Hi all!
Does a vanilla CM6.1.1 install mount the ext partition of the sdcard, if present?
If not, which file should I edit in system/etc/init.d, and with what?
Many thanks for your help!
I'm using only A2SD script
The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to use Link2SD, and I think that it doesn't mount the ext partition on boot, it expects that it is already mounted.

First of all, sorry for my bad english. I want to use an ext partition in my milestone, under [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.1.5 (Android 2.3.7) from kabaldan. I create the partition (primary, ext3) with EASEUS Partition Manager. After i download link2sd from market. When it starts, i see the popup of file system selection. I select ext3 from the list, and see the following error message: Mount script cannot be created. mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on data/sdext2 failed: No such device. Can anyone help me? Thanks for the advices.
Try creating an ext4 partition and this app: https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJ1LmtyaWt1bi5zMmUiXQ..
Worked for me
Ok, works with ext4 in link2sd too. thx.
Link2SD is great - thank's for mentioning it - I finally managed to get cache2ext to work in MIUI
Check this post it very simple. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Why does every tutorial tell you to delete all partitions?
I just resized my FAT partition and created an ext4 in the unallocated space - works like a charm and usually doesn't even require backing up data first.

Go to cwm recovery -> mounts & storage -> format sd-ext (It will format your second partition in ext3 format)
Reboot the phone and open link2sd and select ext3 as your second partition. If it still gives error go to more options in link2sd and recreate mount script and select ext4 and reboot phone
For full space problem, uninstall some unnecessary apps from /system and /data or move apps to sd card using Link2Sd

CWM Recovery v5.0.2.6 should have this option. I'm looking at it right now. Right below format /sdcard & Right Above mount USB Storage option is the option format /sd-ext
Anyway if you still can't find it in cwm, use minitool partition in windows to format the sd-ext partition in ext3 format. Link2sd has some issues in Jellyblast ROM in my experience. But it was solved for me by the method i explained to you in my last post. Also verify if you have got the latest version of link2sd.
Most importantly, please note that link2sd will only detect ext2 format if you are on stock kernel. It will detect ext3 & ext4 formats only if you are on Rafael's kernel

Hi all,
As the title says, I'm having a heck of time get anything to read the EXT partition on my SD card. Doesn't matter which ROM or which tool I use to format it nothing will pick up th EXT partition at all. I've tried the mini partiton tool on pc, CWM Recovery, and PX Recovery to format it and no joy. None of the a2sd scripts/utils (link2SD, s2e, Android Commander, MOBOROBO) will recognize the second partition or allow me to use it. Do I need to mount it through recovery manager or something? Any Ideas?

Normally you do not need to mount anything.
Just partition using CWM.
Strange.
hello
i want to know that if i partition my sd card then do i have to mount it manually or it will automatically get mounted after flashing cromod script
i mean to say that after partitioning if we use link2sd and open it it asks us to mount the ext partition in many formats like ext2 ext3 or ext4 then it mounts after a reboot i want to know that if i have to mount it with link2sd after creating second partition or it will automatically get mounted after flashing script
IF WE OPEN STORAGE INFO AFTER CREATING SECOND PARTITION IT SHOWS NOT MOUTED
WILL THE PARTITION BE MOUNTED AUTOMATICALLY BY JUST FLASHING CROMOD SCRIPT ?
By default, every recovery has premounted sd ext. To verify this, while flashing cronmod script via recovery, go to mounts & storage & there you can see that cache & sd ext are already mounted. So you needn't worry about anything. Just go ahead and flash the script and enjoy.

i have my ace running with a stock rom again since my wife is using it.
I have rooted the phone and flashed px recovery. After that, I wanted link2sd to mount the ext4 partition but whatever I try: nothing works.
when I try to mount ext 3 or ext 4 in link2sd I get this message: can't mount: no such device
when I try to mount ext2 I get this message: invalid argument
I have repartitioned and formatted both partitions already a dozen times. why can't link2sd mount this ext 4 partition?
i created the partitions using minitool partition wizard. After I placed the sd card back into my phone, I rebooted into px recovery, mount the sd-ext and formatted sd-ext, and after that, link2sd still gave the same errors.
How can I get Link2SD working?

I forgot that stock rom can't work with ext 4. Changing file system to ext2 worked for me and solved the problem (for now).

Are you sure Link2SD works well on stock rom? Because last time I checked it doesn't work well on roms without init.d support. I myself couldn't get it to work on stock rom. It crashed most of the time. Do post the result.
