I've been trying to install custom roms for a few days. Now I finally got one to work. But There is still one mega problem. I can't install or download anything from anywhere. Reason is probably that the cache is f'ed.
When I installed rom I alway got:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24 (invalid argument)
Error mounting /cache/!
Skipping format...
Cache wipe complete.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24 (invalid argument)
.
.
.
I tried fixing permissions, wiping dalvin cache and wiping data/factory and still the cache wouldn't mount!!!
Now when a rom finaly worked, I couldn't download any apps, because of cache issue. So I went to see what permissions the cache folder had, and it had all permissions.
What should I do now???

It would be interesting to see how it's trying to mount the cache partition and what argument it's invalid. On a linux system this information can usually be found in a file called fstab in the /etc folder. I looked for a similar file on my Defy but haven't found one yet (I would need to make a thorough search to find that file) but if I remember well, on android emulator I saw file with a similar name, having the same content as a normal fstab file.
When I'll get home, I'll make a more thorough analysis on my Defy and if I will find something I'll post here my findings in order to help you fix the issue you're having.
FIXED!!! I used adb shell to format the CACHE: partition. It had errors! Now all is working!
The same problem

Can you explain how have you solved this error? I have the same problem!!! What is the shell command? Thanks!!!
Or you can wipe the cache in recovery, either stock or custom

I've got the same problem and that hasn't worked for me. I'd also like to know how to wipe the cache using adb shell.
I've found the solutions:
in console:
> adb shell
$ su
(press ok when ask for permission on a device)
# format CACHE:
# exit
$ exit
but for me doesn't work
when I try "format CACHE:" I receive:
Code:

I did the same as you with the same result, but followed it up by booting into recovery and then wiping the cache from there. That appears to have sorted the problem out. I can use the market again and when I'm in recovery the mount error problem has disappeared.

Which version of cwm have you install?
I use the v3.0.2.8 (the last one I think), installed by 2ndInit Recovery Installer v1.7

Older than that I think. I'll have to check later. I did it in Stock Recovery anyway.

Ok...I'll try with Stock Recovery soon. For now i've had used only the Custom Recovery
EDIT: I can't use the Stock Recovery. If I tap on the right corner of the screen nothing happen
EDIT2: just press both volume-up AND volume-down at the same time (once you are in the Stock Recovery)...wipe all...and then WORK AGAIN!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Tks mates. It solve my prob like this too.
My short problem historic:
I bought a German Defy (2.1); I upgrade it with a bad Brazilian 2.2; I fixed with a good Brazilian retail 2.2 version (that Ifound in this forum) and I just fixed my last issue formatting the CACHE, exactly the same way (including the format error and the after cache wipe)
Cheers.
I have been using MMuzzy's ROMs on my Verizon Galaxy Nexux with no problems since June. I usually install with Rom Manager. The latest 10/5/12 version is failing with a symlink error.
I can recover by going back to the 9/24 version.
any advice on how to get the latest (10/5)
Here is my log file:

I've been using mmuzzy's roms for a while, I'm on the Oct 9 ROM now. I was never able to get the Oct 5 ROM to work. After sever attempts, I gave up and went back a rom .the Oct 9 ROM (4.1.2) works great

If I get the following error in CWM, does that normally mean my internal memory is failing/about to fail???

I can "doggedly" recover from this error my just keep formatting the /system partition and eventually it completes successfully.
I don't seem to get any operational errors when using my phone and my OS appears to be stable.
This only occurs when attempting to restore a previous backup and the restore fails on the /system partition when attempting to format it.
Manually formatting the /system partition also fails..but can successfully complete after a few attempts. (fingers crossed)
I have seen this 'type' of error reported in the XPERIA U/P/Sola forum too.
Is it possible (I have root access) to run fdisk on the /system partition and if so.. what do I need to do to do that.
And what are the risks?
Thanks for any advice.
[UPDATE]
Additional information that may alleviate my panic ... a bit. Found this in "Advanced Stock ICS Kernel for Xperia S" ROM
Build 14 :
New MMC driver (from codeaurora) : it fixes issue while formatting partitions in CWM
Wifi module built from source (in the ramdisk)
Updated recovery
Disable again hardware clock
Howdy all,
I recently tried to switch to CM 10.2 M1. It's not working out for me for two reasons:
Poor mobile data performance - requires frequent reboots to maintain data connection
openPDroid is not playing nice with it
So, I'm trying to restore my 10.1.3 backup. I have done a factory wipe from CWM and formatted /system (though I may have tried just restoring previous to that, I don't recall). When I try to restore the backup, the boot.img is restored successfully, it starts /system, and after some seconds it gives the following message and stops the restore process:
Code:
Error restoring /system!
The relevant excerpt of /cache/recovery/log is below. Fortunately I finally got ADB sort-of working again (won't connect from fastboot but does from CWM).
I suspect one of two things:
Somehow the size of the /system partition has changed, but I don't know why, how to verify it (what should it be?), and how to safely change it.
The backup is corrupt. I don't know how to check this. The log indicates md5s are okay for system.ext4.dup, but I don't see any indication in the logs that md5s of all of the blobs are okay or even checked.
Has anyone seen something similar or have any advice?
Thanks!!

Any help would be great
Thanks
