Is it possible for someone to create a script to convert ext3 to ext4 and backwards.
I'v flashed my recovery menu with unrevoked, and clockmodwork doesn't support ext partitions in their recovery image.

This recovery allows you to convert your ext3 partition to ext4 (not backwards)
But you can easily do it within Linux using GParted
I've tried that.
When i start gparted it indeed can let me format back to ext3, only when i format back to ext3 i will lose my data on the ext4 partition.
I thought maybe there was a option to create a GScript script, so i can run it on my phone.
Have you try to mount ext4 as ext3?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
The ext3 file system is partially forward compatible with ext4, that is, an ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext3 partition (using "ext3" as the filesystem type when mounting). However, if the ext4 partition uses extents (a major new feature of ext4), then the ability to mount the file system as ext3 is lost.

PULL the files from the ext4 partition, then format it to ext3 and PUSH them back.

What are the benefits ClockworkMod with ext4 support?
support ext4
all wipe do in ext4 filesystem.
but i think, that ext3 or ext4 on DHD not too serious.
ext4 work better than ext3 only on large servers
Does the format partition System Storage is fat32 or ext4?
If not ext4 how can i format it into ext4??
Hey guys,
i thinking about using f2fs on Nokia X
I format /data and /cache as f2fs and changed values in fstab.qcom and its work and it 2x faster than ext4 !
But i have one question, can anyone port recovery like twrp, cwm and philz with f2fs support
because in philz recovery /data and /cache not accessible
Hi!
Can I format data from ext4 to f2fs?
Is it safe?
I am very curious about this subject
