[Q] A2SD+ mounting sdcard in windows

right so i have now formated my sdcard with an ext4 partition and a fat32 and it works quite well but i cant seem to mount the sdcard in windows so i can transfer files over to the fat32 partition, it works tho in linux on my laptop so what am i doing wrong :| ?

Did u format it by yourself ? I used ROM manager to create ext3 partitions and no problem with windows, it just doesn't see ext partitions which is normal.

Is your FAT32 partition the first partition on your SD card, or did you create the EXT partition first?
Regards,
Dave

fat is first but it seems after a phone reboot it works in windows again :S

[Q] Info about sd-ext

Hi,
Using ROM Manager I created an ext partition on my sd-card (16GB class 10).
How do I find out what version of ext that is created? Is it ext2, ext3 or ext4??
With ROM Manager I could only make it 512MB, but I would love to make it 2GB or so - can anyone provide me with a guide for this?
Thanks

i think rom manager creates an ext2 partition, as for making it bigger, if you have a pc with a cd burner, download the ubuntu live cd here. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download burn it to a disk and boot it, you can then use the native disk utility to create an ext 2/3/4 partition any size you like. or you could try the amon-ra recovery, this has an option to create an ext

Sweet thank you very much... This was a very easy with Ubunto-on-a-stick I now have a 3GB ext3 partition.
FYI... ROM Manager had created a ext3 partition

[Q] Problems with A2SD (non Froyo Version)

Hi there,
I have a little problem with a2sd.
I partitioned my 16 GB sd-card to 15GB Fat32 and 1 GB ext3.
My actual rom is AuraxTSense-8.1.1. Everything is fine ... the Desire says
640 MB ram left for applications ... that's ok.
Same when I flash MIUI. All is ok ... ok MIUI is not my favorite rom, so I want to flash the new AuraxTSense_8.4_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_A2SD+.zip, but there is
the problem. This rom did not notice my ext3 partition for apps, although it is an A2SD+. Same with LeeDrOiD_V2.4_A2SD.zip. On all flashing session I did a full wipe.
Now I'm back to the AuraxTSense-8.1.1 with working A2SD.
I searched the inet and forum, but I didn't find any good clue. Only hints how
to partition the sd-card. And my partition seems to be ok.
Hmm ... anyone any hint for me? AuraxTSense-8.1.1 is a bit unstable, it reboot without any reason once a day, MIUI is not mine ... I love sense ...
Thanks for your help ....

Possibly wrongly partitioned?
Try to re-partition it.
Download Gnome Partition Editor (GParted Live) here on CD or USB.
Read the documentation at on GParted website ~ how to partition your drive? (Most answers of your questions are there).
Backup your SD card data to PC before start partitioning.
Boot into GParted Live on CD or USB (Make sure that your motherboard first boot is either CD or USB).
Follow onscreen instructions to get GParted Live loaded.
Note – select your SD card as the drive. DON’T select your hard drive.
Delete every partition on SD card.
First create a primary FAT32 partition.
Then create another primary ext(2,3 or 4) partition ~ 1GB or more.
Exit GParted Live and back to Windows.
Copy back your data to SD card.

please try this:
Take a Usb-stick.
! YOUR DATA FROM YOUR STICK WILL BE LOST, BACKUP BEFOR GPARTED INSTALL!
! BACKUP YOUR DATA FROM YOUR DESIRE SD-CARD, ALL DATA WIL BE LOST USING THIS METHOD!
Download gparted, install it using unetbootin.
start gparted form your usb-stick.
Mount your sd-card in clockwork-recovery.
Remove all partitions in GParted from your desire sd-card.
create a new partition form about 1Gb ext-4.
then create a new partition (fat-32) that fils the rest of your sd-card.
Note: the ext-4 partition needs to be in front of the fat-32 partition.
restore your desire sd-card data.
I hope this helps

@davebugyi: This was the exact way I partitioned my sd-card ... strange ...
@Keon91: The ext4 partition before the fat32? I thought ext after fat ... ok let's give a try ... must it be ext4 or is ext3 ok? I heard ext4 reduces sd-card life?
Thanks ....

as I can remember I had my ext4 partition in front of my fat32 partition.
when I view my partions in gparted ext4 is in front of fat32.
fat32 has label : sba1.
ext4 has label : sba2.
I never heard ext4 would reduce sd-card life. In the insertcoin thread they recommend a ext4 partition.

Finnaly I solved it ...
First I tried ext4 in from of fat32. Problem: Windows didn't notice the fat32 partition.
@Keon91: The lables of your partitions show that in your configuration the fat32 is also in front of the ext partition.
After this, I partitioned again with gparted to 15gb fat32 and 1gb ext3 ... both primary ... and now ... i don't know why ... the ext3 is found by a2sd ...
Thanks to all ...

Partitioning SD Card

Hi, I have already partitioned my 8gb SD card. I made 1 FAT32 Partition with 1.3gb of unused space, while i used the left memory to make a EXT4 partition with around 6.5gb.... My question is, why the second partition is invisible in windows, and where should i put my music and stuff...... Also, Link2SD says that it can't mount the script because of an invalid argument... Please help me fix this..... I'm using HenseMod6 by the way

Around 1-2 GB of Ext partition is enough. Ext* partitions are linux filesystems and cannot be read by windows. Your music and photos should go on the fat partition.
Your rom may not support ext4, try reformatting it to ext3

Thanks, mate. My ClockworkMod Recovery helped mi fix it..

[Q] Help with partitioning 32Gb sd card

OK, so I've rooted my Galaxy S4 Mini GT-i9195.
Now, I'm trying to partition my 32Gb SD card, which I've done using Mini Partition Tool, creating the 1st partition of around 27Gb as Primary and Fat32. The 2nd partition I've tried as around 4Gb, Primary again, and I've tried Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, NTFS and also Fat32.
No matter what I try, Link2SD (Plus) won't recognise the 2nd partition, saying "Mount script cannot be created, Mount: Invalid argument".
I've also tried repartitioning using Aparted, with no luck.
Please help, It's getting really frustrating!
Thanks in advance guys.
