Can someone explain a bit about what is responsible for writing all the files into "dev" partition, I read somewhere that its supposed to be some kind of ram files ?
Another question is it possible to edit it ?

hello everybody
I didn't find the answer to my question (I used the search tool) so forgive me if it has allready been answered:
is it possible, in order to improve performance, to format /data which is actually using the samsung rfs into ext4 so that the hack of formating the external sd card and moving /data on it will be unnecessary?
thank you by advance.
As of now we have no way at all to modify what file system is on the internal storage devices. Besides I do not believe that the we evildoer in this case is a poor fs.

Is there no way to umount /data and then format it into ext4?
Rfs seems to have pretty poor performances compared to ext4 but I'm not an expert so maybe is it useless.
Did you not read what you quoted from me there?
We do NOT have a way to modify the filesystem on the internal storage. We can unmount it but we CANNOT format it!

A little less attitude please!
He asked a perfectly valid question, all that is required are the file system tools format, partition and check the partition and an understanding of the init.rc files that mount the partition on boot.
I send an SOS to the world
I hope someone get my message in the bottle …..
This thread is for Dev or tech people. Chainfire, Stratosk ...
I have posted at many place an in or out this forum and no answer, no interest. So I hope someone…
The problem
I have a external sd card. These is with two partitions, first one in fat32, second one in ext4
It is in ext4 because i want to put on it large files bigger than 4 Go
The external first sdcard partition fat32 is seen by android application and mounted under /scard/external_sd i presume it is standard mounting point, because that's true with any rom or kernels.
The second partition in ext4 in only see by program link2sd, but it can't be use by any program or external applications like usb devices. It is mounted under /data as sdext2
so because of the rights for data, sdext2 can't be acceded
The environnement*:
Samsung GalaxyS I9000
I am with standard Samsung Galaxy ROM JVR and CF_root kernel
Then the questions are*:
Why and who define this mounting point*?
Where this is define
why we can use for exemple one other mounting point , /sdcard/external_sd2 for exemple*?
Why this can't be define as standard for all android kernel and apps*?
Why a program like ext4 from chainfire does'nt see this partition*?
Who can give me the solution and answer to my question*?
Excellent question.
yo fundamental but.no answer. chainfire contacted by pm does'nt reply . can' y understand

Hi I'm trying to format my System partition but not succeeding because it has EMMC partition not MTD and also i cant find the mount points of my devices so if any one here could help me to delete ALL THE FILES AND FOLDERS IN THE SYSTEM folder(i dont want the system folder to be deleted just all the contents of it)?
I see in other device mod to use ext-sd and swap partition to increase performance in the device.
Still I am not clear what exactly do, can someone explain easy?
And is possible to do in our glide?
Thanks for your time
Hello,
I've recently run into issues with a corrupted /data partition, and I'm in need of some info from a working device...
Can someone please run "mount" from within Android and from recovery (via ADB) and paste the results here? I'm attempting to recreate my /data partition, but so far I'e only managed a basic EXT2 partition that seems to be causing all sorts of errors. I know it's supposed to be EXT4, so any help would be appreciated.
Gah, nevermind, managed to use tune2fs to convert it to EXT4 and all is good again.
