Hi,
I have this phone: Sony Xperia Z L36h C6603
With this ROM: PAC-ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249
This MicroSD: 64GB Class 10
And I have tried to partition the SD like this, ever both partitions PRIMARY (the ext partition it's small because of test, when i will found the solution I'll do bigger):
1) FAT32 (60GB) - EXT2 (2GB)
2) FAT32 (60GB) - EXT3 (2GB)
3) FAT32 (60GB) - EXT4 (2GB)
4) FAT32 (60GB) - FAT32 (2GB)
PS: when I try all partitions, I already clean the cache and reinstall Link2SD.
PS2: The partitions was created by Minitool from the PC not from recovery.
And when I try to mount with the Link2SD said the same error for all test:
"The script can't be created.
mount: invalid argument"
I tried manual from the emulated console with the busybox too:
writing this comands:
su
mkdir /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
AND SAY THE SAME FUC***G ERROR: "MOUNT: INVALID ARGUMENT"
Please help me, I do test from days and I don't found the solution...... Please someone help
Oh ... Thanks... Can you help me, please?
Link2sd doesn't work. I can't remember the reason why it doesn't work.
Instead use folder mount....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122

I am trying to mount my SD card via console in recovery, I get
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument
Any ideas whats wrong?
In recovery you can try:
mount -a
to just mount everything. Try that out.
Are you trying to copy files to the sdcard or the extX partition? It looks like the ext partition because that's blk0p2...
The sdcard would be ums_enable.
This post will interest many. a few days ago my internal memory is physically dead, the memory (16GB) is partitioned into two, /data (~ 2GB) and /sdcard (~ 14GB). Not having these partitions the phone can not save settings or user data.
Symptoms:
* Internal sd corrupt (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845708)
* (I/O) error in factory reset
* mmcblk0p1 y mmcblk0p2 does not appear in /dev/block/
* Boot loop
* E: can not mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 in recovery, or updating rom
* You can't install applications, since /data does not exist
Please I need your help to move the partition /data to external sd memory (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2).
I Create two partitions fat32 (/dev/block/mmcblk1p1) and ext4 (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2) and edit the fstab file and vold.fstab. the system now recognizes the FAT32 partition of the external memory as internal memory but the partition /data does not mount the second partition of external SD.

The busybox df-h command shows that the first partition is mounted, but the second partition is not listed .
I've tried everything, and what I see is that it requires more knowledge. Not whether to build or edit the kernel or some file.
I appreciate your help, since many users have a higher Know-how on this topic.
* My English is very bad, I'm using the google translator.
I tried to edit the initramfs folder to edit files lpm.rc init.rc and fota.rc, i download many kernels to remove zImage and edit images and package them again, but does not work, not that I'm doing wrong.
Someone who has worked with the edition of the kernel can help me build or rebuild a file with the new changes.
Hey,
I like to mount my external SD Card as ext3 to support large files. The SD Card is formatted with ext3 but now Android shows only an empty folder.
So i tried to remount the SD:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/vold/197:33 /mnt/sdcard/externald_sd
But it doesnt use something... Does anybody has an idea? Some Example or sthing else?

u need a kernel that supports ext3. u can ask one of the guys compiling at the moment if they have time to add an ext3 module for u.
May be a stupid question:
would ext4 work instead? I thought the system partition would use this FS.
filesystem is already ext4

well the system uses ext4 so it should work, but i'm not sure what u're trying to achieve. i use a 16 gb class 10 formatted fat32

He's talking about formatting external sd-card
When I get him right, he has a file that exceeds the 4GB FAT32 limit.
So he looks for an alternative to FAT32, which might be some kind of ext*-FS.
wintel your right!
In the Android-Hilfe Forum someone said the system expect first an vfat partition and then the ext. I think thats wrong cause its not working but somehow it has to go.
Hmm should I write these mount command I postet in the init.rc? Or something else. Would be very nice if you post your ideas!
Thanks
init.rc+ ext3 module/object included in kernel
Hmm okay thats good but how do I use them? So I can read and write to my external sd card with an ext3 or ext2 partition.
Thanks
Come on guys where are the great developers?!
Ok I did a test with busybox inbuilt mount, but I tried only with an image.
Not with a real SD card! This worked for me:
On a linux box:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=1M count=1k
# mkfs.ext4 /tmp/image
Copy file to your phone. Then:
On the phone with terminal:
# mkdir /sdcard/mmnt
# busybox mount -o loop /sdcard/image /sdcard/mmnt
To unmount:
# busybox umount -l /sdcard/mmnt
Anybody tried that?
If I understand u right u puting an image file (ext3/4) on the sd and mount that as a virtual disk. Wouldn't the image file be bound to the same restrictoins as other content on a fat32 file system? Like the 4 gig limit!
YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR SDCARD IF YOUR FDISK
BACKUP WHATEVER IS ON THERE FIRST!!!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
using a photon 4g but....
what i did was get an external sdcard reader writer...
(used ubuntu) and let it mount
fdisk device and DELETE ALL PARTITIONS
write
fdisk again
create a linux primary type 83
type mount and grab the /dev/sdcX value (it was /dev/sdc1 for me)
umount that
then
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdcX ... ( heres the thing though with cyanogen mod 7 kernel 2.6.32.9 SMP PREEMPT)
had to reboot twice for it to be seen in file manager...
its buggy but it does work for the most part
Reviving an old thread, but I just found that I can format a MicroSD under NTFS and it will work with Paragon's NTFS module. At the very least, my phone will mount the drive. I partitioned and formatted it with ext4 on my Linux machine and it didn't recognize it, but I did have it use the GUID partition table. Hoping to be able to load up some videos to take with me.

The problem is with the shell interpreting the special character ":"
To make it work, first create a symlink to the device node:
Code:
ln -s /dev/block/vold/197\:17 /dev/sd2
Then mount it:
Code:
busybox mount /dev/sd2 /mnt/tmp
Code:
sh-4.1# ls -l /dev/sd2
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-11-16 14:45 sd2 -> /dev/block/vold/179:17
sh-4.1# mount|grep sd2
/dev/sd2 /mnt/tmp ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

An improvement in technique to mount ext formatted SDcard:
1) be root and open terminal
2) insert the card
3) see the block device and partition names from dmesg
4) mount device to location of choice (create the directory if needed)
Below is an example of an SD card with one ext4 partition on it
Code:
bash-4.1# dmesg | tail | grep mmc
<6>[20230.719541] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address 0007
<6>[20230.722803] mmcblk1: mmc1:0007 SD32G 29.3 GiB (ro)

Would this work just the same way with i9000?
After this, no more access to the extSD by the Windows PC but only with Ubuntu, right?

Since it's generic Linux kernel and busybox functionality it should work on any 'droid. The SDcard device name might be different than in the above example - you will see the correct device and partition names after you insert SDcard and run `dmesg | tail` on the tablet or phone.
(of course your device must be rooted and have busybox...)
Typically Windows is engineered not to recognise anything that does not come from Microsoft, so you will not be able to mount the Linux partition via Windows.
Please, i need really need ur help, somebody, why do i keep losing my swap partition???
Please somebody, help me
i have problem with swap and ext3 partition with alfs kernel too, that's why i change the kernel..i don't know why alfs kernel have bug with partitions, because he don't mount the partitions. i want to see this problem solved too

yes, if i clean dalvik cache and boot, the device recognize again the ext partition..but for me if i boot again, i loose again the partition. and swap don't work..i need boot million times to make swap work, but if i reboot again i loose the swap too..the solution for me is don't use ext partition, (but have problems with swap too) but i use much apps, then i have less memory.
alfs kernel in performance it's the best..alfs could fix the partition bug, i don't know..

with versio 6 of alfs the problem persists..anybody helps?? anybody knows why this kernel dont mount the partitions? because in alfs thread, in first post, alfsamsung said that ext2\3\4 works..but for me and for much people don't work too
I want to help you guys,but I don't have this problem and I can't reproduce your errors....
Try this:
1 format sd card with fat32,ext*,swap if you not allready have done this
2 remove system/etc/init.d/10app2sd Remove swapper and use link2sd to move apps
3 edit system/etc/fstab to look like this
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext auto rw
[B]/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /swap swap rw[/B]
now all 3 partitions will be mounted at boot
4 add this to system/etc/hw_config.sh
This will turn on swap on swap partition
Code:
#enable swap
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 #turn on swapp
echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness #swap amount
To turn off swap do this and reboot
Code:
#enable swap
#swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 #turn on swapp
#echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness #swap amount
check on terminal if swap is working using #free
If you used app2sd before,then try and put it back to see if app2sd is the problem
@alfsamsung
thanks for your reply..the swap partition is mounted with app2sd or without thanks..the ext partition dont work..i test app2sd link2sd and nothing..a few days ago, i test without swap and link2sd and ext work..but also 1 or two days passed and stopped working..this only happens to me with your kernel..in stock or nAa works always..but your kernel is the best. the problem is in kernel..please: can you fix this? it's just a request
same here the ext wont work for me
Can you test this.I patched mmc with fixes.
Please post output from adb shell or terminal if it's not working
Code:
dmesg | grep mmc

try to remove the 2 partitions that is wrong.and make a new swap partition.Remember all partitions must be primary.
You can try this guide which you can run from recovery with card inside phone
And you need an external card reader if you use mini tool partition.Are you using this?

no. always when i partition my sdcard, i only connect the usb cable to the pc and click on "select to copy files to sdcard" and next use mini tool partition manager..using your link to tutorial, if i use the command to reboot recovery, the phone only boot, don´t go to recovery..if i manually put in recovery mode and proceed with the tutorial, the command give me this:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
/sbin/sh: parted: not found
i don´t have an external reader. laptop have but is for sd..i have a pen vodafone internet in home that have a reader too.will it work well with this?
i'm sorry something alfsamsung..i am limited at 8 thanks per day, so tomorrow i click thanks to you and again, thanks for this.thanks.
After you entered recovery, mount system, then continue with parted
don't work..always give me the same error:

Hi:
I've messed up my Note 9 pretty bad, such that no partitions mount in TWRP except cache - I'll need to do a data wipe, but I need to save data that I have in the Internal SD.
I've discovered via fdisk in TWRP that the media part - the Internal SD is partition sda25 - however can
t mount it in the terminal through a simple: mount /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
I get an error: mount failed: Invalid argument
I've tried: mount -t sdcardfs /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
This gives me also an error: mount failed: Not a directory
Mounting with -t vfat or exfat gives the Invalid argument error.
Anyone can help me with how to mount it, so that I may copy data off of it manually? I don't want to lose it. Many thanks.

cant you simply wipe the affected partitions(except data of course)? then flash a rom?
have you tried;
mount /sys/block/sda25 /mydata
or
mount /dev/block/sda25 /mydata
or
adb
mount -o rw /dev/block/sda25/data /mydata
in both cases /mydata is just the mount point so I believe it can simply be called what ever you want including just /data
have you read:
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...data-partitions-in-recovery-mode-in-adb-shell
edit:
by any chance when you first flashed twrp, did you forget to format data?
if yes then flash back stock AP file(original phone's firmware) in Odin AP slot only and you should be good to go.( you shouldn't loose any files in internal storage)
