My tab's internal "Data" partition is corrupted. How do I make the external microSD as "Data" partition?

Tell me please, is it possible to use the external SD card other than the FAT file system and how it can be implemented? When i connect an SD card with file system Ext2, the system reports that the card is empty or corrupted.
First off I have a Galaxy S Captivate and I'm a noob when it comes to the mods on this phone. It is rooted. I bought a 32gb sd card and wanted to partition into two partitions. I did some searching and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985. It worked great, but it didn't modify the ext sd card. It partitioned the internal card instead. Now instead of seeing the 16gb internal I'm seeing 13gb.
Question is, is there an easy way to 'undo' this without loosing everything and actually partition the external card?
Thanks in advance,

The internal /sdcard partition should only have around 13gb. The entire phone has 16gb this includes all the system partitions and a 2gb partition in /data for user apps.
Okay so it repartitioned the internal storage. Is there a way to point it to the external to partition it? I'm wanting to move the apps to the sd to free up space. Sorry for the dumb questions...
You can't install an app in an external sd.
You can move apps from /data/app, which has the 2gb capacity, to a folder in /sdcard with native froyo software.
Settings>applications> manage applications>"the app you want"> move to sd.
I was wondering how is it possible to transfer my existing data from my slow class 2 card to a much faster class 10 card. The actual card is 16GB in size, and the new one should be only 2 GB in size. I have 1 GB ext4 partition and the remaining space is FAT32. The new card should have 1 GB ext 4 and 1 GB FAT32. I know I can format my card in CWM, but is there any way I can move the data and everything to work as before? How can i read EXT4 on Windows and write the data on the new card? Should I use same partition serial numbers when formatting?
If o do a nandroid backup of EXT4, should it restore successfuly on the new microsd?
Solved, made a nandroid backup of sd-ext, swaped cards, copied all from the old fat32 to the new partition, and then used avanced restore for sd-ext.
have you get problem unmount / mount sd card with cm7?, just try it unmount your sd card, and get it out then mount again, and your phone got freezzz
I want to format the internal sd. In the format in which the file system?
Did someone try this method on Lenovo a7000 with 8GB space?
This method supports MT6752 devices. The one Lenovo a7000 has.

It says there is a Zip file with AROMA installer to flash with TWRP
It will ask for a partition size, you choose anyone from there
It will reduce the "Data" partition (5GB) and increase the "System" partition (2GB), I think swap their sizes.
Then user must need an External SD card to store the pictures and downloaded files etc, but more apps
could be installed in the bigger "System" partition. There will be no "Space running out. . ." messages.
Make no mistake about one thing!
The Marshmallow's option "Use SD card as Internal Storage" doesn't work at all as what it says.
I used an app "DiskInfo" and saw the "System" partition size, when the 2GB space was occupied completely
the message started to show again "Space running out. . ."
Although I had a 32GB SD card used as Internal Storage.
Its all about resize the "System" partition more than 2GB.
I hope that method will work on our phone.

But why do you want more system partition size?
System partition only contains the ROM and the system apps.
All user apps go to the /data partition. And MM (and onward) internal SD card feature works exactly as it claims.
You need to move already installed apps to SD card first to free up storage on internal storage to install more apps.
And the xda thread you linked, it is for data partition resizing. Resizing only means to shrink the size and not to increase it beyond its physical memory limit.
