Link2SD requires the second partition be formatted ext4 if you will be utilizing symbolic links which is highly recommend. You won't be able to see/manage the contents of that partition from Windows - nor do you need to.
well thanks now im not getting that error anymore, but now when i move the stuff to the SD card for example dead trigger 2 500MB another app 300MB and another at 200mb that should free aprox 1 gig and had 600mb free internal but moveing all that with both the link2sd and move to external option and now i only have 700mb internal storage, so this oviusly still is not working properly it is doing same crap as stock option and only moveing the data and nothing else.

As with every storage media you can actually partition the mSD. By default it ships as a single partition that is FAT32 formatted (otherwise Microsoft couldn't play Mafia and press license fees out of Android phone manufacturers as the FAT file format is copyrighted by Microsoft).

You can partition the mSD in either ClockworkMod recovery or you can turn off your phone, take the mSD out of the phone and put it into a card reader and then partition the card on your computer by i.e. EASEUS Partition Manager (Windows) or gparted (Linux).

I don't know how you usually check if your hoe is working (oh how I love typos), but you can check if the SD card partitions are working this way:
- Boot the phone
- Once it's booted up and you have no warning about the SD card then the partition mounted at /mnt/sdcard works. To check if /mnt/sd-ext is also working either open the "Terminal", type "su" (without the quotes) followed by "mount" which will return all currently mounted devices.

If you create a sd-ext partition (USE SEARCH to know what this means!) you can move your apps out of the internal phone memory onto the sdcard (this actually even works without a designated sd-ext partition). However, you can't move each and every app to the SD ... apps coming with widgets, apps that start automatically upon boot, a widget or a live wallpaper can't be moved to the SD as it will stop working.
Swap on the SD (to have virtual memory - much like the "pagefile.sys" of Windows or the swap partition of Linux) only decreases the lifespan of your SD most likely considerably when there's a whole lotta swapping going on - apart from needing a custom kernel as the Stock doesn't support swap.

A Class 4 mSD isn't blazing fast, but it should be about sufficient. In general, the higher the number of the Class, the faster the card, the more fluid the I/O transfers.

Look into the "Advanced settings" menu - and note that not each version of CWM contains that functionality. CWM 4.0.1.5 that is in some thread around here does not have the partitioning capabilities, CWM 3.2.0.0 (as shipped with GingerDX) is able to perform it, CWM 5.x.x.x as in nAa's or Alfs' custom kernel is up to your for checking out.

How to partition??
you rather answered some different question.. well I am on stock kernel and my recovery has the advanced option derived is partition option also is it safe? ??? and it asks for swap which 1 to select????

Depends on what you want to do ...
- swap and a normal data partition
Create a ~256-512MB swap partition
Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition
- sd-ext and a normal data partition
Create a ~1GB ext3 or ext4 PRIMARY partition and name it "sd-ext" (w/o quotes)
Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition
- swap and sd-ext and normal data partition
Create a ~256-512MB swap partition

Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition
And ... this information could also be found by using the Forum search!
AM WELL AWARE ABOUT THE SEARCH.BUTTON! !!!
well if you read the 1st post .. I have mentioned clearly that I am noob at android.
All I want is a brief explanation on partition ..
I read some were swap ain't supported on stock kernel and I an on stock kernel ....
Do I need a computer to partition? ??? please explain the process briefly......

Hi
I partition my SD card in nAa-11 recovery (256 SWAP and 768 EXT, 7 GB free), and now I can't restore it to his original condition - 8GB. Windows didn't see 8GB, just 7GB and I can format it, but it always shows 7GB as the total available space.
Any ideas, guys? I have to remount dis partitions in terminal emulator, or what?
You need to use a Partition Tool that supports Linux partitions, like GParted.
EDIT: A more easy way is repartitioning your SD from Recovery, setting SWAP and EXT to 0.
Use SDFormatter V3.1 and make sure you select format size adjustment ON option. A quick format should be ok.

use your android fone to format sd card.. in settings go to sd card and phone storage settings then unmount your sd card and then format it.. after formatting mount it back and now your partiotion was gone you can now see your 8 gb storage
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
try to mount your sdcard to your computer using a card reader, then re-format with GParted (if you're using Linux) or Mini Tool Partition Wizard (if you're using Windows)
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but:
I partitioned my memory card into 2 so I could install apps to sd card using Link2sd. The first partition where all the data was being saved got corrupted and had to be formated. In the process I have lost all the data that came on it originally. I have tried using the Android File Recovery, it does recovers all the files, but the directory structure is lost.
Is there any way I could get the data back that was there originally?
The partitions on card are in Fat32 format.
Hello!
I'm trying to make an ext3 partition (300mb) and swap partition (128mb) on a 16gb SanDisc mircoSD.
The problem is that when i put a microSD into my computer, the miniTool shows i have 44mb FAT partition and 14gb unallocated space. My phone (and computer when microSD is in the phone) sees full 14GB SDcard.
So, when i partition the card by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning , and after i click Apply, computer sees only 44mb on my SD card. when i unplug the card and plug in again, my computer one time sees 44mb, another 14gb. MiniTool shows i have 44mb FAT and 14gb unallocated space again.
I tried to make only FAT32 partition, but my card still has only 44mb FAT and 14gb unallocated.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with the card or what do i do wrong? Please help me
try format using CWM
then partition using CWM too
thats simpler than minitool
but u cant custom the size
only 64 128 256 etc
Use MiniTool Partition - Home Edition
If your computer is running windows this is normal..
If you were running a superior OS like linux you would not have this issue..
Windows cannot read or write to superior file systems like ext3 & ext4..
It won't even see the swap partition either..
Hmm, im using Windows 7 and MiniTool Partition - Home Edition. In the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning), as i can see, the operating system is Windows 7, so i don't think it's system problem.
Maybe i'll try to do this from another PC.
Hi, yesterday i installed the razodroid 2.5 rom , i need improve the internal memory of my device, can you help me , i had a 16GB sd card , i had particioned with minitool particion wizard but my phone app link2sd recognize the particion but show me the netx text: Mount script cannot be created mount: Invalid argument .

What filesystem is on your 2nd partition of the SD card? Make sure you select the correct filesystem in Link2SD when you create the mount script.
Mount the 2nd partition of your SD Card and transfer a file to it to make sure its been set up properly then delete the file.
Try repartitioning the SD card with ClockWorkMod Recovery, it does a better job of partitioning and creating filesystems on flash memory than partitioning tools meant for rotating storage.
Repartition using a different filesystem, when I setup Link2SD the only one that I could get to work was FAT32 but since you have the Razodroid ROM which includes Rafael's kernel I would have thought any FAT or ext filesystem would have worked. Incidentally before I got it working I was getting a similar error regarding "Mount script cannot be created" IIRC.
Hi i used ext4, but i just can make a link , when i check the capacity show me 200Mb total memory

So it's working then or not?
Link2SD works by basically fooling Android into believing an app is on internal memory when its on the SD card. It does this by moving files to the SD card and then creating a link to them in internal memory. So you won't see an increase in internal memory capacity by using Link2SD. However when you link an app with Link2SD you will free up space in the internal memory which allows you to install far more apps.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955422
, but read carefuly the instructions !!!

RazoDroid v2.5 build version has had Link2SD removed i assume this was done for a reason as its a popular app, it might be worth checking out the thread to see if they mention why. Just a thought have you checked to make sure that both Partitions are primary?

Hi there.
After you make your SD card as adoptable storage, you have to go back to the Storage options and choose Move Data.
This will transfer all possible data from original internal phone storage to the new internal SD card storage.
Also have a good look at this awesome adoptable storage tool which enables you to create 2 partitions on the SD card, one for adoptable internal storage and the other partition for normal SD external storage allowing you as normal to use it to store music, pictures, videos, etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
Alternatively if you are a root user, have a look at this amazing app which will allow you to link nearly all apps to your SD card and therefore free up most of your internal phone storage.
I personally bought the Pro version from Google Play because it is that good!

Enjoy!

If you have rooted phone you could partition your sd-card to ext4 and fat32(this partition works as normal memory card).
Then you could download app like Apps2sd or link2sd and link(move) apps into the ext4 partition of the sd-card.

Download Apps2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en
1. select link apps
2. Create mount script
3. Reboot
4. Link apps to sd card
Also 30GB is probably way more than you would need. Probably 2-10GB would be enough.
ok so it is better to use 10 gb for the ext4 ?
i have some question only one partition will be shown in the settings is it right ? alsow i have some trouble how i formate correc.t i have usen mini partition have made partition with fat32 and one with ext4
but when i look at apps2sd formating tool there will be 3 partitions created. one partition have name SWAP Partition. Do i need this ?
and is this tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
agood way to formate ? or is my way with mini partition manager alsow good ?
and with mini partiton manager i made all partitions as primary is it okay ?
i have used this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875 then 2 partitions will be shown but not with the correct size ii habe a 64 gb sd card but my smartphone shows 40 gb and 35 gb Oo
