ext4 on SD Card

[boxscotch]

Optimus S

I formatted my 8gb SD card with gParted as:

1st Partition Primary Fat32 - 6.8gb
2nd Partition Primary ext4 - 1gb
3rd Partition Linux Swap - 32mb (not sure if needed).

I am using the ath3nos Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) Rom.

My question is how do I get it to recognize it the ext4 partition.

I can't seem to find the right way to do it :'(

No swap needed.

Ok, No swap. Will remove and extend my fat32. But how do I get the phone to recognize the ext4 partition.

With the link I posted. If you're using an ext, it will store your internal memory on there. that is if you are using a compatible rom.

do you know if reborn is compatible

Its not. According to the changelog it is, but from experience, we all know it's not... you will have to run a cm7 port to get it to work right.

I am using the ath3nos Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) Rom, is that compatible.
Which is same as the link you posted.

Perfect! Format a partition. Run commands. Flash the file from data2ext. Good 2 go.

Can you Please let me know, which commands? Are they all the same for different phones?
