created for int2ext by croniccorey..
