I've got a Samsung Galaxy tab sm t230 and it has a small 8 gig internal memory so I want to use a micro sd to expand this by using something like mount 2sd.
Ive created a fat 32 and ext4 partition on a micro sd card using aparted, also tried doing this with mini partition tool, and both are 8 gig.
However I can't seem to mount the ext4 partition in order to use it in the mount2sd app.
When in twrp it doenst see the partition.
Its created as primary and I am using a custom rom.
Any thoughts on this or how I can use my micro sd to expand the internal memory space?

Here you are
First back up your sd card data then partition sd card- use mini tool for that you can searh how to partition sd card on xda there is a simple guide for it. I made it using cwm but you can make only upto 256 mb partition for swapper using cwm. Short guide using mini tool( no limitations) use card reader, first delete partitions on sd card, create Ist partition primary fat32, 2nd one primary ext3(1 gb recommended its enough for all apps and 1gb+ is not tested) 3rd partition swap(1gb) then apply place sd in PLAY open link 2 sd select ext3 done reboot open swapper2 chage setting as you want click 'on' that's it.

ext partition is usually used if you want extend your internal memory like using link2sd or other tools.
i don't think it's necessary with our phone, because it has 1g+ internal. you can simply move the apps to sdcard to free some internal mem.
CWM if i'm not wrong, by default creates ext3 partition.
thanks 4 ur explaination...
Hello everyone, I know this thread is already present and I also red the info regarding with it, but it seems my problem is something I can't solve with the help of those previous instructions. I have an I idea how to solve it but I'm hesitant to do it because I don't know if it works, and I kinda scared to do it because I don't want to buy again another SD Card if ever the present one will break.
Problem: I have a torrent app in my Note II and I liked to use it always because it downloads fast, but the problem is that whenever I want to download files that is more than 4GB in size, I always receive an error that the file I want to download is to big for the file system; (file system limit exceeded), and I learned that this error occurs when my storage system is FAT/FAT32, then I read a thread in this forum that this will be solved by converting my SD Card's file system to NTFS and use Paragon NTFS Mount app so that my NTFS Card will be accepted by my phone, alas I did as what was instructed, converted my SD Card to NTFS, mount my card to storage/sdCard/extcard <---Created another path as it was said that using the default path would make it not work. But when I re-started to download files it fails to me again, the same problem encountered (file system limit exceeded). I even converted my SD card to exFat because I heard that this can handle large files, more than 4GB but also to no avail.
Solution(not tested yet): I am planning to make 2 partitions in my SD card, one partition would be fat32 and the other would be NTFS, and use also paragon app, so that when I insert my card to my phone, the phone will mount the FAT system to the fat32 partition and leave the NTFS partition alone and not be used.
Does this method of mine will work? Are there any ideas aside from what I had in mind that will also help me solve my little problem. I know that this problem of mine is not that big, and I can just refer it to other threads and the google but I want to know from the pro's and OP's here if my method is possible.
Thank you!
Kudos to all!:good:

You need to define a mount point like sdcard0 is internal sd sdcard1 is external sd fat32 partition sdcard2 as the ntfs partition which is really hard to do on a samsung based rom (even windows doesnt recognize the second partition on sd cards ) you can format the sd to ext3 or ext4 it's the best possible solution

I see, too bad, but thanks any way. Does the procedure in formatting my sd card to ext3 or ext4 is the same as when I format my card to fat32 other system, or would you use a program to do it.
Why are you using Fat32 or NTFS just format the SD card to ExFAT. No size limit and compatible with Note2 & Windows
I think the problem you are having is due to the torrent app you are using, it might be trying to use the internal phone memory as a temporary location for the file you are downloading. Try changing your torrent app

Well i have got a solution to this problem.
It can be solved by using link2sd. When we open link2sd it would let us select the 2nd sd partition type i.e. ext4 and mount scripts would be created then phone will reboot and we can see 2nd partition using root browser in data/sdext2 or something like this.

What I've tried:
1.Using Mini Partition Wizard to create exFat 100gb partition and ~20gb ext2 partition
2. when I pick the partition (ext2) of the sd card in link2sd it gives an error.
Also, after partitioning the sd card I when I plug the phone to the computer (via usb) using mtp only the phone storage shows up. But when the sd card is in the phone the 100gb exfat partition shows up.
