Is it possible for someone to create a script to convert ext3 to ext4 and backwards.
I'v flashed my recovery menu with unrevoked, and clockmodwork doesn't support ext partitions in their recovery image.

This recovery allows you to convert your ext3 partition to ext4 (not backwards)
But you can easily do it within Linux using GParted
I've tried that.
When i start gparted it indeed can let me format back to ext3, only when i format back to ext3 i will lose my data on the ext4 partition.
I thought maybe there was a option to create a GScript script, so i can run it on my phone.
Have you try to mount ext4 as ext3?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
The ext3 file system is partially forward compatible with ext4, that is, an ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext3 partition (using "ext3" as the filesystem type when mounting). However, if the ext4 partition uses extents (a major new feature of ext4), then the ability to mount the file system as ext3 is lost.

PULL the files from the ext4 partition, then format it to ext3 and PUSH them back.

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.
What are the benefits ClockworkMod with ext4 support?
support ext4
all wipe do in ext4 filesystem.
but i think, that ext3 or ext4 on DHD not too serious.
ext4 work better than ext3 only on large servers
Hi,
I used this guide (cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_Guide) to install CM9 on my Xperia Play. After everything worked out well I decided to "extend" my external memory by using s2e and an ext3 partition. First I created a big primary fat32 (~29GB) partition and then a primary ext3 partition (~1.5GB) on my sd card. Now the problem: s2e doesn't recognize this ext3 partition. When booting to recovery it's possible to successfully use "mount /sd-ext". When booting to CM9 I can't find /mnt/sd-ext, /sd-ext or any similar mount point (Where is it or where should it be?). Just for testing purpose and because I'm not allowed to create an own mount point (Why that by the way?) I unmounted /mnt/obb and mounted my ext3 partition there by using "mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/obb" in the Terminal Emulator and it worked.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't simple2ext recognize my ext3 partition?
I just tried link2sd and it worked. Now I'm wondering even more why s2e doesn't! Any ideas?
Are there any Kernels out yet that enable EXT3 or EXT4. I need to be able to mount an EXT4 Partition on my SD to move Apps off system memory as its full, other than a kernel is there any other way to mount EXT4?
