cant format ext partition

hi
i cant format my ext 3 partition from clockworkmod recovery. when ever i try it says
"error mounting ext partition skipping format" someone got any ideas

Try to repartiton/format your SD card, using partiton managers (GParted worked best for me).

im having a hard time upgrading from ext3 to ex4....
everytime i try to do something after upgrading from ext4 it tell me it cant mount the sd-ext partition
but everything works fine in ext3, im using gparted btw

[Q] cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 [SOLVED]

I had been trying to install the new oxygen 2.0.1 with and the data2whatever scripts and also tried to reformat my sd card to increase from 512 to 1024mb.
from what ive read i may have somewhoe reformatted my internal sd ext or did something to it.
I followed one fix found from hereHere
but that didnt help it made another problem which is: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) I/O error
error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
does anyone else know a link for a fix or how to fix the sd-ext on the internal storage?
Please please help
Thanks

CWM messed up mine, so that's why I never use Recoveries to do this job.
I fixed it using GParted. Deleted both partitions, created new ones and aligned both.
No problem ever since.

Hey thanks for the reply, can you explain a little more.
you deleted the mmcblk0p2 directory and created new ones?
Did you do that in adb with parted?
if not how did you go about with it?
Thank you

I booted GParted from my usb stick, and the phone was in recovery mode, where I mounted the SD Card (Advanced - Mount USB Storage).
Gparted recognized it as dev/sdb0 (I think) and showed to partitions.
Removed them both (showed 15 GB Unallocated space*) and created the 1GB Ext4 and then the Rest FAT32.
*=16GB is 15 GB usable space (just in case ).

Yeah thanks. I figured out how to do the sd card but i think my problem is the actual sd-ext folder in the system partition on the phone.
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblck0p2 (file exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!
ANy one else have any other suggestions??
im getting desperate

SOLVED
I finally solved this. the problem was that somehow i dont know but
when i made the ext 3 partition it was extened, so obviously recovery couldnt mount it so that was the problem.
I fixed it by following this guys thread Here using parted and the shell to format and partition my sd card
So relieved i fixed this.

Same problem was in my desire.however, solved by install RUU ROM to remove the root then I root again the problem solved.

{Q} Please help! Partitoned SD now can't mount it!

I want to try Synergy so I decided to partition my SD card. I did 0kb swap and like 700mb ext. Now I can't mount the SD card to move stuff back to it that I had backed up. I even tried to mount through Amon Recovery and still no dice. Please help! I tried to turn off USB debugging but still no luck. I'm running MIUI 1.5.23 currently...Thanks in advance.

Repartition your card in this manner:
Place a zero for the swap size, at least a gig for the ext2 partition and the rest for FAT. Afterwards, upgrade ext2 to ext3. You should be set afterwards.

[Q] Internal SD Problem, help please!

Hi all, i've a BIG problem.
Today, before installing ARHD 6.1.1 i've wiped all with SuperWipe and i format internal sd card with SDFormatter.
Now pc see internal sd with all file tranfered but recovery can't mount sdcard with this error:
E: can't mount /sdcard
I can't mount via adb also
so i can't flash rom or switch on my phone!!
Can you help me, please?

flash the new recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Also did you have enterprise mail on your phone. If so, your phone SD will be encrypted. So you may have to format SD in recovery.

I've last recovery yet and i've trouble formatting sdcard via recovery:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
skipping format...
Done.

Try to format with pc again and without sdformatter (fat32, 32 klusters). When I format with sdformatter, phone says wrong SD format.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

I've formatted with pc also but problem persists.

Did you try and format it as fat 32? and 32 k clusters?
Also what happens if you try and flash a stock Ruu onto it, that would probably tell the phone to reformat it.

I've formatted by PC in Recovery 5.8.4.0 after USB Mounting
The problem persists
I can't install RUU 'cause my HBOOT is 0.94 for 1.28.166.xx
The only RUU on line 166 (VODA CH-DE) is 1.26.166.xx

[Q] ROM can't find partition on SD card

I have a little problem with my WFS. I partitioned the SD card to use Int2Ext4, but the ROM keeps saying that no SD card is present, even if it does use the EXT partition. I can mount the card in CWM, I can see it's content there.
I'm using the ROM from OWL Project (this thread), the last version of it.
I would post there, but I don't have the post count yet.
Any advice? I'm currently repartitioning my SD card and try again. I reflashed the ROM a couple of times, fixed permissions as well from CWM.

Did you format your partition on the SD card with EXT4? INT2EXT4 only supports the ext4 file system, not ext2 or ext3. I use the INT2EXTV2 on myl WFS with the OWL ROM for a few weeks and it works without problems so far.

Yes, I used Ext4. I tried flashing Int2Ext, Int2Ext+, Int2ExtV2+ and Int2Ext4+ from CWM, but I was always stuck on bootloop. The only way I made it work was by extracting the script file from Int2Ext4+ and placing it in /system/etc/init.d of the ROM zip. Flashed it, it worked, but then I got this problem )
I'm thinking that maybe the FAT32 partition was not formatted correctly. So I'm doing that now.

I repartitioned the SD card and now it worked correctly. Weird is, I did the same thing as before, so I'm not really sure why it wasn't working in the first time.

i format the sdcard, cache, dalvik, etc then flash the script (data2sd or int2ext or int2ext+ or watever) then goto advanced then select partition sd card, select 512 MB and 0 MB for linux swap space. DONE, hope solves it for you

I have too WFS with OWL project and i dont have any problem with this
Go to recovery menu and here create partition (befor it backup sd card)
Then go to mount and storage menu > mount usb storage >connect usb cable > give cronomod on sd
Then go to install zip from sd card and instal cronomod INT2EXT+
And have more memory
After instal cronomod dont stres android start is first longer but only first then normal speed

Thanks for the answers. I did say I fixed it already by repartitioning the card. Probably I didn't format it right.
