Cwm does an ext3 partition, if ur using DTa2sd..it can be converted to ext4 by
su
a2sd convert-ext4

Yes, it is perfectly fine if you make one with gparted or mini tools... make sure you run this command in terminal before flashing a2sd...
mount | grep sd-ext
thanks to both
what mount | grep sd-ext exactly do?
aso my gparted already see my sdext partition ext4 if i partitioned it from recovery is that possible or an error?
That command checks if there exists an sd ext partition.
I don't know abt gparted but cwm formats the card and partitions it so it should not be a prob
I used minitools for partitioning
u can go for ext4 no harm in tht
if ur using mini tool make sure u keep all partitions as primary
also ext2/3/4 wont b detected on windows so dont panic if u dont see the partitions once done they r thr meant for ur phone nt windows
Without a2sd what is the exact command to convert partition to ext4 ? It can be very useful

yeah, but "problem" is after a restore. If we convert partition in ext4 after restore, all data already in partition remain on ext3, only new data will be on ext4.
So it will be good that cwm could format always sdext in ext4
Okay, a question from me...
I have a galaxy fit s5670, running a custom rom that came with darktremor a2sd pre-installed...

I have installed link2sd, which seems to be working fine...
When it asked me what partition type did I have, ext3 and 4 gave me a 'partition not found' error...
Ext2 is working fine...

I believe that you are taking about the cache that will use your internal memory even if you have a2sd enabled. THough it is not recommended to do so unless needed (i.e. your memory is very low) you can move dalvik cache to sd-ext from APP2SDGUI app or though this simple command
su
a2sd cachesd
It will move dalvik cache to sd-ext.

Don't try anything eles.... Just install darktremor as said here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
If possible format your sd-ext before installing darktermor app2sd. THen all you need to so is move dalvik to sd-ext as said above. And your internal memory will be totally empty. You can explorer /sd-ext/ folder using root explorer to see if a2sd is working properly.
After using link2sd for a day, I find that it is working, and it even allows u to specify which apps to move, and what all to move...
I did partition before using a2sd, and I understand the thing about the dalvik cache (moving which would make my device slower)...
Anyways, thanks for replying...

thanks for your guideline
I created an ex3 partition (1gb) using minitool partition wizard for using Link2SD application. But cwm cannot mount the new partition, so naturally Link2SD can't see the partition. I'm using Acecream rom 1.4.
What can i do?
CWM should not mount the second partition, Link2SD has to do that.

Format sd-ext from cwm recovery. It will format it in ext-3 format by default. Then try to get it detected in link2sd. If cwm can't format sd-ext, then try formatting sd-ext using minitool again. May be the first time partition was not created correctly. You may also try to format it in ext2 format as well and then test it.
CWM could not format the partition that i created with minitool. Because I tried re-create, shrink and reformat (also changing ext3 to ext2) but still same. As far as i understand CWM can't do format process because can't mount partition.
Link2SD should ask for creating mount scripts. Select "Ext3", then you will be asked for rebooting your phone, reboot.

Yes, Link2SD asked for mount and I selected ext 3, but it couldn't do that . It gave an error something like "unable to mount....".
I want to ask someting different. What happens if I don't create ext3 partition? Link2SD now can move the aplications on SD card. What is the benefit of creating Ext 3 partition?
MOVING to the SD card is only moving a part of the application.
LINKING to the SD card is moving the whole application (apk, dex, lib).
In Link2SD, click on menu, select more, recreate mount scripts, and select ext2.
If that doesn't work, try again and select another one.

I found the reason. We have to make primary (in minitool) the new partition. After that Link2SD automatically found the new partition.
Thank you alot again (I clicked the thanks button of course )

Make sure that the ext3 partition is a primary partition not a logical partition.

Here's the problem:
It seems that clockworkmod v 5.0.2.8 that i used isnt for working for me cause i cant choose ext format when partioning my sdcard (i cant download the latest CWM TOUCH 5.2.0.8 ext link is dead)maybe this is the problem not choosing a ext format for my sdcard.
Can someone pls give a working link??
And is it safe if i remove the partion without sdreader(removing the partition with galaxy mini connected to the computer)???
Please Help me:laugh:

i have a partition but im not using it so i decided to remove partition with home partition wizard provided by yagya's tut.
just mount your sdcard with your mobile
copy all the data to PC
then boot in recovery
then go to mount and storage
from there format sdcard
and you will have single partition
then mount sdcard again and copy your data back
its very simple
Ok I will try this on Friday cause I'm busy)
