[Q] ext3/4 always mounted as ext2

I've created a ext3/4 partition (after fat32) but it's always mounted as ext2 on all the ROMs I've tested (OxygeN, MIUI, LeeDroid, AOSP, dtapps2sd). 'parted' identified the partition as ext3/4 as well. Any help is very much appreciated.
mount point info:
/sd-ext:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ext2 rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered

How to tell what filesystem?

Hi all, I just used CW Recovery to make a 1gb extra partition but don't know which version ext it made. Can someone provide me with some code to write in my terminal to line up my sd-card partition. Thanks.

Afaik cwm makes ext2 by default, check with 'mount' from terminal, look for sd-ext and if will say ext2/3/4 next to it.

Thanks man.
It seems that the cvm provided in the [Nightly]CM7 thread made ext4 filesystem, atleast that's what I have but it could be the data2ext mod I flashed that converted the ext2 to ext4, I don't know.

More chance that the data2ext mod formated your partition with ext4

Formatted and partitioned SD card (fat32 and ext2) not mounting with Redux rom.

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?

Ext2 partition unable to mount

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?

[Q] Can't mount ext3 partition in CM9 for use with s2e

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?
