Does the format partition System Storage is fat32 or ext4?
If not ext4 how can i format it into ext4??
Just to warn the other ROM creators, if you unmount and format the system partition in the updater-script you will get a bootlop. Delete the system forlder recursively, DON'T TRY TO UNMOUNT, FORMAT AND REMOUNT /system PARTITION
I had move the /system partition on sd card, and modified the init file to mount sdcard partition when booting. But it failed and the phone stayed at logo screen.
I create a FAT32 partition and ext4 partitions on sd card with MiniTool partition Wizard, and mount them under /mnt directory.
Then, copy /system partition to sdcard, by cp -a /system /mnt/system.
Finally, I extract the boot partition, modified the init file in ramdisk directory, repack and flash back to internal memory.
The mount info located in init.smdk4x12.rc as mount_all fstab.smdk4x12. So I modify the mount point of /system as sdcard partition.
The phone cannot boot, and stay at logo screen.
However, I use the same method to /cache and /data partitions, it works very well.
So, is there anything wrong with this method for /system partition?
Thanks for your help!!!
How can I wipe /vendor partition using pc anyone knows ?
I am trying to install postmarketos on /data partition on Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. I am trying to use /data for installation rather /system as /data is much bigger.
While installing postmarketos, /data will be reformatted. I know /sdcard is a special mount inside /data. If after installing postmarketos I want to come back to AOSP/Lineage, will formatting /data in TWRP or via heimdall recreate /sdcard properly. I am not sure if /sdcard is just a inode/path reference or a particular sector reference inside /data.
