I had a lot of CWM backups on my phone.
so I thought Ill do one nandroid backup of my current phone and then recover each of the previous nandroid backups to see what they actually are.
Then when I recovered my latest backub (done two hours ago) Link to SD doesnt seem to work. Before I was doing this whole CWM backup check everything was fine.
All the settings are as they should be too. only the apps linked are not theyre anymore. The apps only moved to SD are still available.
When I open Link2Sd and choose FAT partition (cause thats what my 2nd partition is) it says:
"Mount script error. Mount scipt cannot be created.
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: Device or resource busy."
Can someone pls help me. I really need my phone to be properly working again when I go to work tomorrow.
You can see more details about my phone in the signature, if thats of any help.

Your second partition has to be EXT. Try using a terminal with the following command:
Code:
tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It should tell you bad magic number as it doesn't understand FAT32
Code:
tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Should work as mmcblk0p2 is the second mountpoint for the EXT partition used by A2SD, S2E and Link2SD.
Your nandroid backups are on your FAT32 partition -- back that up to your computer (copy all files or make a disk image). Then repartition the SD card using CWM, turn off phone, now copy your files back to the new FAT32 (which will now be partition 1). Now reinstall SD card, boot in CWM and restore

I've had the same problem. I noticed that CMW restore has formatted the sd-ext in ext4, and stock kernel does not support EXT4.
Solutions:
_ flash CF-root
or
_ take your sd, put it in a pc with an adapter, backup sd-ext, format it in ext2, restore the content
link2sd not installed
why link2sd cant installed in my phone after reboot?:crying:

Is this real ?
1) Why CWM restore formats sd-ext? Why is it not limited to work on internal memory? -> If this is true should be a good thing to remove always SD when using CWm... oh... no... this is not possible... If I remove it how can a restore be done from an sd ?
2) Reformatting sd-ext to original ext2 (compatible with stock ROMs) and restoring content (copu\paste) is s working solution to fix this problemi? Anybody can confirm this ?
thank...
I had the same problem, link2sd could not recognize the partition after a nandroid backup.
I'm using a HTC Explorer and made a backup on the stock rom, I'm new to this whole rooting business and I was hoping someone could help me get things back to the way it was before the backup.
Thanks in advance

On CM7 the 05mountsd script in the init.d folder caused this problem for me. Simply delete it and reboot.

I had that problem. I deleted the file /dev/block/vold/179:2 , rebooted & recreated mount script ....it's fixed. Plz take a backup before trying this.

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.
it's strange:
I use last CWRM 6.0.2.7 for mini by dany

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..

HI ! In this tutorial i am going to show ya all How to Increase the Internal Memory on SGA GT-S5830i.
This tutorial is not my work. I have taken other tutorials and made one full. As many people were a bit confused about doing this , here it is the all in one tutorial
What do you need :
- CronMod Script
- CWM
- Brain
- Latest Rafael.Baugis Kernels
CronMod Script by Styrke link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955422
- Now download the "Cronmod Unofficial by Styrke" from the thread ( I strongly recommand it , not the other versions because it doesn't lag and GPS works )
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Now we are going to make a partition to the SD Card so backup all your SD Card before doing this ( It formats it )
ClockWorkMod Recovery link : http://www.mediafire.com/?a4j6zsoyaihhy60
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Link2SD : Link in PlayStore ( Download when it's time to download on the installation steps lol :silly: )
OK , Let's start now :
Partition SD Card :
1) Open CWM Recovery
2) Go to "Advanced"
3) Select "Partition SD Card"
4) Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
5) Select "0M" Swap.
6) Wait for the procces finish.
7) Reboot.
8) Now download Link2SD from Playstore.
9) Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
12) Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
13) Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink.
14) To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition.

Click to collapse
Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal.
15) Now your SD Card is formated .
16) Place the CronMod Script on your SD Card ( Cronmod Unofficial file )
17) Open CWM again
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
19) Mount /system
20) Flash custom rom
21) Remount /system
22) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial " script.
23) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alternative mod : If you have already your custom ROM just do these easy steps :
1) Format /data /sd-ext
2) Mount /system
3) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial" script
4) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW YOU SUCCESFULLY INCREASED YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY
How to delete 2nd partition and revert to normally :
1) Go to CWM
2) Go to Mounts and Storage
3) Choose " format /sdcard "
4) Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note : Backup everything again or you will lose every app installed on 2nd Partition too.
Press Thanks if i helped you

how do I format sd card partition ??
any thing other than mini tool partision wizard ??
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
is this to download?
Data2sd-ext Fixed.zip
As the other one is not there
No no ! No tool needed and what do you mean to format it ? Ah, if you mean the 2nd partion just format/wipe the /sd-ext on the mounts and storage on CWM . But it is unnessesary becouse the 2nd partition is transfered to the the internal memory.

recommend fresh rom... rom with lot of appk maybe bootloop...no need link2sd... easy way, flash rom, flash kernel(boot.img & module) mount system & flash cronmod unofficial by styrke(latest script).. done... depend of what rom, maybe no need to mount system... kernel also, no need flash if rom include lattest kernel...:silly: adios...
#remember, create partition with cwm its totally format your sdcard... before do this, save data sdcard to pc/laptop... only left behind cwm.zip... when done, move back saving data to sdcard... when all its ready, happy flashing lol...

Hey I followed your whole procedure,
but I got stocked when I wanted to apply the data2ext-fixed file
During my stock rom, I had partionated my sd-card on windows computer, not with CWM, but after I used ur guide, I partionated it again with CWM, so now it should have the structure given by CWM, right?
But here is the problem. In CWM I don't get the option "Format /data /sd-ext" there are just the following options: format "/data or /sdcard or /system or /cache" but no option "Format /data /sd-ext"
So might it be that CWM didn't apply the extention right?
When I open Link2SD it does all the things it should do, but the internal memory is rising, so maybe it is not putting the files in the right place, someone said instead of putting them to "sd-ext" it is putting them to "sdext2"
Another point: In the tutorial u mentioned after step 14)
"Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." Is that a point I have to do?
Because right now the 2nd partition is sdext2, but it is still not preventing that the internal memory is rising.
Hope u can help me to solve this problem.

LOL. Of course there is no such option like Format /data /sd-ext. What he mean is format your data and sd-ext one by one. Meaning you should format data 1st, After finished format sd-ext.
And for your second point problem, it is a title. Not a step to follow.

Ok, but in CWM there are only the options "format data" and "format sd-card" so in this case "sd-card" and "sd-ext" is the same?
Because I don't want that the ext3 which i partitioned before will be deleted and the sd-card will only consist of one partition and not "sd-card" by itself and "ext3" part on the sd-card.
If i push "format sd-card" it will not destroy the partitions which i created before?

LOL , data2ext script is only for ext2 first and you should go to mounts and systems and format /sd-ext and data as i said in the instructions . If you can't see any , buy some glasses You haven't seen correctly ! Follow d steps carefully. It's a bit complied so you should keep an eye to the thread and an eye to the phone .. And yes if you format /sdcard your partition will revert back , so you will uninstall it

Thank you for the answers.
So yeah maybe the CWM version I'm using is outdated.
So let me ask this
in this thread there are some files to root and also have CWM.
My phone is rooted, so which file (i think they should be most up-to-date CWM-files, right?) should I download and use for CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156
So another question, so you said the partition should be ext2 not ext3, otherwise the data2ext script doesn't work, right?
I think I can't see the "format sd-ext" option, because my CWM is outdated, which version should I install? Where is the link for the most current- or usable version? Should I get the ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip from the thread mentioned above?

Plug the sdcard to your system and use the "Gparted" or "Mini partition tool".. Make sure you backup the sdcard data first..

thanks but that's the problem i cant find my data. when i made the partition the size of sd-card became 4GB and the data was gone !!!! i installed mini tool partition but i didn't know how to delet partition
You may be able to shrink the partition using the partition wizard. I've been lucky, and also unlucky. If you try it, don't shrink the partition below the amount of data u already have on it. For example, if you have 150 megs of data, shrink the partition down to 200 megs. Still make a back up just in case. Good luck.

Plug out your SDCard and connect it to your PC and now Format it (Not Quick Format) and then the partition will be gone and you have to make a new partition!!!
Hi S5830 users (S5830 only)

Can you tell me exactly what the error is? Are you able to create the mount scripts? You only have one sd-ext partition right?

According to MiniTool Partition Wizard, yes, I have 1 FAT32 (about 30GB) and another Ext3 partition. However, the device doesn't read it, and I cannot partition through either TWRP or CWM. I'm testing Cronmod on CM10.1 now, will update.

TWRP or CWM should not be used to create a new ext partition if your sdcard already have another ext partition. Meaning you should have only one ext partition in your sdcard. So delete the ext3 partition and the fat32 partition, then create a single new fat32 partition on the 32BG sdcard. Now use the recovery mod to create the ext partition. That should work. Between Link2SD and CronMod, I would always go for CronMod. Then again its my opinion. Any way if you have any problem, just post here and I'll be glad to help

Is a Primary partition fine, or do I have to use a Logical partition?
EDIT: I used a Primary partition, and got this:
Partitioning SD Card...
Removing partition table...
Creating FAT32 partition...
Creating EXT partition...
E:Unable to create EXT partition.
Updating partition details...
(TWRP says 'Failed')
EDIT 2: I used a Logical partition, and got this:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
Partitioning SD card...
Creating FAT32 partition...
Creating EXT partition...
E:Unable to create EXT partition.
Updating partition details...

Steps taken: Copied files directly through Cronmod ZIP (INt2EXtV2+) to respective places (i.e. /system/etc/init.d/) using FX File Explorer, rebooted, and it BOOTS!
Hang on a minute, let me check my disk space, it still reads '16MB free, 162MB used'. is that normal? The script has already been put into the- Wait a minute, the space just increased to 24MB free, 154MB used.
Oh my gosh. Link2SD is saying that there is no second partition.
Apparently the other init.d files are rwxr-xr-x, root, shell, but 40int2ext is rwxr-xr-x, root, root. Is that normal too?
P.S. Sorry, my Shift key is malfunctioning
EDIT: I'm manually flashing Cronmod again, instead of copying directly, as TWRP and CWM 6 didn't allow. CWM 5 works like a charm.
EDIT 2: Still 15MB free *Cries*

You should know that CronMod and Link2SD doesn't work together. Since CronMod is present, Link2sd can't find the ext partition. What is the size of your ext partition. What rom are you using now? For every 512MB sd-ext partition you need a 100MB space on /data. So please limit your sd-ext patition to 1GB max.

I'm using Maclaw's CM10.1. I don't use CronMod and Link2SD together, when i figured out that CronMod didn't work I tried to use Link2SD. As for the /data, is it 100MB free?

For our Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, we have an internal memory of 150MB. So your ext partition size should not be more than 1GB for CronMod to work. BTW what is the size of your ext partition?

If I'm not wrong... I chose 1024MB (1GB) at the selection screen.

As a last resort, try to reflash this rom. Make sure to backup all the data. Take the rom file, extract it, put 40int2ext file inside /system/etc/init.d/ and then compress it back. Now go to CWM, do "Wipe Data/ Factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", Mount & Storage> "Format /system" and "Format /sd-ext", Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats". Now reflash the custom rom. This should pretty much solve it. Restore all the necessary data.

I've tried that already, and the device went into a bootloop. However, I used GParted to partition 777MB sd-ext, and the rest FAT32, and it boot up after flashing CM10.1 > GApps > CronMod INT2EXT4
The only problem was that the memory remained the same, and Partition info showed /sd-ext (EXT 0.00B/0.00B)
EDIT: For some reason sd-ext doesn't mount, but formats perfectly.

Have you tried flashing the CronMod from CWM? Can you give it a try? Also try to use INT2EXT+ as it is much more stable than others. Hope I Helped

When I flash it from CWM sometimes it somehow finishes without incident, but the file doesn't get copied.
