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...

If u use permanent cwm ur sd-ext partition wil b backed while taking a nandroid backup.
For link2sd make ext3 partition on ur sd card. I hope u kno hw to make partitions on sd card. If nt search on google.

Actually, there are many opinions about Ext partitions and which one is the best.
I'd personally suggest you read more about them yourself (ext2, ext3, ext4).

Ok.
I make sd-ext3 using cwm, but when I make backup the cwm can't find sd-ext ??
Why ??
are there any way that allow me to backup my sd-ext, and then restore if anything happened ?

try this software for partition SD Card.. use Ext2 or other on file system. MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition on the Web
search on CNET Download. maybe helpfully

you can search in youtube "Cách phân vùng ext2 thẻ nhớ" and follow it
or you install ClockworkMod recovery
chose Recovery => advanced => Partition SD card
if sdcard have
1G => 128mb
2G =>256mb
4g=>512mb
8g=>1G
and the partition 2 is swap
you can chose 128 or 256
reboot and check in pc

Yes,you can.After that you can use S2E or Link2SD to config SD-ext.I gess you flash New Experience rom 9.9.1,it already has S2E and very smooth.

thanks... I tried to use it before and it creates a right ext 4 partition, but the rom (lenio rom v4) does not recognize the partition
I tried to label the partition "sd-ext" or with no label
but in both modes it does not work

incredible... I did the ext4 by minitool but the a2sd on lenio v4 does not recognize the sd-ext
update:
created ext4 by minitool partition wizard, but it seems that phone can't recognize it, coz the rom does not see the partition
is there something to do to make the phone create/see ext4 partitions?

tried the last attempt, with another CWM (5.0.2.8 touch ext)
I partitioned the SD, choosing ext4, but when I control, it's ext3
why that???

Some possible problems,

maybe the CWM failed to format it with ext4 file system,
or the ROM you use failed to identify ext4 file system, some guys told me there are ROMs that don't support the ex4 yet, you may want to read your ROM specification,
or somehow the ROM need additional script to read ext4 file system properly,
recently I've tried more than 10 times partitioning my SD cards, but most of it failed in attempts,
it won't be mounted as second partition, therefore I can't use Link 2 SD properly,
My ROM is PAC 22.1.0
I've tried partition tools: Minitool, CWM 5, AParted (SDCARD Partiton Tool) app, checked the partition table with Partition Table app, trying to mount second partiton manually with Android Terminal Emulator (using "mount" command), success using CWM.
I've tried ext2, ext3, ext4 partitions, but success only with FAT32 file system,
I think in the process I've delete some media in /system partition, maybe it creates problem since Link 2 SD need to modify some files in /system partition to mount the second partition,

I tried with Lenio vQuattro, partitioning with minitool, the sd-ext was correctly partitioned as ext4, but the phone did not saw the sd-ext. The rom is done to use only ext4.
So I went back to the most recent cm 10.1 (with ext3 and int2ext+) because this is my only phone and I need it to phone

Better use mini tool partition wizard..
You can choose the type of part,like ext2 ext3 or ext4..

Or ext4, maybe there is issue with ext3 partitions and this rom. I've read an article that said that, ext4 partitions are not well supported, ext2, ext3 are supported with most of the roms
Edit: Now I saw that after reboot, A2SD is set back to none. Maybe I am having the superuser issue. I've flashed the fix, and will try again.

then try ext2

As I know CWM (in ics and jb kernels) creates ext4, so choose ext4 in link2sd and it should work fine.
