Issue with wiping/factory reset on ext3 - Desire General

I am currently on leedroid and clockwork recovery
i am trying to switch to neophyte cause the apps2sd i just cant sort it out.
when i installed leedroid i did not had ext3
now i used gparded live cd and created fat32 and ext3
i ran this command on terminal
Code:
adb shell ls -l /data
and i did not find a symlink.
now through clockwork recovery i do a full factory reset to install neophyte
i am getting this error
Code:
----wiping data...
Formatting data..
Formatting cache....
Formatting SDEXT...
[COLOR="Red"]E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File Exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/[/COLOR]
Skipping format...
Formatting Sdcard:.android_Secure...
Data Wipe complete...
Why cant it format ext?
why cant i use apps2sd?

never mind i have sorted it out.
Please delete thread

cm6.0.1 mounting /data and /system

while running CM 6.0.1 i attempted to format the internal storage being the newb that i am, and not the device cannot mount the internal storage.
i have tried to wipe, restore, clear data and whatnot but i just get stuck at the splash screen
is there some command in adb that i can fix this with? or any way to fix it??
in recovery it says
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
E:cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
nevermind
somehow i managed to restore to a backup of the stock rom and go from there

[Q] Problem with Clockwork

I just used Amon Ra recovery to create an ext4 partition on my sd. Went fine, but now I've switched back to Clockworkmod recovery and every time it starts/I go back to main menu I get this error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
That first line shows up as well whenever I've tried to wipe dalvik cache for the last few months.
This whole error shows up when I try to create a backup as well right when it starts to backup cache, then just stops. doesn't backup cache or ext partition and doesn't generate md5 sum.

I tried that fix twice, but I keep getting this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 has unsupported feature<s>: extents gdt_checksum
e2sfck:Get a newer version of e2sfck!
and clockwork continues with the same errors at the main menu.
EDIT: Upon typing "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" in adb shell, I get the error "/sbin/sh: e2fsck: not found".

sounds like you trashed your internal EXT2 partitions.....I did the same with amon recovery..........here is the post I used to fix the situation:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
after I did this procedure, I had to unroot back to stock, then unrevoked again.

WTH man that sucks. all just because of retarded Amon ra ext partitioning for an sd card.

I thought I was changing my sd card from ext2 to ext4, too...... and somehow ended up changing the internal to ext4........took a little research to get it fixed.

That's odd. I used it just the other day to partition my SD card with 512mb sd-ext, 32mb swap, and the rest as FAT32 and it worked flawlessly. Something that clockwork couldn't do, mind you.

I worked, perfectly, to do that for me............it went awry when I tried to change the partition from ext2 to ext4. The new clockwork has the ability to partition your sd card in it..........but now I am gun shy to try.
I knew clockwork has problems partitioning sd, so I stayed away from it. That's why I used Amon Ra to get it done. did partition sd, then did ext2 to ext3 then to ext4. Then flashed back to Clockwork and next thing I know this problem comes up.
I had this same problem last night. I fixed it by going into ROM manager and reflashing clockwork
I tried reflashing recoveries, but that didn't work. I went through the process that was posted above and it fixed it, although I didn't have to RUU back or anything. I just formatted everything on my phone, pushed the 6 files and ran the parted program, then all was fine. Did the partition on my sd again to ext4 and now it works

clockworkmod, at least 2.5.0.5, can't handle ext4 partitions.

I'm on 2.5.0.5 and have an ext4 (that works now) and it seems fine.

Interesting. When I created an sd-ext partition ext4 clockwork wouldn't recognize it, giving me the same errors above. Switching it to ext2 worked fine.

[Q] E:Cant Mount No Such Device

Trying to install RCHDMIX but when trying to mount SD-EXT get an error.
When I tried to mount it in RA Mon Recovery I got an error message saying "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such device) I have tried several cards but all the same.
I have tried the adb method - fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Still nothing.
Please help!
Thanks!
Do you have an ext partition on your sd card? If not use amon ra to create one

yep has a partition. First one is fat32 the other is ext3 created with amonra
I think your ext partition has some problems.
You may try to backup and reformat it using lunux.

Recovery Issues

Issue started after a nandroid backup (using clockwork 2.5.0.5). Backup froze, i ended up pulling the battery. When i go back into clockwork to try the backup again i now get the following:
clockwork recovery v2.5.0.5
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
e:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
e:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
I wiped cache, factory reset, wiped dalvik. Even tried formatting boot system, system, data and cache. Was able to reload stock 2.1 through hboot, re-rooted, but get same error and cannot get clockwork to mount sd-card to go any higher.
When I try to mount sd-card through clockwork the following appears:
e:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1) (no such file or directory)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is the SD card full?
Absent that, perhaps make a copy of the SD card on PC, reformat FAT32, place last known working backup on SD and see if you can restore that backup.
If that fails, perhaps d/l another ROM on PC, transfer to SD card, flash, see what you get.
I tried two different sdcards. Both were formatted as fat32. From the articles i have looked at i think i may have screwed up the internal storage. Followed this article:
h t t p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage
They say to run "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2". When i do that it formats the sdcard to ext2. Still have the same issue. Doesn't appear to see the internal at all.
What command can i run from adb shell to display all the storage, volumes or partitions the system i can see?
Again any help is greatly appreciated!
I think just typing command 'mount' will list all mounts.

Formatted and partitioned SD card (fat32 and ext2) not mounting with Redux rom.

I've created a ~500mb ext2 partition on my sdcard on redux custom rom 1.0.2 on htc desire. However, Link2sd doesn't seem to like this partition (complains that it can't mount and can't write a script to automount at boot), but then I read that redux comes with something installed already. However, it doesn't seem to be using the partition properly.
Mount shows up thus:
#mount
...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
...
Any suggestions about what I need to do to get this partition used as part of the system storage?
Thanks in advance.
Try ext3 / ext4.
AFAIK ext2 is no longer supported in the scripts.
According to EASEUS partition Manager this partition is already ext3, but according to my mount command above it's ext2 - now I'm really confused. . Any other suggestions?
Hi there,
I do have similar problems.
After flashing latest Redux2 Rom, my Desire refuses to mount my SD-Card. I'm not able to see it in the Settings, nor am i able to flash or Restore anything from it in Recovery mode.
After trying going to "Flash zip from sdcard" i get the Error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No sich file or direktory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
I already tried the SD-Card in another phone and it's working proberly. I Already formated it on the other phone and tried formating it in Recovery.
As a result i'm also unable to reRoot it with unRevoked as the Phone won't go into USB mode...
Any suggestions how i might fix this problem?
MfG
Dominik
