stock rom and link2sd: can't mount ext4 partition - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have my ace running with a stock rom again since my wife is using it.
I have rooted the phone and flashed px recovery. After that, I wanted link2sd to mount the ext4 partition but whatever I try: nothing works.
when I try to mount ext 3 or ext 4 in link2sd I get this message: can't mount: no such device
when I try to mount ext2 I get this message: invalid argument
I have repartitioned and formatted both partitions already a dozen times. why can't link2sd mount this ext 4 partition?
i created the partitions using minitool partition wizard. After I placed the sd card back into my phone, I rebooted into px recovery, mount the sd-ext and formatted sd-ext, and after that, link2sd still gave the same errors.
How can I get Link2SD working?

I forgot that stock rom can't work with ext 4. Changing file system to ext2 worked for me and solved the problem (for now).

Are you sure Link2SD works well on stock rom? Because last time I checked it doesn't work well on roms without init.d support. I myself couldn't get it to work on stock rom. It crashed most of the time. Do post the result.

Keep losing sd ext

I created an sdext with rom mgr and usaully take it from 2 to 3 with amon ra. Confirm ext 3 with partition tool.
Lately I have lost ext three times. Not sure why.
I have used DT and went to a rom that has auto a2sd and maybe that did it. Don't know if DT has been reinstalled off of one the roms I flash between. Next time I opened the Jave app to see a blank sdcard. Deleted that app. This time I opened Quick boot and and went into CWMod recovery and did a basic bu. Bu completed but could not boot, hung on X. Saw that sdext wont mount.
Restore seems to go ok, but at bottom of recovery screen it says:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Can't mount /sd-ext/!
Third time now and wondering what might be causing it.
I have sdformatter and can make another ext 3 partition and copy sd backup from pc to phone. Did that last time. Maybe rom mgr has been having issues. I don't do anything with rm I always boot into recovery. May need to go to amon_ra 1.9a full time.
Maybe stop using sdext and try ModInstallLocation, but heard that was no longer in Market.
Under MyPhone with MIUI .5 it shows sdext, but empty
MIUI .5 did load, don't know why it did and MicroMod 2.10 didin't, maybe too much mem used in the desire rom.
Under Quick System it shows ext as 458 and 323 free. Makes no sense. Maybe just the last reading it had. Internal free 69mb.
Maybe I just need to mount thru adb: mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. Not sure exactly how to type the syntaxes on sdk stuff.
I am not at home so can't see if I can mount sd thru pc or recovery or open sdformatter and see what it says.
Frustrated!
Ken
Can run DT which is not supported on MicroMod, I believe. I thought when you wipe and flash the ext is formatted and restored so DT would be removed if there.
I ran DT zipalign and it was ok. That was the only option to do other than Dalvik to sd. So do I have an ext or not?
I am cconfused on DT with different roms. I like MM 2.10 and would like to use it.
BTW: TB does not show an sd-ext either
Well, I restored an MIUI .5 bu and it works. Did a bu and showed ext backed up. But TB and Root Explorer show no ext info, mem size.

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.

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..

[Q] Please help - can't boot into recovery mount error

(Please let me know if this is the correct forum!)
I have a Motorola Milestone 1 (A853) with Open Recovery 1.46 on a 16GB card. I've been using this to try new roms for over 2 years now. Everything was fine until I tried to create an ext 2 partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but things went sideways. Needless to say I wiped the card, created a new 10GB Primary Partition on it and a 4 GB ext2 for further usage. Then, I restored backup items on the card (pictures etc.) plus a fresh new version of Open Recovery. Now, every time I am at the Recovery menu and try to apply sdcard:update.zip I get this message:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/command (<-- this is nothing new - seen it many times before but still able to boot into open recovery)
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
.. any ideas what to do?
It seems like your phone dont mount the sdcard properly.
Try out a 2ndboot OR. (there is one from kabaldan and one from FuFu)
get a proper sdcard, and unzip to the root OpenRecovery from this url: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897048
And voila! :good:
Thanks for the assistance guys.
The card is fine, It is seen in Windows perfectly with the 2 new partitions, but the phone is not seeing it. I was following MrTapa's guide here before the trouble started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750888 . When the card worked before, it was formatted using NTFS and both Windows and the phone could see it. Now, the 10 GB partition is NTFS and it has the additional 4 GB ext2 partition. Windows sees it, the phone does not.
Does Skrilax_CZ's note have anything to do with it? "If file "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" exists on your Milestone, delete it (prior to flashing the SBF)" <-- from http://modmymobile.com/forums/563-m.../531599-open-recovery-v1-46-11-21-2010-a.html

NTFS?
Replace it with FAT32. Then it should work.
In the link you provided check step 9 (though FAT32 should work fine even with 2GB cards)
Ok - so reformatted 10GB partition to Fat32 and loaded OpenRecovery again to root of sd card - same error. I might also mention that I tried Fat32 on another smaller (2GB) card with an ext2 partition and it gave the same error. I'm beginning to believe that this phone has a problem with multi-partition sd cards?
Just tried the original way - one partition using NTFS ... same error. Frustrating .. over 3 days on this now ...
NTFS and Android can not work.
Unless someone included ntfs-3g into the kernel - but that would be a madman's work...
Delete every partition off your sd card, boot up Android, it will prompt you to format it, do it.
Copy recovery (OpenRecovery directory + update.zip) to sd card, try booting to recovery.
If it works resize FAT partition created by android to make space for an ext partition, boot Android again to see if it's ok with the changes.
Solved - if anyone is trying create an additional ext2 partition remember that BOTH the FAT32 and EXT2 must be created as PRIMARY. The app I was using defaulted to logical ...

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

Try to use INT2EXT+ as it is much more stable than others. Also you might need to mount /system from CWM before flashing if its not getting copied.
