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).
Cans someone help me out here? I spent an abnormal amount of time figuring out how to do it to no avail.. I flashed CROMI 3.2.1 and then flashed the Data2SD patch in sbdag's thread. I also tried the _that kernel patch he had given.. Again to no avail. I used MiniTool to partition. First partition was FAT32 second was ext4. Both primary. I also set the ext4 partition as active.
I recently switched from Windows to Lubuntu as my sole OS.
My filesystem now has a NTFS partition with all my data (which I now would like to convert to EXT4), a EXT4 partition with Lubuntu on it and a swap partition.
I have a full backup of the data, so wiping the NTFS partition is not the problem. But I want to be sure that, after wiping/converting it I can still boot Lubuntu just as before.
A new USB Flash memory viewed in Disk Utility has Partition Type FAT and Type is also FAT.
I want to use this device for my tar backups and I have no need for portability to Windows so I decided to click on Format Volume to convert it to ext4. The Type changed to ext4 but to my surprise Partition Type is still FAT, specifically W95 FAT32 LBA 0x0c.

Yesterday I decided to convert my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition to Ext4 since my exposure to Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.
This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.
Hi,
I formatted my external SDCard with 2 partitions, so I could use it with Link2SD. Since I am on a Mac I only could format the first one, which is FAT32. Now I need to format the 2nd with ext4 but I can only do this from inside the phone. Which is no problem, except I do not understand where I can find the device, I need to format.

Hello, I previously had 4 partitions on my computer, in order of on hard drive:
1. NTFS
2. FAT32
3. Linux swap
4. Ext4 (Ubuntu 11.04)
However, they weren't in that order in the partition table (ie. I think the Ext4 was /dev/sda1 maybe). Anyway, I used GParted to delete the FAT32 partition, so:
1. NTFS
2. Linux swap
3.
I accidentally used dd and wrote over the first 208MB of my external disk. What I wrote over is a partition on its own (Debian nestinstaller) so what I see now is not my old (now damaged) ext4 partition but another smaller partition. This limits the tools and advices I could follow.
My plan was to recreate the partition table with testdisk and then fix everything with the backup superblocks.
