It didn't restarted again means there is some problem in installing. Please read this for more info and make sure you get the exact result as mentioned there.
Few things to keep in mind...
1. [format, optional but recommended] and mount sd-ext at boot
run mount | grep sd-ext command in terminal for it.
Make sure you get this result
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
If not format or repartition your sd-ext and try again.
2. mount /data and /system on CWM recovery

Well you might not get the same like yagya did : /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered) .
The ext3 for you could be a ext4 so don't be afraid or shocked if you get other filesystem

Ok..then I will format my extra partition and try it again..and the ext partition must be formatted in recovery right? Or any specific mthd i should follow to format it...?

But, doesn't CWM recovery creates ext3 partition by default and it doesn't even provides the flexibility to change it to ext4.... unless you manually do it in other partition manger

no need to mount sd-ext, only need to mount system and data when flashing dtapps2sd, and try a2sdgui to confirm the script is working or not.

Ya its working perfectly..don't no why it didn't restart....but when tried a2sd gui and moved the apps worked perfectly...thank you all for responding...

android see its intalled in the phone memory, but technically it resides in your sd-ext.

Ya it can install the apps to sd ext automatically once you install the scripts...download dt a2sd gui from market and select dalvik cache on sd ext..that's it all your apps will be installed on the partition that you have created...

hey guys if you get following error..
"it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to cwm 3.0 gb based recovery,please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working update zip package.
Installation aborted"...
i think the above error will appear if you are not using right version...
then try to download it from the following link..
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...m/CJJ606UMY2&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13183165556861
it will work perfectly(for me it did)..

the new version cannot install in our mini
i got the same error like above
installed the beta04 version only FYI

If you are still having problem with Darktremor A2SD Script and are fed up use this alternative method to move app to sd-ext....

But, Darktremor A2SD is working fine for me..

ext partitioning cwm

when we partition our sd card to ext in cwm recovery is that ext2 or 3/4? if i use gparted insted of recovery to partition to ext4 is that ok?

Cwm does an ext3 partition, if ur using DTa2sd..it can be converted to ext4 by
su
a2sd convert-ext4

Yes, it is perfectly fine if you make one with gparted or mini tools... make sure you run this command in terminal before flashing a2sd...
mount | grep sd-ext

thanks to both
what mount | grep sd-ext exactly do?
aso my gparted already see my sdext partition ext4 if i partitioned it from recovery is that possible or an error?

That command checks if there exists an sd ext partition.
I don't know abt gparted but cwm formats the card and partitions it so it should not be a prob

I used minitools for partitioning
u can go for ext4 no harm in tht
if ur using mini tool make sure u keep all partitions as primary
also ext2/3/4 wont b detected on windows so dont panic if u dont see the partitions once done they r thr meant for ur phone nt windows

Without a2sd what is the exact command to convert partition to ext4 ? It can be very useful

yeah, but "problem" is after a restore. If we convert partition in ext4 after restore, all data already in partition remain on ext3, only new data will be on ext4.
So it will be good that cwm could format always sdext in ext4

Okay, a question from me...
I have a galaxy fit s5670, running a custom rom that came with darktremor a2sd pre-installed...
I created a partition of 1024mb on my 16gb card, and have enabled swap...but the apps that I install are still going in the phone memory...
Can you please help me out???
Our devices are SIMILAR...

I believe that you are taking about the cache that will use your internal memory even if you have a2sd enabled. THough it is not recommended to do so unless needed (i.e. your memory is very low) you can move dalvik cache to sd-ext from APP2SDGUI app or though this simple command
su
a2sd cachesd
It will move dalvik cache to sd-ext.

Don't try anything eles.... Just install darktremor as said here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
If possible format your sd-ext before installing darktermor app2sd. THen all you need to so is move dalvik to sd-ext as said above. And your internal memory will be totally empty. You can explorer /sd-ext/ folder using root explorer to see if a2sd is working properly.

After using link2sd for a day, I find that it is working, and it even allows u to specify which apps to move, and what all to move...
I did partition before using a2sd, and I understand the thing about the dalvik cache (moving which would make my device slower)...
Anyways, thanks for replying...

Please Help me with A2SD

before i go any further on my phone please help me :
this is what i did :
1- i partioned my sd card be 4ext recovery choosing 512 on 1st and 2048 on second and 128 as swap and finally i chose 3ext
2- then i downloaded darkmetor a2sd ind installed from recovery (during this my rom was normal cyanogen0
3- then i flash medroid 7.2 based on cyanogenmod rom which supports a2sd (before that i wipe cache and dalvik)
4- then when i rebooted twice manually i saw that i still have insufficient storage
so i fully wiped and instal darkometor script again and now i already rebooted twice but when i download internal decreases , i tried typing in terminal emulator su the a2sd reinstall but it failed and it said that a2sd seems not too be booted at startup , i dont know what im doing andwhat to do anymore , please help me and guide me

Your setup is a bit off; try this:
1) I highly recommend you wipe everything (backup apps with Titanium Backup) and start over fresh. If not, you can still probably continue.
2) I would also recommend that you make the EXT partition size bigger, about 1gb. And try not to use swap (set it to 0). It has no positive effect on performance, and some rumor it can harm your SD card over time.
3) Try another script. Scripts like DarkTremor, S2E, and others have issues where the device will say low memory when the partition is only half full. Try this script (flashable in recovery), I HIGHLY recommend it; it mounts the EXT as internal and works really great. Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310309
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.

not sure why you installed 4ext recovery then installed DT--4ext has worked quite well for me, Amon_Ra for a very long time before that
you only need 1 sdext for CM7
as mentioned 1gb and 0 swap
if using DT you flash CM7 then flash DT beta4 before rebooting, maybe even gapps between CM7 and DT--see what OP says on what's included
install Titanium Backup then just a couple apps like Term Emu if it is not already installed
then run your scripts thru terminal emulator
a2sd reinstall
a2sd zipalign
a2sd noswap
a2sd cachesd
phone will reboot after reinstall and cachesd or should--
some people reboot once right after first boot before doing anything else
most people are using sd ext4 not 3 atm, as far as I know
ken

As CSP said, you should make 1st ext bigger than the 2nd one. I even don't recommend you to make 2nd ext partition, very rarely rom that require it. Choose 1GB for 1st ext, skip 2nd ext, and skip swap. But if you want to make 2nd ext, try 1GB for 1st ext, 512/256 for 2nd. Remember to back up your sdcard first.
Before flashing the rom, try to wipe all partition except sd card, find it on recovery menu. You should flash the rom first, then flash the a2sd script. From your post, I see you screwed up the order.
To run the script, after rebooting and setting up, if you use the latest DT, type "a2sd reinstall" in terminal. I also usually run "a2sd cachesd" to move dalvik-cache, "a2sd zipalign" for alignment purpose on boot-up.
Add: Arrgg, rugmankc beat me

i did as u said , specialy moenexus but i got permission denied in TE and it didnt work

can you open and use Titanium if not you may need to reinstall Superuser or add TE to your Superuser list--in its' settings

Thanks guys it worked using the script that CSP recommended , thnx to u all

U have to partite your sd card before u run Link2Sd because link2sd doesnt create it,recommnd you to use Minitool Partition Wizard,very easy to use.

Try creating mount script in different format with link2sd. Ext2, ext3, fat32 one will work.

Try manually editing the mount script.
I don't really remember where the link2sd mount script was created for stock roms without /init.d i think it was in a file called init.d at the root of the phone or system/ or system/etc.
Look it up, open it as text, locate the link2sd mount script.
The part where it says 'mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/block' change 'ext3' to 'ext4' in all lines required, reboot. Check link2sd again to see if it worked.
Otherwise, enable the system/etc/init.d address by flashing cf-root or flash a custom rom.

Are you sure about having a kernel with init.d support? Without it, script can't be mounted.

Link2sd doesn't need /init.d, only root and partitioned sd to work.
