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.

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

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

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...

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.

Link2sd doesn't need /init.d, only root and partitioned sd to work.
I use CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
When I do a factory reset, CWM formats my EXT4 partition to EXT3.
When I format SD-EXT from "mounts and storage" it formats my EXT4 partition to EXT3.
How can I fix this?
Also, how is EXT4 different from EXT3? Which one is better?
CWM formats into ext3 by default. Can't change it.
Personally, ext3 works fine enough. Never faced any problems till now.

Need help people. Am using Stock Based ROM and till date used Link2SD for linking apps 2 sd card.
Now i want to try a different ROM which has cronmod script already installed. The OP suggested me to get rid of Link2Sd script first. Uninstalled Link2Sd and tried to flash ROM again. No Success.
Now can someone please tell me that mere uninstalling Link2sd app removes the script too? Or i need to do something else too?

Wipe your sd-ext partition via cwm (wipe data) and flash a new rom.. you can use your sd-ext partition flasing other scripts as INT2EXT, in my opinion the best sd-ext script
