MODULES!!

[fenrix]

So I was curious why in Galoula using picasticks I couldn't mount.
I checked in terminal:
losetup /dev/loop0
0
ok, that's curious.
Anyhow, I bought a portable hard drive and plan to see if I can mount it. in prepping the phone I determined something which I was sure of but couldn't get modprobing to work that the modules weren't loaded
I checked from the terminal I noticed only wireless.ko was listed.
I tried making the others load from terminal and failed.

prepping for a very feminine usb cable or an otg cable I nandroid backed up, and flashed gapps for market access, found my maps and super user have new versions lol.

I found an app called mount manager, cleared data from ad-free(twice) & uninstalled and opened mount manager
in the prefences I found again that the only module that loaded was wireless.ko
so I set to load modules on boot.
added cifs.ko
added ext2.ko
REBOOT
now the modules are loaded and linux installer and mounting debian works with my picasticks no more none OC'd kernels for me!

Can anyone tell me why I might want to use ext3 or 4 instead?
anyhow this app can load yer modules on boot as the init seems to fail to do so although I thought it was supposed to load All Modules in systemlibmodules pardon my slashlessness =P

ok so it's clear to see there:
load mbcache first, put jbd after that
then put ext2/3 etc.
for some reason I can't load cifs.ko
I thought I just had it working the 1st time...
anyhelp? anyone?

I am not sure if this prog will mount ntfs / my storage device yet.
although I did find that I can manually format the loop file as ext3 for linux installer via:
# losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/sdcard/Linux.loop
# mke2fs -j /dev/loop0
