I running Kravens CM7 ROM, and Xionia recovery. I followed all the commands in the 1st post and everything seemed to go fine. No errors.

I was expecting to have more space in my phone's memory. But there isn't any extra space.

That's what this is supposed to do, right? If so, any ideas on what could be going on with my phone?

Hello,
I followed the installation for my optimus S and all went well until data2ext -enable. It said it cannot find data2ext !
Any ideas?

Hello MasterJake,
I am using the Your MOM ROMso maybe I am missing a step. But I still am unable to activate data2ext. See attached CMD stream.
This is after formatting and partitioning the SDCARD.
Thanks for your comments.

Yup partitioned fine , used the recovery that come with MOM ROM, zvhrec. HAve reflashed a couple of time. Cleaned everything on the SDcard except the data2ext on MOMROM installation page. Then partitioned in recovery. Then ran some formatting script I believe.

Confounded !:confused:

Don't know where else to put this so I figured here. I am a big supporter of data2ext and have been using it since I can remember. Often when I drop my phone it kills data2ext I assume from the sdcard moving in the phone. I fix this with the e2fsck command in the op. Fixes most of my data2ext issues. Just an fyi.

What would be the proper procedure when upgrading from one CM7 rom to a newer version of the same rom? I've got data2ext working great on thekraven's 11-20 build, would like to flash his 12-6 build.

Thanks in advance!

Caveat: I have switched roms, but I have not upgraded since installing data2ext. So take this with a grain of salt (or a nandroid backup is always useful)

I believe all you have to do after an upgrade is flash data2ext and run data2ext -enable again.

If you want to move the dalvik-cache to the SDEXT you would need to follow those procedures also.
