The second partition doesn't have to be ext2/3/4. Fat works fine with Link2SD.

Maybe your SD-card is corrupted ? Try formatting the whole card, and try again.
Or maybe try another SD-card..

Same problem. Link2sd used to work with my ext2 but it did not auto mount my partiton after I flashed another ROM. I tried repartition my sd card several times but in vain.
My solution: Install A2SD Dark Tremor and forget Link2SD

problem...
i am using BNC V1.0 R2 wid latest kernal update.....
i want to use darktremor a2sd so i follow the intructions n install it from my recovery n its show 3 times boot....
and i have made 2nd partiton of 1gb from 8gb card of ext4 format set as parimary...but when i command in the terminal emulater there is a error....invalid command...nothing work i have attach the screenshot plz see it and provide me solution plz plz....help...........

Use these commands:
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesdreset

Link2sd worked fine with me with ext2 filesystem, with a few remarks:
- make sure the partitions on the sdcard are all PRIMARY, not Secondary partitions + Logical partitions: FAT32 for the first partition, the regular data one, ext2 for the second partition, for use in Link2sd, a2sd, s2e, etc.
- use the latest version of Link2sd. up until a certain version of Link2sd, the boot script wouldn't work fully and you had to restart the android interface after each boot. it now works fine if properly setup.
- use the latest version of Superuser app and update su.
- busybox might help.

Ext4 questions :(

HI to all buddies!!!!
i have some questions about ext 4 partition...
i have the 4ext recovery and it says this about my phone:
"""sistem: ext4
data: ext 4
cache ext 4
sd-ext: ext3""""
1-need i to convert sd ext to ext 4 for better usage of my device if i have installed honeysense (maded on ext4)????
2- whats the exactly function of the "sd-ext"
3-whats the exactly function of ext3 and ext4???
maybe are silly questions but i need to solve my doubt please!
........bump
Hi Sergi I see there is a tool to convert to ext4. I haven't noticed any difference between ext3 and ext4 ROMs. Now I am trying Virtuous Unity Pyramid. It's the real Sensation Rom, seems very good.

Hi!
1. you don't NEED to. You can and maybe it will give you slightly better performance if you are using a rom right now that makes use of sd-ext partitions.
2.
"sd-ext" partitions are just additional partitions on your sdcard (besides your fat32 partition). You only need to create them if you install a rom that makes use of them, otherwise they are useless.
3.
ext3 and ext4 are just different file systems you can format your partitions with.
Ext4 is theoretically faster than ext3. The speed difference can be marginal to very big. This depends on the usage.

[Q] Ext4 Problem

Hey Guys,
I have Team 8 GB Class 10 MicroSD. I did partition and give ext4 to 2 gb.
I installed CyanogenMod and installed Link2SD. I select ext4 partition in first screen of link2sd. But i can't see ext4. My phone gives me no empty space error.
What should i have to do?

What do you mean exactly by "can't see"?
If you can't see it in the file explorer though if that what you mean.
Link2sd mounts the 2nd SD partition on /data/sdext2 I think and won't be needed to be accessed by a user because link2sd will manage the apps and caching automatically.
I hope this helped you

You can't see it but it's mounted. Link2SD deals with everything bro.
Download disk usage and you will be able to see the second partition

This guy did this and he have 834 mb free space. But i have 40 mb free space.
But i already did partitioning.
Your friend is using data2SD and you are using Link2SD. Data2SD merges together your internal storage and your ext4 partition and makes your phone see those like one and that's all, no control after that. When you using Link2SD it won't show total empty space there where you want it but partition is there, link2sd will take care of everything (if you did setup ok) and you have total control over your apps so link2sd makes better choice for most of ppl here...
No worries, if you did all like it should be those 40mb of free space shouldn't change in long time even after install tons of apps

He's using Data2SD and you haven't installed that.
You must to use Data2SD, it's better because the app get installed on the partition in the sdcard, recomend flash the jikantaru patch, search fot it

Link2sd gives good Performance...
I installed Data2Sdsd script some days ago....
with 16 GB card of class 10...
But it didnt give me a good performance.....
But now using Link2sd.....
First i create 2nd partition of ext4,,, It didnt work for me... lol....
Now i am using ex2 with no problems.... Thanx to creater of this script...
It is working very smoothly....
Thanks for the answers guys.
Here is the problem:
"There isn't any space"
"Nearly all apps at SD and this is the situation"
examine gaowmer
Hmmm seems like your Link2sd options are wrong... Open link2sd, go to settings and be shure that auto link and relink lib files at boot are checked. Under Auto link settings all three options should be checked. Under Install location, automatic or external should do the job.
Now you should go back to app list, hit Multi-select option and choose all app's that you wanna (or better, you can) move to external space... When you selected apps hit Actions button and choose Create link... That should do the job

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin
The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.
No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable
They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.
And what i have to do?
What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.
I use Ext4
I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?
I believe moving anything will cause problems.

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.
I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?
Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.
I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.
See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.
