Hey,
I created the [Fat32 + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap] partitions through gparted, all went well in gparted and it says it done. But when i try to install rom through CWM it throws an error that it can't mount ext partition. The error message is copied here...
"Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
invalid argument
Error mounting SDEXT:! "
Any help would be appreciated, thankyou
any workaround???
Error says, there is definiately something wrong with your partitions. Did you create theam as Primary and not logical?

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
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.
Try ext3 / ext4.
AFAIK ext2 is no longer supported in the scripts.
According to EASEUS partition Manager this partition is already ext3, but according to my mount command above it's ext2 - now I'm really confused. . Any other suggestions?
Hi there,
I do have similar problems.
After flashing latest Redux2 Rom, my Desire refuses to mount my SD-Card. I'm not able to see it in the Settings, nor am i able to flash or Restore anything from it in Recovery mode.
After trying going to "Flash zip from sdcard" i get the Error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No sich file or direktory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
I already tried the SD-Card in another phone and it's working proberly. I Already formated it on the other phone and tried formating it in Recovery.
As a result i'm also unable to reRoot it with unRevoked as the Phone won't go into USB mode...
Any suggestions how i might fix this problem?

Use the search. Problem got solved very often.
Hi,
I was flashing the latest Miui gingerbread rom and accidently flashed the X-Parted data2ext version, instead of my usual d2w, Since flashing and running the d2ext rom I have been getting this error whilst trying to flash a stable rom(Miui gingerbeard not stable),
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
I have formatted ext partition manually through g-parted, deleted partition and re-partitioned formatted the entire sd card changed ext types but as yet cannot remove the problem, I have had the same issue before with Miui, but formatting solved it.
I have also tried googling this but none of the solutions match my problem nor are they particularly easy to follow.
Can any1 help??

As I posted many times, this error:

happens, when card is not partitioned/wrongly partitioned.
If you use Gparted first create the FAT32 partition and then the EXT partition(s). And make all of the PRIMARY, not logical.
I created a ext2 partition using CWM when I installed my JJ Hybrid 3.1 ROM. I can mount the ext2 with Link2SD without any problems.
After I had updated to 3.2, I seemed to have lost the partition. When I launched Link2SD, it asked my to mount but I received a mount script error.
Here's the error:
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: Invalid argument
ext2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition.

I have not try mounting it using FAT32 yet though because I previously mounted in ext2.
What is the problem?
You'll need to wipe the sd-ext2, and re-install link2sd. Back up your apps or move them to internal storage first.
You mean to wipe my ext2 partition using Link2SD? (Clean up the 2nd partition)
However, upon selecting that option it gives me this error
/data/sdext2 mount not found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does that mean my partition is missing? I had to partition it again? Does updating ROM caused the partition to disappear?
Hi, I've got a problem on my HTC Desire.
When i try to clean delvik or wipe sd-ext, i have an error like this:
Code:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
I've tried to format SD card (made ext3 as primary), but no dice - still can;t mount sd-ext.
It is possible now to install ROM (LeeDroid), but ut freezes on bootscreen.

Why is the ext primary the fat partition needs to be the first partition on sd card.
Same Problem With Me!

Mini tool partition wizard HE.
I've found the info, that both partitions have to be set as "primary".
I had FAT 32 as primary, and ext3 as logical, but it didn't work either.
I will try to set ext4 instead of ext3, maybe that would work. I'll let you know in the evening CET.
thats ur problem, minitool, it creates bad partitions and dont align them properly. use 4ext recovery, works perfect.

i used 4ext recovery.... but still same problem!
can u suggest something different or step by step?
i used both ext4 n ext3.... but didnt helped!
What he means is, use the recovery named 4EXTRecovery. Search for the recovery image here in xda or google it, then flash it via fastboot OR download the 4EXTRecovery Updater from here if your current rom is rooted. (you can also use the updater to just download the recovery image in case your current rom ist not rooted). Then boot into recovery and partition your sd, first partition fat32, second 4ext.
BTW primary in this context doesn't mean first partition, but means that the partition type is primary (as opposed to logical).
