I've got a new SD card and I wanna move all my data to it?
But how?
I'm running leedroid A2SD+ and with a 512 ext3 partition on my old card.
I tried to make a 1gb ext3 partition on my new card using ubuntu and moved the data there but the phone don't see the partition.
Could someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to migrate properly
Thanks
Read this, you can use Gparted instead of rom manager.

I hope I am now putting this in the right place but I am getting very frustrated. Decided to bite the bullet and rooted my Desire at the weekend. As I have W7 64bit, I decided to use the Tiny Core Linux method mentioned by benko286.
I installed a Modaco ROM with A2SD+ and so far so good.
Rom Manager allowed me to install the Rom from the SD card. I then used Rom Manager to partition the SD card with a 512mb Ext3 partition and a 32mb swap partition so that I could take advantage of A2SD+.
However, when I install new programs they seem to be going to the phone memory as the space on the phone memory is going down.
I copied the Rom zip file back to the Fat32 partition on the SD card and tried to install the Rom again from scratch using Rom Manager. All I get now is a big red ? and after a few seconds the phone reboots again.
What have I done wrong?
Also, if I use Acronis Disk Director to partition the card, there is an option for the Ext3 partition to be primary or logical - should this be primary and should the Linux swap partition be before of after the Ext3 partition?
All help gratefully received!
TIA

You can partition from recovery. Note you need to back up the sd card as you will lose everything. You have to create 0 swap, 512mb ext 2 and rest fat 32 partition. Then you can upgrade to ext 3 in recovery.

Hello,
how can I get info if my ROM supports extX partition on SD Card? I'd like use ext3/4 partition on sd for installing apps etc. I've default ROM in HTC WFS (Android 2.3.3). Because now, I can't find anything in my phone about existing ext4 partition (about 700MB) on SDCard... Also, I've linux-swap partition
Refreshing...
Maybe I should ask other quesion: which ROMs for HTC WFS supports ext partitions on SD card?
try this

I have a backup.
Someone please help?
If ur changing roms you will have to just backup your apps without the data, put the backup on your computer, then in recovery partition your sdcard to what the rom dev recommends then install the rom then put the backup back on your sdcard and install them all again.

I've experienced this. Backup your entire sd card to your computer. There is no other way to do it. Partition your card without saving the FAT32. Set the size of the EXT partition you want, swap 0. That should do it.
Lets say you set 512MB as your SD EXT partition, and the rest is FAT32, the next time you try and repartition your SD EXT saving your FAT32, you can only partition it to less than the existing SD EXT partition. On my example that would be 512MB.
The reason you are getting that error when you do it right now is because you basically do not have an ext partition. So no exisiting ext partition=not enough space to work with.
