If you switch to a touchwiz rom you can go to settings>storage, then unmount your sd and format from the phone

Twiz and miui both unmount internal sdcard and format it but not external,sht is rediculous.I cant even mount external sd in cwm to reformat it.
Find a friend with an android...older one preferably ...use theirs to format....that's what I did

you can do it with touchwiz. Settings>storage. First listing will be external (sd card) which will have the option to unmount and format. Second listed will be usb storage which is your internal memory and will also have it's own option to format. Just press unmount SD card under external then it will highlight the option to format

Is there a ROM available on our devices that will mount ext_sd as primary mount. I noticed that all the roms files are saved to internal sdcard which I dont want because I cant partition internal but can on my external.

I'm thinkin stock roms use internal sdcard as main storage and cm based roms use external sd cards as primary storage,dunno think thats just the way its setup to be.

just swap it by editing vold.stab. there are so many tutor here. and I think you can find it through uncle Google
If you are using CM9, theres a option to swap internal to external.
Yes. Alpha 6. Setting, storage, menu, storage configuration, then select your choice.

Can I pre-format the external SD card for EXT2/3/4 filesystem and use it in stock Note 2?
To format I can use a card reader and Linux desktop computer say...
Also what would happen with accessing such a card from PC (Windows, Linux?)
I think you can format sd card with phone itself if that's what you are asking.

Seems like the phone formats it with exFAT or FAT32 only depending on the ROM.
And the formatting is not a problem, I can always format from Linux.
The Q is how would the phone react? And what about accessing the SD from PC?
Well testing it yourself wouldn't hurt.

Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.
I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd

To format the microSD card on your mobile device, from the Home screen, touch Menu key > Settings > General Settings > Storage Storage Icon .
Your microSD card information is shown on this screen, along with your device memory. Touch Format SD card. Review the message about data, and touch Format SD card again. Touch Delete all to complete the formatting process.
Warning! Formatting your microSD card will remove all personal information from the card. This information cannot be recovered.
I hope it will helps you. Good Luck
Is it okay if I will use a pc when formatting a sd card?
Usually SDcard come preformatted. If is a large SDcard and you are storing extremely large files like videos you may want to use the exFat rather than Fat32.
You can get free software like SD formatter to format your SDcard card on your PC.
