You will have to use the partitioning tool that you used to try and make your ext2 partition. Make sure you back up your SD card, just in case.
If you want to remove the partition completely you can use the same program you used to create it. Other way is to back up your SD files and format it from settings-storage-Erase SD card. You can also format it from the PC, by clicking right click on the SD and then format.. If you want to wipe only its content and not the partition you can use Open Recovery MiniMod by -FuFu-.
Connect your sd card to computer by using card reader
U can use Acronis Disk Director to resize (or merge) 2 partitions.
Then use SDFormatter tp format it...i tried and success!
Hope you'll find this helpful!
Remember to backup your data first

Sdcard duplicate?

Here's the problem. I have got no cardreader. I got a new microsd card. I'd like to duplicate all the existing stuff on my current card onto the new card and use the new one. Do I need to batch tar all my files on my current sdcard and copy onto my host pc then place it on my new card and then untar the files?
How do I do this efficiently and problem-free?
Move everything from the sdcard to the pc by using ur phone and then put the new sdcard in the phone and move it there

the current sdcard partition is of vfat. The future card partition where I would like is ext4. Now what happens to all the permissions bits of those folders on a VFAT partition? Once I tar them the permissions will preserve but when I copy to an ext4 partition all the permissions bits are simply wrong and incompatible. How do I fix this mess?
u yourself know d solution! Thats the only way to preserve permissions...
Btw why are sd card permissions bothering you? They dont affect the rom
I will tell you why permission bothers me. Say for example one day my application works perfectly next day when I convert everything to a new microsd card thing does not work because of wrong permission. have you experienced anything like that before? Permission denied!
No it wont affect the rom but it will screw up my apps.
VFAT worldview of permissions is totally different from that of EXT4. So I wonder exactly what happens when I untar all these folders onto a ext4 partition?
Don't directly move the data to ext4 instead partition your card with vfat and ext4, copy your data to vfat. Check if everything works fine(if there's a problem, try fix permission from recovery). If no problem, activate app2sd that will allow you to move your apps to ext4. Using the same app that you used to move your apps to SD card move the apps back to phone, app2sd will automatically move them to the ext4 partition.
I hope this helps.

hi i just flash a cm9.1 stable which downloaded from cm main page
i found out that the external sd card is unaccessable, to be true, the card show no mount for it
there are some ways i did seacrh from the internet
there are:
1.take the sd card out and format it using card reader on a cpu with FAT32 system
or
2.use DirectoryBind app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625740 (thanks)
or
3.find root, find emmc, move it to /sdcard, rename extenal_sd folder to something u like, rename emmc folder to external_sd, reboot
am i wrong in any state?
i heard that there is a kernel that can fix this problem, but i can't seem to found it :crying:

I'd advise going with 1 or 2.
Don't rename the sdcards as it may cause problems....

[Q] How to swap SDcard?

Hello!
Is there any method to swap internal storage and external storage (map external SD as internal)?
I see some posts about it, but all links are broken.
I just tried to install Omars rom, but realize that cant see any way to increase 4G of internal memory. This is very little for me and i dont want to go back to my old rom with many bugs but with swapped int and ext storage.
Please tell me any way to do this, thanks!
Swap, I'm not sure but maybe Folder Mount?? You can mount most folders from ext to int memory and it runs really stable. Now I have more than 10GB mounted from ext memory to int and I can see no difference to regular install in int memory.
Is Folder Mount something like Directory Bind app? I used it, but it is boring to mount all the separate folders for all apps.
Is it possible to mount tho whole android/data directory?
Never tried this but it has this possibility.
