Does anyone else have this problem? This happens when I make a nandroid backup. I just want to make sure that this is not something that will hurt my phone or keep me from being able to restore a rom. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanksyall

I believe a nandroid only backs up your internal sd card. Its nothing to worry about. It wont hurt anything and wont cause any problems restoring a backup.
That means you don't have sd-ext is present on your sd card. EXT is simply a partition of a sd card so that you can dedicate the space to apps. Example, if you have a 2GB SD card and you partition your card to so that the 1GB will be available to apps. Other 1gb you can access it on explorer to store files, etc
Thanks for the info. How do I go about fixing it?

You don't need one....you aren't fixing anything.
EXT used to be used back in the days of the G1 because it had limited space. Now a days, phones have a ton of space and it is not really an issue.
OK. Still confused ...what do I need to do to have my sd-ext recognized.?

You don't need to do anything. Its OK because the phone already has enough memory. This is for phones that don't have a large amount of memory. For example, the HTC G1 had like ~85 MB of memory for apps. So one had to create a separate partition on the memory card, EXT 3 or EXT 4 with at least ~500 MB to store more apps. With this phone, we get about ~1.90 GB. So there is no need for that. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's attempting to back up something that no longer needs to be backed up because the information that was previously stored there is now being stored on your internal sd which IS being backed up. You don't need to do anything or worry about it, everything on your phone is being backed up except your external sd card (which no flash should touch and thus shouldn't need to be backed up). We all get the same message, it's nothing to worry about.
Wow lmfao this is comical xD answer the dude 3x n he still disnt get it xD
U want it fixed? Boot to cwm, Reformat sdcard, wen it asks for ext size put 512, swap size 0, issue "fixed" basicly useless tho on this phone, n the ext will probably b slower then the system storage, but u obviously want it to stop showin onn the log so there ye go, done
OK. Thanks for everybodies help.

Thanks for that detailed information
galaxy ace, LG
could you tell me how to make a backup for apps on the sd card, my sister and girlfriend both have **** phones where they constantly run out of space or memory so they sometimes cant even receive sms messages, my girlfriend has a galaxy ace, she can't have to many apps because the memory is crap, my sister has a crappy LG phone which gives her really bad problems, how can i turn their terrible phones into half decent phones in order to release a bit of their sd cards for app management? any bit of help would be amazing, cheers guys
Hi. I've been getting the insufficient storage' crap when trying to backup updated apps and have tried dalvik wipe, un install and reinstall of both app and pro key ect but problem persists. If I try to view the wiki or change log page I get 'account suspended' message. Sucks in short.
Anyone else having or had this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks.

As far as the insufficient storage, that sounds like you have your phone's memory all but filled up. Check in settings. Doubt wiping dalvik will really clear up that much room. If it is space, delete some Movies, music, and or pictures.
Edit: I just checked before and after dalvik wipe and the free space on the phone is the same. Which makes sense, since the dalvik cache will rebuild upon first boot.
Still have 8.5gig space. Strange as was running 4.04 after flashing the zip over 4.02 n had no problem. Flashed factory image of 4.04 today n now its a problem? Either way the "account suspended" thing really doesn't make sense

Delete your old nandroid and titanium backups or move them to your computer. Then curse whoever was in charge of how much storage space the GSM model received.

With around 90 gig of music on Google music, instant upload and the last four or so years worth of pics on Google photo/picasa, a good quarter of my library on Google books and a film or two for "just in case" viewing on my phone memory along with 62 apps including games like gta3 and shadowgun I still have over 8gig free... yes more space is better than less but in this case it hardly matters anyway, its sorted now so thanks so much for all the constructive assistance, maybe I can repay the favor one day

So today I noticed all my photos in my gallery app were greyed out... thought it was strange. Selected one... big grey pic... then another.... and another....
These pics span the internal storage and sd card....
First I deleted the cache to the gallery app.... same result...
OK... went into es file explorer.... dcim... camera..... all JPEGs gone....
Went into the sdcard..... have multiple folders under pics main folder... all empty... except for any video files...
Then mounted on my PC... and they also don't show.
What could of happened to cause this.... I wouldn't normally care but I lost a lot of pics of my kids... that spanned 3+ years that weren't all backed up. Any help on the snowballs chance in hell of recovering this would be appreciated.... but at the very least any reasonable explanation as to why this may have happened would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could try pulling the sd card out, putting it in the computer directly, and then using a data restore or undelete app. As long as the sectors haven't been rewritten, they should be recoverable.
Also, this may help for the future. I use my phone to capture my kids as well. What I've been doing is using the auto upload features in both Google+ and DropBox, to back pics up in replicate. Sucks for bandwidth and battery usage, but it is what is is. lol
Hope you get them back!

I will try that when i get the chance.... just wish i knew WHY this happened. So frustrating!
So i was able to recover my files on the external sd card with a card reader.... now how would i do the same on the internal card, if we cant mount it with usb mass storage mode?

There is a pc program called recova I think it's from pirova. I wiped my phone once and was able to do the deep scan and recovered them. Hope it helps good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't think that one's doable with the way the device mounts. You may be able to mount it as a drive via recovery, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Just noticed your other post. You're asking the right thing. Hope you get an answer. If CWM doesn't have it, you could try TWRP.

Recova is what i used on the SD card and worked perfectly.
Also, i flashed TWRP... and the option isnt there either, so i will assume that its not possible on our phone yet... so for now im screwed...
am afraid to install any new programs or files, in fear of losing my more current pics, which were internally.
That happened to me too, but i am using the GS2 Tmobile, after flashing cm 9 nightlybuild. but my picture on my sd card, so i guess will use recova.
Thanks and hope you get your pictures recovered.

It sucks that you lost quite a few pictures that mean a lot to you. I do see sincerely hope that you now understand the importance of backing up these important files. This really goes for everyone. Keep important files backed up in at least one other place, and keep it up to date. Most people don't start doing backups until they've lost something that's irreplaceable.
Okay so it seems that jelly been doesn't allow us to Intel apps to the SD card anymore.. Okay fair enough, stood move by Google but I doubt there's anything we can do about that. My question: how can I get my phone to save other data to my external SD?
What I ultimately want is to be able to save downloads (ROMs), nandroid backups, and if possible, move extra files needed for games and cached music (I have 2gb of data from Google play music of cached music. Deleting this every few days when I go through a few hundred songs to clear space is frustrating). Does anyone know of a way that I can make any of these things happen?

Search XDA - there are thread(s) how to change Google Music storage to exSD card.
Thanks gentlemen. Using tapatalk at work so search doesn't work terribly well. Probably should have just used website search tool. Still not sure about game data, nandroid storage, etc., but I'll try to keep looking on my own. Thanks

Found something that works for music, buy I don't think it will work for other apps and I don't think binding the directories will persist through a data wipe or ROM installation. I was just curious if this was a possibility and it seems that it is not.. I guess SD cards are becoming useless.

As the title mentiones, my device is out of memory. Like none. Even if I install a new rom the phone storage is still low cant even update all my apps because there's no space on my device. I tried apps to see whats taking up the huge space but there all worthless really cant delete from the app. Dont want to delete important files either so question is how can I get ride of all this crap the phone doesn't need?

silly question, but once it was done calculating did you tap on one of the sections to see the individual files and there sizes? i was coming close to having this issue, until i went through each of those sections with a fine tooth comb. it was then i found piles of old downloaded files just stock piled....ended up clearing 3 gigs.
Let that screen sit for a minute to let the calculations finish. Then select a category (like miscellaneous). Then check which files you like to delete. The hidden thumbnail folder can get big, much like other app folders that cache info.

Have you possibly flashed any aosp or cyanogen roms. Could possibly have files built up in an O folder on your internal sd card

In my screenshot above, that 2+GB TWRP folder has only 1 backup of the data partition. Moving these backups to external SD can open a lot of internal storage space.
