I don't Know what difference will be obtained if i change from ext2 to ext4.
Anyone explain why to do that?
Thank you
It does make a difference if you are using Linux, but for android phones, I am not sure. The following link should clear all your doubts.

Ext2 should be more than enough.

Well, I saw this thread and I didn't want to open a new one for almost the same reason.
I'm running CM7 which supported ext4, so I changed from ext2 to ext4. But .... I didn't feel much improvement ....so, I want to revert the process. :/
How to do it?
Any tips?
TIA!

I'm not exactly sure if you are able to downgrade a partition. Converting upwards seems to be feasible, but downwards I don't think so. So long as you have a backup of your SD card, you can just restart the process for creating an ext2 partition.
You can turn off journaling and see if it improves ext4.

So...by typing this you get the journaling disabled?
But, I soooooo newbie in this, but isn't journaling makes ext4 be ext4? ^_^ , I mean if I disable journalimg then I gonna have an ext2 called ext4, ain't I right?

There are other benefits to using ext4 though.
If you used the extents parameter, files won't get fragmented so they would be accessed faster than on ext2.
In the other thread that I linked to, I got into a little debate with somebody who knows more about it than me. heh.
But if you read it, I found that if an app is is 5 mb, you can have it all together in one peice on ext4 (with extents) instead of needing to create the indirect mapping for 12800 blocks (without extents ) which means that the system will need to call the block allocator 12800 times.
Just seems faster with extents to me

Because you use the kernel for Captivate. Download the right i9000 version and you'll be okay. Trust me, this kernel is worth it. UV is so awesome and I never dropped a percent when in deep sleep.

Talon 0.4.3 non-O/C but slightly UV, all file systems on ext4.
Had to ajdust minfree settings with AutoKiller to 50/60/70 to get it really smooth though.
It's a good and fast kernel with great battery performance, but the current version has a small memory leak that will be fixed in the next release.

I don't understand, why this post is in Android Development section?
Second thing: I had around 90 MB of free RAM when I was using swapper, not a big deal.
Third thing: What do you actually need from devs/experienced users? New swapper, swapper partition tutorial or what?
I was hoping that the pros would help me solve this rare occasion,so that we can always have 100+ free ram,maybe like a real swap partition or something,and I did say 'RARE'

You first need to create main storage. Fat or fat32
Second create sd-ext
Third create swap partition - 128mb good
I respect to the members who respect to the other rest.

Not a good idea..
All roms here support ext4 filesystem which is much faster than fat32 even with swap..
Best never use swap and format the sdcard as ext4 in CWM recovery...
As the title suggests, is it possible to run a SD-EXT Partition on a Class-4, 8gb Memory Card?
What are the issues that i may have to face?
Is it reversible?
PLEASE, Do not tell me to buy a new one
Thanks in Advance!

I read somewhere that it was irreversible! Thankyou for confirming it as false
Anyway could you provide a link to the complete procedure? Like from partitioning to using a good script? And do you suggest EXT3 or EXT4?

Best and quick way to partition would be via ClockWorkMod Recovery and it will automatically use EXT4 which is better.
And I would recommend Link2SD, no problem with it so far for me.

hey.... since your using a class 4 sd card remember not to flash new roms frequently as sd extension gets formatted every time you flash a new rom... and if formatted too many times your card is surely going to get damaged soon ... i'm saying this because i've faced this problem !!!
press thanks if i helped !!!

I could really notice the difference on the sense-based roms with a 300mb system swap but since I've switched to cm its hard to tell really. Maybe its because the swap already installed gets priority I'm not sure.

Well I've always left my cache untouched because my system partition has a lot of free space but they say cache is slightly faster although you probably wont notice it.
