hi there! you're doing it wrong, you have to partition your sd card and the main one is FAT32 while the partitioned should be EXT4 try finding some tutorials here in xda my friend, else, google is your bestfriend :good:

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.

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
sr i can't post link ^^!

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.
it's strange:

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..

Go to cwm recovery -> mounts & storage -> format sd-ext (It will format your second partition in ext3 format)
Reboot the phone and open link2sd and select ext3 as your second partition. If it still gives error go to more options in link2sd and recreate mount script and select ext4 and reboot phone
For full space problem, uninstall some unnecessary apps from /system and /data or move apps to sd card using Link2Sd

CWM Recovery v5.0.2.6 should have this option. I'm looking at it right now. Right below format /sdcard & Right Above mount USB Storage option is the option format /sd-ext
Anyway if you still can't find it in cwm, use minitool partition in windows to format the sd-ext partition in ext3 format. Link2sd has some issues in Jellyblast ROM in my experience. But it was solved for me by the method i explained to you in my last post. Also verify if you have got the latest version of link2sd.
Most importantly, please note that link2sd will only detect ext2 format if you are on stock kernel. It will detect ext3 & ext4 formats only if you are on Rafael's kernel

thank you and yes i'm using rafael's kernel i'll try it your way i was using an older version of cwm i guess

lol now it just says mlount script cannot be created invalid argument ext 3 may not be created on your device...try fat 32.

[Q] (Q) X8 can´t recognize SD partition

I asked this before, but I think no one understand me...
When I install a ROM for my X8 (stocke kernel) always skip the "SD-EXT format"(except in Ginger DX recovery) , , some ROM´s "auto-install" all my apps, but other doesnt recognize the SD-EXT partition... WHY this is happpening ?
maybe , according to its format, they don't have support for ext2, 3, or 4.
It might happen.
Using partition minitool from computer will ease transorming sd-ext into FAT32 or ext2,3,4.
Cheers,

Link2SD forces bootloop (lollipop)

Hallo everyone!
I tryed link2sd for my xperia zr.
I make 2 partitions on my sd card. 32 GB SD and for link2sd I make it 2 GB formated with 4ext.
I normaly boot and install link2sd. After I started it and made a script to sdext partition with 4ext.
Then link2sd asked me for reboot and suddenly screen went black.
No booting possible with insert sd card. Bootloop apairs.
Booting without sd works and after deinstalling link2sd, everything seems to be ok.
What can I do, to run link2sd on my XZR under Lollipop (5.0.2) without bootloop?
Greetings Lemmi.

For link2sd to work you need 2 apps apps. Download busybox from the play store and install it. Reboot. Then download init.d toggler/ universal init.d from the play store and enable init.d by running the app. Reboot. Make sure your second sd card partition is formatted and then mount the partition with link2sd.
Works without any problems for me.
Do it really works so with Lollipop?
I heard that I have to wait for a remount boot fix and then it should work well. Will be installed with the new dual recovery that will come out in a view days or so.
What doas ini.d make? Dont understand this app.
Just tryed it now, but at the time I make the second partition with ext4, my XZR gets into bootloop.
So I think it wont work for me. Have to wait for bootloop fix.

Oh .... Didnt know about that remount fix thats needed. Im on unlocked bootloader with custom kernel already having twrp by xenius9, so maybe thats why it worked for me ....
I am on looked boot loader, stock rom rooted.
Dual Recovery don't work right now and causes bootloop and for linktosd I need this remount reboot fix.
