Hi all-
When I wipe my Dalvik cache, I get a message saying:
Can't mount mmcblk1p2
Followed by a message saying my cache was wiped.
Is this a problem?
Thanks.

This should be in Q&A, I receive the same error. Doesn't seem to carry any adverse effects but I am curious.

I'm not new to this but seems if I have a problem wiping dalvik cache with Clockworkmod recovery.
Every time I try and select that option (recovery->advanced->wipe dalvik->then takes me to the screen asking if I want to do it and it gives me an error. Its a mounting error
E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(Invalid argument)
or
E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
when I press yes it takes me to main menu instantly. Usually (on my nexus) it would take a little while to wipe.
How do you guys wipe it, and do you get that error? If not, how do I fix it?
I have tried reinstalling recovery, fixing permissions, still gives me error.
Edit: included error, formatting and spelling
Edit 2: ive done more research, and it appears to be "a benign error, more or less referring to an SD-ext partition on your SD card for apps2sd. You don't have it formatted for it, so the recovery cannot find it and thus gives you that error. It should not effect the install, and should still clear dalvik."

is this the case? is it still wiping my dalvik cache?
EDIT 3: SOLUTION ,some more digging around:

I just have the Rom Manager app take me into recovery. In recovery i scroll down to advance and wipe the dalvik cacah with no problem.
I also get this same error. I don't know why. I think it not completely wiping dalvik was the cause for my faulty restore from nandroid a few days ago. Anybody know a fix for this?
Thanks for the solution! Will try it and report back.

so ya, its not really a problem, it still wipes dalvik cache. That was all i was looking for. im not going to bother creating another partition on my sd card. But, you are welcome.
I noticed when booting into CWM on my Arc (V5.0.2.7 by Doomlord) I'm receiving errors regarding the cache partition not being able to be mounted.
Below is what is appearing:
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
e: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
e: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Now, here is what I've done so far:
- I've tried to wipe the cache, but same error
- Tried to format the cache but I receive the below error:
E: format_volume: no MTB partition "cache"
This leads me to believe there is something wrong with the partition table?
Has anyone got a fix for this on the Arc?
Thanks

I think ur partition seems to be broken.
Try to reformat the partition

I've already tried to reformat the partition, and I receive this error "E: format_volume: no MTB partition "cache""
Anyone have any ideas?
Hey all, as I was trying to factory reset under TWRP, it would not let me and showed,
E: Unable to mount `/sd-ext'
How would I fix this?

Our device does not have an sd-ext partition. Use the latest TWRP 2.6 and erase system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Sent from my One V using xda premium
Ohh, I have been using TWRP 2.3
Thanks! I'll try flashing TWRP 2.6
After trying to wipe it in TWRP it says unable to wipe sd/ext
Sd_ext is just a partition on you sdcard that does not exist unless you have created one.
It's just stating could not format sd_ext because it's not there
Do not fret my friend, it still factory resets like it's supposed to
Hi All,
I searched for this, and didn't see anything, so please forgive me if this has been covered before...
My son has an Incredible that was updated to Evervolv last month (I'd tell you the exact build, but...). The day before yesteday, it crashed with the error message saying process android.phone has stopped. The screen was unresponsive at that point, and the phone wouldn't shutdown by holding the power button down (tried holding it for over a minute, and nothing...). I pulled the battery and tried to restart the phone. Everything seemed to be booting normal, but he'd immediately get either the "process.android.phone has stopped" or "process.android.media has stopped" (or both in succession), and the phone would then freeze. Pulled the battery again and booted into recovery (CM ver. 5.0.2.0) to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, but am getting errors there as well:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I did try to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache, and it seemed to do that OK (at least, doing so didn't throw any other errors), but that didn't fix the bootloop problem. Next, tried to do a factory reset from recovery. Got the following results:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /datadata...
E:format_volume: no MID partition "datadata"
Formatting /sd-ext...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext. (No problem -- no SD card installed)
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Rebooted, and still stuck in bootloop...
So, any ideas on what I should try next to get this phone up and running again? I haven't run into this much trouble with this phone before.
Thanks, and Saludos!

probably need to charge it at this point. Format data (factory reset)
wipe cache and then dalvik and flash a different rom
Will try this evening and report back...

Ehh... No luck. Tried copying another ROM to an external sd card, and CWM won't mount the external SD card. Tried renaming the ROM UPDATE.ZIP and got this error:
Code:
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:update.zip]
E:can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
any other ideas, or is this one a goner?
I'd try changing to the latest TWRP. The newer CWM never played well with my phone.
Will try that this evening. Need to configure ADB on my laptop, though, since I can't seem to mount emmc or external sd card right now.
Thanks for the advice.

Its all a guess on my end maybe your sd card is failing.... have you tried a different sd card make sure its fat32

Yep, tried two other SD cards with no luck. Can't get the phone to mount either of them, though they were freshly formatted. Also can't get ADB to see this phone to push anything to it. Gonna retire it, I guess...
Thanks to all for the recommendations!

Thanks. I've decided to retire this phone -- the failure to boot was really the last straw for it.
