Ouch. Just do a fresh rom install just to be safe. Or just do a Nandroid backup and move it to the new SD and restore.

+1 nandroid backups store symbolic links.
-Make a nandroid backup.
-Copy all info on your class 4 sd card to your pc.
-Copy all info to your new sd card.
-Restore the nandroid backup.
Edit: just keep the same partition format on your new sd card.
What is nandroid backup? Its the cwm backup?

I just bought a new class 6 microSD card to replace the class 2 card currently in my phone and I'm wondering what the easiest way to copy the data from the existing card to the new one.
Would the following be the easiest steps?
1) Do a nandroid backup of the phone
2) Copy the contents of the FAT partition to a PC using USB mount
3) Turn off the phone and replace the microSD card with the new one
4) Partition the new card for A2SD using recovery
5) Copy the contents of the FAT partition from the PC to the card using USB mount
6) Do a nandroid restore
Any other ways to do it?
Backup the fat part.
nadroid +ext backup
replace card
format new card
nand +ext restore
profit???
In none of your steps did you mention anything about backing up the ext partition. If you don't need that just copy and paste.
Doesn't nandroid automatically backup the ext partition when used from recovery?
No.
10char
There are several possible loopholes, so let me clarify a couple of things.
When you backup nand+ext, the backup goes to FAT32 partition of the SD. So you need to:
backup nand+ext
mount SD
copy everything from FAT32 to PC
unmount SD
remove old card
insert new card
partition it
mount SD
copy everything from PC to FAT32
restore nand+ext
Now, it might be faster copying the card using card reader, but here's the catch - unless you have Linux anywhere on the computer, the card won't be readable, Windows can't read multi-partition SD cards.

i am using 4ext touch recovery.
My doubt is that will recovery will do backup of ext4 partition also along with fat32? or i need to use separate app to backup data n app in ext4 ?

Edited:
This method is causing FCs and restarts and insufficient storage error . Check the link.
I don't think its a rt wy for ICS beta ROM at least for me.
While swapping cards better method is(atleast for ROMs which are not stable)
1) backup the apps (apk), app data, sms, call log and other settings using my backup pro or some other good app.
2) Save it to ur PC
3) Then do a complete wipe (factory reset) and install ROM.
4) Copy the restore data form PC to microSD, do a restore using the app which was used for backup.

You need to use the right CWM version. The latest CWM (5.0.2.0) provided by ROM manager (see market), for example, uses the external SD as default.

What happens if you start CWM with the external SD taken out?
(Do you mean you cannot mount the internal via adb while in CWM?)

There have been a lot of problems with ext file systems on the sd cards and mounting in the recovery. Some claiming it to be unsupported other that it works. Only thing you can do is try to make the partition with different tools. For example mkfs.ext2, gparted, different windows tools etc. Also different sd cards if you have.
Hope it helps.

Yes, you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1098745.html
If you need v5 you could also try to mount the internal SD manually in CWM via adb shell and the following commands:
umount /sdcard
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard
^Thanks guys! Its working
Let me try ....
May I know, where to set Ext SD card as default, inside the ClockworkMod Recovery or the Rom Manager inside set it ?
i just bought and installed rom manager from market last night and when i did backup of my current bell 2.3.4 rom, looked on ext sd, not there, thought b/u didn't worklooked on int storage, there it was? how do i change settings to ext... looked for 30min. thank-you for any help
mine saves backups to internal. but only finds backups from external, so I must move files to backup.
My clockwork goes like this
-launch backup from application in use mode, it saves backups on internal
-manually enter recovery and launch backup, it saves on external

CWM makes the backup to external sd by default, unless you have the internal sd version made by rusty.
Flash CWM from ROM Manager and it should solve the problem. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
v5.0.2.7 gives you a choice where it backs up to, which is nice.
How did u get v5.0.2.7. For me ROM Manager is still showing 5.0.2.0 as the latest version.

hello guy
i want to ask u all
how can i partition my sd card using cwm?
i can see advanced > partition sd card
if can, can u show how to do it and what to do after done this step?
is it safe?
i want to do it via minitool partition but i do not have sd card reader
i'm using ketut blackhawk dxkt7 rom
You can partition the sd card using CWM recovery.
Be sure to backup your data as in the partition the sd card is formatted.
After selecting partition sd card the first thing you will see is the option to select the size of the partition that you want to make (generally select 1024=1gb).
Next will be the swap size. This is optional.
After selecting these options your sd card will be formatted with a 1gb ext partition.
Hope this helps.

I'm with SuperAce609 here. Look into my signature and find the link in which I've thanked him. After partitioning your SD card, the only thing you have to do is install S2E and reboot your SGA after you install any CM7 based Custom ROM. & boom! No matter if you install 100+ apps, you will never be out of internal memory.
use the search option.

I always facing "out of internal memory" problem. So, if I ever partition my SD Card vi CWM, what will change? Which part can be greater in size?

Can't. CWM makes ext3 partition, period.
You'd have to modify cwm to get it to partition in ext4 format.
I found this "4EXTRecovery" interesting for making ext4, just to make sure if anyone use and confirmed it work.

According to my experience.. cwm 5.0.2.6 for galaxy ace makes an ext2 partition.. It doesn't give any other ext option.. I don't know how is it possible to make ext3/4 partition using cwm..

you can choose in cwm backup/restore menu : backup internal sd.
or make a backup in external, then copy paste the clockworkmod dir in internal sd

Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd don't know if that's the case with version you use though

No.... the latest the version seems to be loading it correct.
When I choose internal.. It goes to the internal storage.
But this was not the case with earlier ones that we had with speedmod and notecore
