Hi, I'm having a problem about my external 64gb mmc. I have partition it in 3 parts.
While using CM13 I can access all the threes but in stock lollipop ES File Explorer shows me only one partition.
I think that these partitions are not mounted.
Is there any way to fix it?

Paragon app may be able to help you with that:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=en
I have also 3 partitions, 1 is FAT32 which is mounted by the system, and 2x NTFS partitions are mounted by Paragon.
All partitions are FAT32
my all partitions are FAT32. and paragon works only with NTFS HFS etc. What now?

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
I had been trying to install the new oxygen 2.0.1 with and the data2whatever scripts and also tried to reformat my sd card to increase from 512 to 1024mb.
from what ive read i may have somewhoe reformatted my internal sd ext or did something to it.
I followed one fix found from hereHere
but that didnt help it made another problem which is: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) I/O error
error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
does anyone else know a link for a fix or how to fix the sd-ext on the internal storage?
Please please help
Thanks
CWM messed up mine, so that's why I never use Recoveries to do this job.
I fixed it using GParted. Deleted both partitions, created new ones and aligned both.
No problem ever since.

Hey thanks for the reply, can you explain a little more.
you deleted the mmcblk0p2 directory and created new ones?
Did you do that in adb with parted?
if not how did you go about with it?
Thank you
I booted GParted from my usb stick, and the phone was in recovery mode, where I mounted the SD Card (Advanced - Mount USB Storage).
Gparted recognized it as dev/sdb0 (I think) and showed to partitions.
Removed them both (showed 15 GB Unallocated space*) and created the 1GB Ext4 and then the Rest FAT32.
*=16GB is 15 GB usable space (just in case ).

Yeah thanks. I figured out how to do the sd card but i think my problem is the actual sd-ext folder in the system partition on the phone.
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblck0p2 (file exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!
ANy one else have any other suggestions??
im getting desperate
SOLVED
I finally solved this. the problem was that somehow i dont know but
when i made the ext 3 partition it was extened, so obviously recovery couldnt mount it so that was the problem.
I fixed it by following this guys thread Here using parted and the shell to format and partition my sd card
So relieved i fixed this.
Same problem was in my desire.however, solved by install RUU ROM to remove the root then I root again the problem solved.
I managed to partition my sd card with 2 partitions one being ntfs like 50gb and the other fat32 being only for roms kernels gapps etc for revery about 8-9GB.
My problem is windows can only see the first partition on a removable drive so how do I convert the drive to a normal hard disk so windows can see both partitions and recovery will see the fat32 partition? Android should see both ntfs and fat32 partitions right? With the use of paragon the ntfs drive works in android.
My main reason for ntfs is speeds on windows when writing I get 10-20MB/s write and fat32 only get 4-8 and I rarely see 10MB/s write on fat32.
One more thing, do we have USB Mass Storage on twrp? I'd say it would be hella nice to have like in CWM.
THANKS
Twrp has adb. Not sure on mass storage.

I'm not exactly new to linux, or android, but I'm not familiar with how android treats external storage vs. internal.
I had advised a few people to format their external drives as ext4 since the kernel would probably support it (and the system, data and cache partitions are ext4 so it DOES). However, when I format my external storage (32gb and 1gb USB sticks) to ext*, it doesn't show up, even in the logcat or in ES File Explorer (or a mount command, but with no root or fdisk -l i didn't dig too far).
So I was wondering if anyone happens to know why thats the case. Clearly the kernel supprots ext4, but you can't mount external storage with it?
FYI, so far that I've seen, I can't format external storage with the ouya. It also only supports NTFS read, and FAT32 R/W.

I've asked this question too, I tried with different harddrives to all the ext formats and nothing picks it up. there are a few apps like ntfs mounter which supports ext but requires rooting.
Android only recognises FAT32 and I think CDFS and UDF. May also recognise FAT16. NTFS and exFAT are both patented so need expensive licenses for a manufacturer to include them in devices (a few do on their modified firmwares).
I have no idea why ext isn't supported though. I presume it is something to do with the relative rarity of ext drives outside of Linux boot devices.

isnt the internal memory ext4?
anyone who has there ouya rooted could you please try one of the harddrive mounting apks like paragon or ntfs mounter and see if the ext formats get picked up?
got ext3 working with usb otg helper app. You need root access.
No problem mounting ext4
Just made myself a 15GB ext4 formatted second partition on a 32GB usb drive. Just because Ouya only looks at the first partition, and assumes it's fat32 should not discourage you. Just open a adb shell to your Ouya, become superuser, create a directory /mnt/mydata, and mount it:
In adb shell:
1. su
2. mkdir /mnt/mydata
3. mount -t ext4 /dev/block/vold/8\:2 /mnt/mydata

There is in fact a standard read-only NTFS driver in LInux, and it's supported on the OUYA. An NTFS-formatted USB hard drive automounts upon hot plugin.
I finally got a reply back from ouya support about ext3/4 not being recognized and they said its been resolved. Looking forward to the next firmware.
So i have link2SD and i have my Micro SD split equally but one partition won't mount, ext2 gets read and allows data copy via link2SD but I can't access it and the other partition won't mount at all so I can't use it for storage. I used part of this tutorial to help

Try a different format.

No luck, I have been able to mount the ext2 but the Fat32/exfat partition won't mount

Try exFat.
Sorry you said you tried that. Would if you would reformat the whole card and recreate the partition. And by the way, the android system uses ext4(the app partition). Don't know if it makes a difference though.

You tried create partition with minitool partition wizard? Try ext4 or ext2 and associate in link2sd
