[Q] About the ext3 partition size

Hello !
Is it possible to use an ext3 partition which size is greater than 512 MB ? Thanks by advance.

Yes, but you can't create a ext3 bigger than 512 MByte with the ROM-Manager. Use AmonRA Recovery or Linux (gparted) to create a ext3 partition at the end of the SD (FAT32, ext3).

yes you can.....i currently have 1gb...and believe me you won't need any more than that even in 2 years....
i recommend you to use the gparted for formatting the sdcard

[Q] Using G1 Sdcard with G1 partition setup should I format?

Hey guys I am using my sdcard from my G1 with an ext3 (maybe ext4) partition, a swap partition, and a fat32 partition. Should I format and just leave the fat32 partition? or should I just delete the swap partition? I figure I won't need it since the Vision has 512mb ram. Thank you.

you also don't need the ext since you have nearly 2gb of storage accessible to you.
format to just fat32 and you'll be golden

Apps2sd using sd-ext CM7

Hi,
I have created a separate partition on my SD card for sd-ext and formatted it using pc (Ubuntu) to ext4 then ext3 then ext2 and used Recovery to format sd-ext but whilst apps2sd works, the app is stored on the main FAT32 partition rather than the sd-ext.
Is this still possible to do? I know that apps2sd working using the primary partition is still apps2sd but I would prefer them to use the sd-ext partition.
Many thanks.
p.s. all relevant info is in sig.

[Q] what does a2sd+ actually do?

i have installed miui a2sd+ edition... i have created a 512mb ext partition... i still have low storage issue... but i still have a lot of space available on my 512mb partition... (only 100mb is used up) and internal storage i have only 20mb left... why aren't the apps stored fully on the ext partition?

u have to flash the rom after u create ext3 partition

yup already flashed the rom.... still it used 100mb out of 512mb of ext partition but i have only 20mb internal space available.. why aren't all internal memory moved to ext partition?

There is plenty of information about what a2sd+ is and does. Try searching!
If you need more space search fire data2sd.

ok thx... so basically what i am reading is that a2sd+ is mostly like the move to sdcard feature of froyo and gingerbread...? 512nb is way too much if i understand correctly

okie i installed data2ext version of miui!! it's great!! i now have a true 1gb internal storage!!!

[Q] Ext Partition

Hi
I am having trouble to make my phone recognize my ext partition
THis is what I did ...
Format sd into FAT32
Use Gparted to resize FAT32 into a 6.4gb and 1GB ext4 and 32mb linux swap
And i wiped all data and installed the ROM(Reflex S 2.1.5)
When I boot into ROM, and go to Setting->Application ... i see i can use only 134mb as internal disk space
But in Storage and Mounts I can see that there is 1GB of ext partition
Please help

Your phone recognize the memory since in Settings it tells you have 1GB. You need to use a script called A2SD+ to be able to use that memory. The script will move almost all applications to that partition, but still use some of your phone's memory so you don't need to worry. This is normal.

But I did do the same process for my friend ... Installed same ROM and it recognizes his ext as internal

Are you sure the partition is formatted correctly and the ROM you are using supports a2sd+?

I can see
Total Space - 6.4GB
Avlbl SPace -6.15GB
Available on ext partition - 616mb
INTERNAL STORAGE
Available Space on /System - 9.13mb
Avialable Space on /Data - 130mb

Try reformat your SD card directly from GParted. So you enter in gparted, delete all partitions, make FAT32 Primary (First), make EXT4 Primary (Sencond) with no space between the partitions.
Also do you have installed A2SD+ script??
