hi, can anyone help me.
im using link2sd to move all applications that movable to sdcard.
it says to partition the sdcard, which the second partition is ext2/ext3/ext4 or FAT32.
i've tried ext2, but when i turn off the phone at night and then turn on the phone at morning, it says "mount warning"
cant find second partition, and give me choice to "recreate script" or "quick reboot".
it happen again again and again. and then im trying to use FAT32 for second partition because the developer of link2sd says that FAT32 supported on all devices.
but it happen again like when im using ext2.
can anyone help me, what should i do?

for stable and good functionality of second partition it should be mounted on any format except fat32
also if you are having problems with link2sd try cronmod script
here's the link to it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879806
if you have trouble flashing it contact me
till then good luck:laugh::laugh::good::good::good:
It happens because samsung's firmware doesnt mount the second partition in some cases( mostly in ics). All you need to do is hit ''quick reboot'' when you get the prompt. Link2sd would take care of the rest and mount the second partition after a soft reboot.
There's no need to format your card again. Ext2 should be just fine.
Same Problem here when my samsung s2 restart and ext2 partition hide and not mounting invalid argument error showing can any one solve this issue?

I Have A Better Way To Move Obb To Sd Card Whitout Any Second Partition By An App Named Folder Mount In Playstore And It Hackable With Lucky Patcher The Idea Is To Make A Empty Folder With The Same Name Of The Obb Folder In The Place That The App Will Look For Obb In It And It's In Internal Storage In Android/Obb And Better Put The The Original Obb Folder That Have The Original Obb File In The External Storage In Android/Obb To So When FolderMount Try To Locate The Original File It Will Locate It Easily Then The App Will Trick The System To Think That The Two Folders Are One But Actualy The One That You And The App Lead To It Is The Folder In The External Storage And This Trick Work For Anything Like If You Want To Make Google Offline Translate Files Stored In External Sd Card And The App Will Still See The Files Becouse It Will Think That The Files Is In Internal Sd Card But Actualy It's In External Sd Card And For Moving Unmovabel Apps Use Link2sd It Will Move Apps Only Without Second Parition.:good:

Hello Guys!
I did Root my desire GSM Hboot 0.93. it came unlocked and is designed to be operated in Europe.
Superuser installed and BusyBox too("Your phone is rooted).
I used Gparted to partition Fat32 ence the same as the tutorial of xda
I tried ext2, 3 and 4. I left as FAT32 as the most compatible with the ROM's.
Yet when I enter the link2sd it asks to select the system partition and i put fat32/fat16, it says "you cannot create the script. not enough memory install.sh inst-sd.sh.
Anyone had this problem?
Someone help me or know a link or how to resolve this situation?
Thanks

I Don't understand well.
When I start link2sd it opens a window and asks.
"Select the system partition." When I select any items of it displays "error to create the script." When i choose fat32 it show me the message not enough memory.
Do not exist the option-> sd-ext.
I'm noob
Thanks
I have a htc desire stock orange uk, S-OFF, rooted.
With link2sd all I did was use Ubuntu and gparted to partition my 8gb sd card the 2nd partition set at 1024mb and the rest all together both FAT32 as on the market app info it says ext2, ext3 etc etc can only be used with a custom rom.
hope this helps
This has been a life saver went from 17MB free to Nearly 60MB!!!!!
I have the same problem.
partitioned the SD card second partition with FAT32, made it primary but link2sd gives me the same arror as reported by Manzatto.
"mount script cannot be created. :cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory"
thank you.
G.
It's required for you to have first partition fat32 and second one ext (mine is ext3). When it asks point to ext one and that's it.
Hi, I've the same problem. Here is the explanation:
Kierrok said:
Link2SD needs install-recovery.sh or init.d support enabled to mount its partition at boot time. The problem is Samsung GB ROMs don't have it.
You can enable init.d support easily if you cook your ROM. If you can't do it for yourself ask your ROM devel to enable it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It ist impossible to change or create this files, because the rom is mounted readonly. So you need to ask the developer of your custom rom to support link2sd.
It's possible to mount your ext2/3/4 partition manually for link2sd , but every reboot would destroy it.
Greetings Max
I also have the same problem.
I partitioned the SD card second partition with FAT, made it primary but link2sd gives me the same arror:
"mount script cannot be created. :cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory"
Also tried with ext2, ext3 and ext4 and same error.
Currently using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200261
Hey, so I've rooted my phone, installed CWM. Now I'm kinda confused how to install Link2SD.
I've a 16 GB SD card with me. All I need to do is, boot into recovery and then partition the SD card?
Do I need to do anything else?
Also, What's that swap memory? (The option which comes after selecting the partition size) What should I choose in that part? I read somewhere that I should choose 32/64 MB only..
I'm using HTC Wildfire S A510e with the latest update having Gingerbread 2.3.5
Thanks
Well partition your SDcard and create two primary partitions. Format the second partion as ext4 and use tune2fs to disable journalling.
Install Link2SD configure it and select ext4 as the second partition. It will automatically mount it then.
I'm still trying to contact the developer to mount without barriers and atime to get better performance.
i used minitool partition wizard on my pc to do it, but i think you can through CWM as well. i originally tried making the 2nd partition FAT32, but my l2sd didnt recognize it, so i redone it in sdext2. on my wifes wildfire s i tried ext2 first, and ended up having to change it to FAT32. theoretically you should be able to use the partitioning on CWM and get l2sd to work, but if it doesnt detect your second partition then just try different formats if you can. minitool is a free program if you need it, and is available with a simple google search. there are also several other threads about l2sd all around xda and the net, so if you get stuck just search them up. once partitioned, go into l2sd and press the menu button and select more, then create mount scripts. this will get it running, and also will show if there are any issues with your partition.
Hey everyone. I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to use Link2SD. I partitioned my 32G SD card using Mini Partition Tool. I made a 1 gig partition. I've tried FAT32 and EXT2. After partitioning, i rebooted and tried Link2SD. I keep getting the error "Mount script cannot be created. [1] Segmentation fault mount ..."
Is there any solution for the xperia play? I manually moved my apps but still ran out of space keeping system tools like Titanium Backup on the internal. Maybe I should make them System Apps?
I use the following on mine setup:
64gb Card (Fat32 - Primary)
5GB for EXT4 partition (Make sure when you partition it to set it as primary.)
300mb Swap Partition
I had an issue with Link2SD too ad it was because I was not setting the EXT partition as primary, oncei formatted it again as primary Link2SD had not issue with it. Try that.

Hey thanks for the reply. Just tried what you said. My FAT32, ext4, and Swap are all Primary and sill no go. I get the same error (segmentation fault mount -t ext4...). When Link2SD opens I've tried selecting all the options for the parition type too and none of them work.
Anything else I can try? Does the order of the partitions make any difference? Right now I am Primary, ext4, Swap.

Ah.... okay, I should have clarified this, only the fat32 and EXT partition are set to Primary. Swap Partition is set to logical, setting all three to primary causes issues.
Reformat only the swap and format to logical. Then in Link2SD force it to reinstall the scripting and see if that fixes it.

Okay then. New problem. Now Link2SD says "No SD card present" and android doesn't mount it either.
This is killing me slowly.
I'll try to reformat the whole card via a reader...
Didnt work. SD card still not recognized.

OK. If your willing, lets start fresh. I am guessing you have your SDcard files backed up. Using Minitool partition delete all partitions and format as FAT32. Then create another partition of your size and format it as EXT (I prefer 4, EXT4) and set it to EXT(2,3,4,etc) and Primary. Then just for kicks, do not make a swap partition. I read that its not necessary, however I always do it..... well necessary only if you use a swap manager. So after the fat32 and ext partitions are made and minitool has created them. Take out the card, put it back into your pc and see if windows sees the fat32 partition. If good place it back into your phone and see if it upon bootup sees your sdcard.
Just in case as a reference here is the tutorial from the developer of Link2SD on how to set it up.

PC sees the FAT32. Phone sees the card now. Link2SD shows the partition but cant mount it and create the script for it. Also tried as ext2. Thanks for your help. I am going to try to update the ROM.
After updating the ROM to 2.4.0 and waiting 10 mins and rebooting as usual. was able to successfully link the partition! Thanks for your help!
No problem. Glad you got it working.

Got all my apps installed! Woot! Also, something must have been messed up with my previous flash.. I wasn't able to restore apps the newer way from titanium backup. I had to do it the old way one by one.

Easiest way to partition SD card (at least for me) is with twrp recovery: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/primou/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-primou.img
You find "Partition SD" under Advanced
However:
- for swap use Turbo Boost: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 or SwapItOn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182 - so you don't need a partition for swap :highfive:
- best (and fastest) is to leave all apps where they are. Specially if you still have free space. If you're running out of space, OK, move some to SD. Read here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...all-apps-internal-memory-external-memory.html and http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...r-store-my-apps-my-phones-memory-sd-card.html - so, actually, you don't need that partition too :highfive:

alright thanks bro.
so heres what i have decided, i will make partition on sd (for some big apps like games cuz internal is only 800 mb to begin with) using TWRP ...
and use the turbo mod to increase ram (it expands on internal right ?)
what do you say ?

hey so partition did not worked.
first i tried the twrp recovery method and it showed partition failed several times
then i tried mini tool partition from pc through sd card reader. i could create the first partition the one with out problem. but when attempted the second partition for my internal storaga, it said windows do not support the second partition, i continued never the less but again when i opened link2sd, it did not read my second (ext2) partition instead it read my main one fat32 and it said that it could not link my sd with ext2/3/4 only fat 32 .... any idea whats happening ? and i could not get turbo boost mod, instructions arent clear enough ..
does it have something to do with my custom rom/ kernel ?

Well, like it said on Link2SD app description: You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.
The first FAT partition is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
Some phones lack the ext2, ext3 or ext4 file system support and you may get mount errors like "no such device", "invalid argument". These phones need ext2.ko or ext3.ko modules and even some additional modules to be able to mount. Using FAT32 on the second partition will eleminate such problems, because FAT32 is supported on all phones.
Try partitioning on pc using: http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/ or http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html or some other program, just make partition FAT32
Regarding Turbo Boost: just put zip file on your SD card, install it through TWRP and follow on screen instructions... :fingers-crossed:

Use settings in link2sd to pick partition that you want. I don't have any other idea, sorry...
hey I'm currently using a fat32 second partition for my link2sd setup but I need an ext2/3/4 system to link the internal data (for google translate offline language packages) to my sd card as well.
I read that ext4 is not supported but ext3 is.
Thus, my actual question: can I reformat my fat32 partition to ext3 and keeping all the links and files so I don't have to reinstall/move all the applications currently linked?
Create 2nd partition as ext2...
Then, Recreate mount script and select ext4....
Reboot....
It will work....
It moves data also....
Enjoy.....
Wouldn't the data that is currently on the second partition be lost in that process?
Yes it would be. Formating deletes all data on the partition.
Can I just make a backup of the contents of the partition (copying all files) and put them back after the reformat?
Will link2sd still recognize these folders, will there be problems about permissions, ...
Thanks for the help because I basically messed up choosing fat32 in the first place :/
Theoretically it should work. Never tried that, so I cannot be sure.
Ok thanks.
I'll try it soon and post back the results

Hi, KoenGo I saw ur post, n I too was going to post d same question.
Actually I m switching from Link2SD to Link2SD Plus, n av to change d second partition from FAT32 to ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs.
I av posted d same question 2day in PHANDROID-Android Forum, so if I get an answer from them I'll let u no, n if b4 that u find out something, u let me no.
Goodluck n Thanx.
Just formatted the second partition to ext2 with Gparted and moved back the backup files from the partition. Selected ext4 when link2sd asked for the file system (I know it's weird but it worked).
Apps were temporarily uninstalled, so shortcuts on home are gone, but other than that all is working fine now.
Now I just need to get the plus version to link the internal data.
