Anytime I wipe Dalvik Cache I get the following message.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
I haven't altered any of the settings in my phone (that I know of) and I seem able to read from my sd card just fine so I don't think it's negatively affecting anything but I'd like to know why I get this and what it means.
Thanks in advance.
iYeah thanks for asking that question, I've been meaning to ask that too except I get that when I nandroid, anything else is fine. It tells me that or it tells unable to read find extsd etc. My memory is fat32 and my cwm and rom support both fat and extfat.

Hey guys, yea I get the same problem, I've been trying to reflash my ROM but I get a error, status 6. So I figured I'd try factory reset but now I get this error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975407
Any ideas?
Just ignore it and flash away. Why not install TWRP?

That means you don't have any app in the external SD.
About the error 6. Download the ROM again.

In Recovery (2.5.0.5) I get the error E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (File exists) Everything seems to work except nothing happens when I wipe battery stats. I have tried messing around with parted but it says it doesn't exist and doesn't let me create a new one. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?
I'm thinking it might have happened when i updated my recovery to 2.5.1.1 But I'm not sure. Thanks.

Check out my sig.
Thanks. I'm backing up my SD card now to try that. Does the new partition need to be that big? I don't move apps to my SD card and right now only have a 2 gig card.

Probably not. I have an 8 gig and like to plan for the future. Feel free to trim it, then let me know if it works and what size you used.
Thanks. That was quick and painless. I was able to make the SD ext partition 128mb. That's the smallest size it allowed.
I'm like you. Seeing any error really bugs me.

Read his entire post. Including his signature.
Just a further question on that... I have read PonsAsinorem's sig and I understand what is going on, but what I don't understand is how app2SD froyo style is working: it lets me "move" my apps to the SD card from within Froyo, although there is no such /sd-ext partition in my SD card. Does it mean that in fact it is not really moving the apps to the SD card? I am a little bit puzzled here...

I haven't toyed around with apps2sd extensively. I don't have that many and they read quicker off internal, if only slightly, so that is where I keep them. Also makes it easier to flash ROMs (I'm a firm believer in wiping all data and remnants of the previous ROM). I also didn't come onto the Android scene till rift before Froyo so I was a rookie. Which is what this MIGHT be, a fragment of 2.1, or even earlier, left behind for compatibility purposes. I don't have enough background to answer this with certainty.

The apps2sd implementation for our phone doesn't actually move it to our sd card, it moves it to emmc (internal storage) instead and doesn't require an ext partition.
Hi, I have Galaxy s and i had the same error message so I did as explained... but now my phone get stuck on defalt recovery screen and when I try to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory) Installation aborted"...
what I understand is that the instructions for formatting the SD card wiped all the data including update.zip file.
Now my phone is no more usable, it get stuck on main default recovery(not clockwork) :-(
Please hepl me.. I know Its a another phone section but please help me if you can
Thank you in advance
Error Solve
I use "Paragon Partition Manager" to solve this problem with my sd-ext
make sd-ext to 3 partitions
First partition
for keep your data set file system to FAT32
Second partition
create new partition size beteen 32 - 40MB and file system is Linux Swap
Third parition
create new partition size around 517MB and file system is Linux Ext2
Done!!
ps. sorry for my poor english language

I tried solving my problem just as described in the link above. I thought that it had been because I had partitioned my SD with too big a partition, 2 Gig. I resized my partition, exactly like described using AmonRa, without any problems except that the error still remained. I tried it again but this time with Clockwork. Again no success. I finally gave up and re-partitioned it with AmonRa and my original 2 Gig EXT partition. Finally success! I dont know if attempting with different recoveries did something but it worked and it worked with a 2 Gig EXT partition. Hope this helps someone else.
This is what I have been getting in errors when I try to delete my dalvik-cache. Has anyone seen this.
can't mount dev block mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such device)
error mounting /sdext/!
skipping format.........
Anyone??.... I tried an alternate SD card but it still gave the same error. I am thinking I need to start from scratch and reroot my phone.

Marcus, I'm not sure if it is an SD card issue. It's possible, however, if you've tried a separate card like you've stated and still got the same error message, my first thought is to reflash your recovery. Afterwards, backup your SD card to your computer and then reformat it. Then do a clean wipe and then reflash your rom.
That is exactly what I am thinking. Start from scratch and get my phone working like its supposed to. Thanks for the inforrmation.

I would follow Doug's suggestion. Also, did this just start happening out of the blue? Or was it after making changes / alterations to your sd card (partitioned it maybe?). If there are no problems with a different sd card (if you have one to try), perhaps there is a problem with your card. You could try using windows to check the disk for errors, or perhaps try reformatting it or re partitioning it.
I did try one other card and I gave me the same error. This did also happen after I did a partition to my card. I am going to start from scratch and have everything prepared for viruses monster rom that is coming out today. I will update when I'm done. Thanks guys.

Hello All,
This is my first thread! I recently rooted my tmo sgs2 in order to get the full potential out of my phone. I loved it and was going flash crazy. Everything seemed to be going well until i accidentally formatted my external sd card in CMW. I was on Jug 5.0 Ultimate ICS edition and now im on the blackedition. Now all my backups are gone and some things on the phone dont seem to be working properly. Any suggestions? I tried looking through other threads but none seemed to help. Any feedback would help.
Thank you
-From a noob that just wants the best out of his phone
how important is recovering the data? typically a 'deletion'/'format' just dereferences the blocks from the memory allocation table so the data is still there. and thus you can use recovery software to get most of it back. but i'm basing this off experience with hdds and ntfs not flash memory (and probably fat32).
and formatting it shouldn't affect how your phone runs unless you moved app installations to it...
Either don't copy anything to the SD, and use a program like undelete I think is the name, wouldnt flash anythig from this method anyways, or dl a new ROM to the SD card and reflash, wiping he SD is wiping the SD, that's ur own bad and no way to actually "restore"
OK well i didnt move any of my apps to my sd so im guessing the rom is just kind of buggy then. But now when im in the process of wiping dalvik code it says
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] ?!?!?

It says that when i wipe dalvik as well but ive never wiped my sd so i don't think that's why

Did a little googling,
/sd-ext is the mount point for Linux EXT-type partitions used with Apps2SD. It was a clever gludge from before Android supported moving apps natively; supported ROMs moved all installed apps to this new partition and symlinked them back to /data/app, so tricking the OS. Subsequent installations went to this partition also.The error is perfectly normal on devices with no EXT partition and is simply a result of the CWM code supporting a huge range of devices.

Hey guys,
I'm having trouble with with my dalvik cache. When trying to wipe it in clockwork 5.0.2.7, i get an error "unknown volume path [sd-ext]" Also, fix permissions won't work in recovery, some error about not finding the right paths.
I have tried formatting internal sd card, external sd card, and wiping everything. Everything works fine on my phone, just this error.... Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

The volume path error is normal if you dont have and ext partition on your sd card. Just serch a little you will find your answer. And there is a fix permissions fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604581&highlight=fix+permissions Search...search...search my friend.

I have watched a lot of tutorials but nothing is working please someone help
I made a video of the problem and what I tried. Can anyone understand what happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaN-y-Worlg
Update: In Data i Changed the file system and went back to original. Didn't work.
I even wiped system. But i guess the only problem is to fix the "data". Since it shows 0 Mb size. But i can't find any way or guide. The ones i did find are too advanced and use cmd commands and toolkits which i don't think an inexperienced user like me should be following.
Some background information: i attempted to install Open gApps and enable Camera2 API. I Entered "read only" mode.
The adb shell commands for enabling it wasn't working (some "proprietary" something shown )
So I tried another method. I downloaded the latest Magisk and flashed it. Then i tried gApps. I don't remember when i started to think what went wrong but yeah..
I found this and I think it may be related.
But I don't understand it properly.
And its and Old post for some other Recovery

Why did you wipe internal storage? And what are you trying to mount. If you are trying to install a new rom all you need to wipe is cache, dalvik, system and data. Wiping internal storage removes everything from the internal SD card and if you do this then you have no OS.

At this point i can't care less about the data in internal storage. I just need to flash the official MIUI ROM back, enable Camera2 API and live in peace. At this moment I'm halfway through downloading the ROM but I'm not sure if i can flash it due to the Mount Issue of internal storage. I plan on transferring it to my micro SD card and flashing it from there to System Image. Will it work? And Internal Storage formatting failed in case you didn't notice. Practically nothing worked except the file system change of "data". And even that didn't fix the unable to Mount issue.
