Does anyone know if you can format the storage partition on the sdcard as ntfs or ext4.
Reason for this is if you want to put hd movies on your sd card and they are over 4GB you can't do this with FAT32.
So you would need to format it in a different partition. Anyone know if it works ?

You format it to ExFat. That is the new sdcard format to get it to store more than 4gb. How you are going to do it I don't know. If it were stock, formatting that is easy, but CM10, I don't know. NTSF won't work but ext4 should. You can use partitioning software to do that.

Just got a nexus and in none of the tutorials I've watched or read does it say to partition my sd card?

You only need to partition if you want to take advantage of app2sd. In that case, you can carve up an ext2 partition from within recovery (then convert it to ext3, then ext4). The remaining space is kept as a FAT32 filesystem for use as USB mass storage.
I have a 1 gig card to use in my rooted NC. Do I need to format it some special way ? I have it formated as NTFS but I can not read it with ASTRO. It should be listed under sdcard right ? but I dont see it.
Help!
From what I've read on the Nook Color spec, it supports the FAT32 filesystem.
Try formatting your microSD card to that (or use the Nook to format the sd card directly)

Yup, FAT32 will work if what you have is a PC. There may be some UNIX filesystem format that's supported too, but for a 1 GB card, FAT32 is enough with its 4 GB file size limitation.
I'm asking because I had to format my 64GB sd card as fat32 in order to get cwm to see it, but now I can't use it as secure storage for nook vids and such.

I'd try making 2 primary partitions on the card. Format the smaller one fat32. I think cwm can see ext2 partitions too. Easy enough to try. Gparted does it easy.
Great idea. Thanks.
Hi,
I've stock ICS (rooted, with Kowalski kernel M1) on my P990. I've a 32GB SD card, and I wonder if I can mount it automatically with ext4, NTFS of exFAT file system. Currently it only accepts FAT32, anything else will be unmounted automatically.

I know for sure that NTFS does not work.
eXFATshould work... You should check if there are patches for this.
Is your current card with Fat 32 working with Windows PC, this will check if your card is not out of order.
I installed Link2SD to move apps from internal to SD storage. I wouldn't work unless both partitions on SD card were FAT32. Does anyone else have this experience? Or does anyone else have it working with NTFS or ext4? What exact combinations of formats do you use?
