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 collapse
Does that mean my partition is missing? I had to partition it again? Does updating ROM caused the partition to disappear?

When i try to backup my EXT partition it gives me a reply (cannot mount no such device)
This happen both with fake flash and push from pc.
Pastebin me your /tmp/recovery.log after it fails.

I get that too. I have no trackpad at all so I use Rom manager and get that error. Also I've emailed you koush just wondering if its possible to add alternate confirm button for recovery. Power or many or something. I need to buy replacement trackpad otherwise lol.
I get the same issue. I tried ext2 3 and 4.
Can't wipe ext so it makes the recovery not very useful as I use a2sd.

What version of the recovery are you using? What type of file system is your apps2sd?
updated to latest clockworkmod recovery and it seems to mount sd ext

I had this problem when using an EXT4 partition, fine with EXT3. I would try formatting your EXT to 3 and try again.

I am using the latest and no previous desire compatible recovery has worked for me. I will try formatting via Linux and try again
Currently got ext4 but had ext3 previously to no avail either

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?

guys is there any way to do it??
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??

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.
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?
