Partitions : A2SD and Rom Use 1 year 11 weeks ago

I recently rooted with CM7 and had partitioned my SDcard prior to install and I believe Apps2SD (CM) is already part of this ROM.

partition sdcard to ext4 31 weeks 11 hours ago

I am having little problem here.:( I partitioned my sdcard with cwm with 1gb ext4 partition and 256mb of swap partition. it said done succesfully.but when i crosschecked in minitool partition wizard it showd partition as ext3. now when link2sd asks me which partition it is then what should i do. i want to use as ext4 bcz i read that it is the best among ext2 3 4 (tell me if its not).

Hi,

I used this guide (cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_G uide) to install CM9 on my Xperia Play. After everything worked out well I decided to "extend" my external memory by using s2e and an ext3 partition. First I created a big primary fat32 (~29GB) partition and then a primary ext3 partition (~1.5GB) on my sd card.

I have two HDDs>> hd0 is internal , hd1 is external.

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 in the external hdd as follows: "\home" ext3-partition in (hd1,2) "\root" ext3-partition in (hd1,3) "swap" partition in (hd1,4)

During installation, I changed the bootloader setting.

the issue i am having has been narrowed down quite a bit through various posts from here and on google. the set up is amarok 2.3.1, kde 4.4.5 and fedora 13. when i am scanning my collection amarok crashes. the music is on a second mounted hard drive with an ntfs formatting.

I am looking for a partition imaging program, like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image, that will run on the PC (not from live-cd or USB) and can save the image onto a separate partition.

While booting android on board, i am partitioning the SD Card into two partition such as boot and rootfs.

Both are different filesystem.

My question is: Why boot partition need to be vfat, and rootfs need to be ext3 or ext4?

Please explain to me in detail.

Is ext4 stable on 11.10? 1 year 11 weeks ago

I have seen that Ubuntu 11.10 is offering Ext4 as default file system. As I have googled some time on ext4 and found that ext3 is quite stable that ext4 as it still has some bugs.

Even the Ubuntu Documentation is referring Ext3. Link

So, I would like to know whether Ext4 is currently stable on 11.10 or not than Ext3

I use partimage to backup my ext4 partition, but during backup, the partition was detected as an ext3 partition. So I'm wondering if this can cause something bad.
