the best would be ext4, as it is the most recent and allows faster data transfers but the downside of it is that some roms may not support it meanwhile ext2 is more of the universal type; widely used format.
ps: you can play safe by choosing ext3 instead

i just read other forums thats ext 4 is much better...but i dont remeber the forum link....

EXT2 is old
EXT4 may not work on some ROMs but blazing speed
EXT3 safe and fast.
PS. Don't risk repartitioning your SD with EXT4 just because it is the fastest. Choose to EXT3.

hehe . ..

ext3 will be sufficient for now.
ext4 requires kernel support... still then if you want that try merruk's kernel, it supports ext4

Tried merruk's kernel before, didn't work for me. Any idea how to make it work? I already have 1 custom bin count, don't wanna add another 1 for nothing.

backup ur data
Use cwm » advanced» partition sdcard....
Make one ext3 partition less than 512mb & the rest fat32
Ext3 will be used as the extended internal memory for linking apps
fat32 will be mounted as your sdcard
Now reboot
Open link2sd, it will ask you for mount script » select ext3
Select settings » auto link...
now all set
Written this in brief..

For kernel flash use mai77 method
No bin count as it'll flash using cwm

What do you mean by "doesnt work"? Are you not getting the option to mount the 2nd partition in Link2SD?

It is an indication that you flashed a firmware which is non-stock .. in some samsung service centres warranty will not be considered if you have bin count..In only few countries though as no one cares to check them and they either dont have the knowledge to check them..all they know is "KIES" xD
I have a bin counter of 62 ..nothing happens..Just flash them freely

Hmm...which ROM are you using?
You must use a custom ROM having a2sd darktremor enabled to enable a2sd..
Im not sure about L2SD..But I can guide you...Did you get a "Mount 2nd Partition" message when you first run L2SD? Otherwise Click Left touch button-> Click More -> Click the "Recreate mount Scripts" On Link2SD and restart your device..
Go to any installed user application and on bottom it shows " Create Link" ..Press that and if it continues to show linking options then you have L2SD perfectly working..

For this to work you need to have a secondary partition of ext3/ext2 ..ext3 is preferred..Use CWM to repartition the SD card..
Creed and repencis supports both a2SD and L2SD ..chobits supports L2SD..
You can try this guide by CarlDeanCatabay which describes the L2SD process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614700
I prefer L2SD over A2SD as L2SD has more advanced options..

Got it working with chobitsdigitalis v1.6 ROM + stock kernel. SD Card partitioned Ext3, dunno why it doesn't work with merruk's kernel.

1. unlink all apps
2. uninstall link2sd

3. reformat your sdcard
4. search for a link2sd guide here & do as directed

i cant understand what u r sayin ....
i think you mean to say that your Sd card files are not showing ?
But when you view with link 2 Sd then its showing there right ?
I think u need to backup your Sd card in PC then u need to format your Sd card in fat 32 using you're phone not in PC .... Then restore your files via USB cable from PC ....
and also do a wipe data /factory reset in stock recovery

link2sd cannot mount its scripts on stock roms!! That's why you cannot view the 2nd partition!!

@leodasal2
No buddy.... I'm using link2sd on stock rom... And it's working awesome.

I think he doesn't have problem with ext partition but the fat32 partition

This happened to me once your sdcard must be failing, you better backup your data before it says format unable to read device

Ya I'm on stock kernel as in signature, and I can create link also.
No problem at all.

Im also on stock Rom& stock kernal and link2sd is working perfect for me....
but i had these problems before....
I experimented many times by relinking and recreating mount scripts...but the problem came once in a while.
But after that i've backed up the .apk s and cleaned up the second partition and cleared data(settings-applications-manage-link2sd-clear data button) and now again used link2sd, created links and now the mounting problems are over! hoo....

Try formatting your sdcard,
Backup first in your pc, or delete your ext partition using minitool partition or easeus partition, make it (your sdcard) empty , copy paste cwm to your sd, and flash it via recovery , goto Advanced n then choose Partition SD Card . Hope this help..
Also, if its not working again, try deleting "content holder" or something like that, on /system/sd . Use root explorer (recommended) .

The 5th step at which you partition itself formats the sd card and divides it into 2 partitions . So your sd card contents are gone by then. Theres no way to recover them.

what the?
is that true ? ((((((( im so deppresed ryt now

i still have the link2sd app
i can see that the second partition have some files how can i get them?

you missed 1 important step, thats BACK UP.

It wont work bro. You can recover stuff if you delete them not when you format. All the traces will be gone.

Dont give up dude. You could use easeus data recovery suit.google it for the paid one.trust me u could recovet every thing u have lost if you didnt copied much to ur memory card after formating.
I was able to recover mine entire hard disk which lost data while installing linux due to some auto partioning ****!!!!
I got every thing back after using easeus.

[Q] DATA2SD Issues

Format your sdcard after backing up. Or use some partition manager. This should be in Q&A for future reference.

Can any1 tell me when I link an app to my ext3 partion,the similar contents that are in my internal memory gets stored in my ext3 partion....so if I try delete the original delvix file from internal memory why does the app force close even though I have same delvix file in my ext3 partion....

What space? Dont use ext3, it will slow Ur phone. Use ext4. U need minitool partition home edition.
Data2sd has this problem U cant recover the partition to use with other roms. One back up can be used with that rom only. But U can recover via titanium backup. The main advantage with data2sd is U can install a game which is suppose 200mb. which U can never install by link2sd. as it will show low memory error.
If U want to use link2sd use odex version, it has 120mb user space.

512mb ext partition is fine, thats not the reason why the rom wont flash.
@OP i would copy what ever u need from ur sdcard to ur computer then repartition ur sdcard, theres a guide by abaaaabbbb63 in my sig. once thats done, in recovery, goto wipe/format - format all partitions except sdcard then reboot recovery then try flashing the rom again.
What rom is it u want to flash??
