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.

Hallo guys,
I've created my ext partition with ROM Manager, but I couldn't choose the file system format (ext2, ext3, ext4).
How can I check witch file system is my partition? Eventually how can I change it?
thanks a lot!

Can someone explain to me how it is possible to change the ROM format on the device from ext3 to ext4?
What is to do to have DesireHD running on ext4 instead of ext3? Just simply convert the format will not work...
Thanks in advance!
You mean partition, yes?
Either by flashing melethron's ext4 format .zip (ext4_alignment.zip)
Or partition the card with some partition program (GParted, Easeus etc.)
i guess he was talking about the internal partition of his desire HD..all his post are in the desire hd section, he wrong forum
Does the format partition System Storage is fat32 or ext4?
