Default Format sdext without pc

Some people have no pc , so they face problems with formatting their sdext pertition , this is for those guys
------*******----------**********----------
1. Download terminal emulator
2. Open terminal emultor
Type
--------------*********-----------------
su (press enter)
mkdir /data/sdext (press enter)
mount -t ext2 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext (press enter)
3. Go to /data/sdext
Delete all in it.
4. Open emulator and
Type
su (press enter)
umount /data/sdext (press enter)
Then reboot.
------*****----------*****-----*****--------
It is for when you are using any rom without a2sd like stock and you want to format sdext for flash new rom.
-------------**************-------------------
Note: 1. if you are using ext3 then use code
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext

If you are using ext4 then use code
mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext

2. If the no. 4 not works then dont worry, just reboot. But always try to use all codes.
---------------*******--------*******--------
If it is helpful press thanks.

thats not a correct reformating method but it can be used as a alternative method if we don't have a PC. the correct command is mkfs.ext2.
