CWM 4.0.1.5
Code:
Changelog:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread
Also changed the Init logo. You should like it :P
This brings you up to date.

DOWNLOAD

External: http://krylon360.com/file_host/G2x/nvflash-external-08222011.zip


To flash, use NVFLASH.
I am using Chris's nvflash script from the original cwm. I modified it to flash the new recovery image.

Instructions
Power off phone
take battery out
hold vol up and down and plug in USB
You wont see anything, but it should mount
(If you get an error USB Device not found after running the script, unplug from pc and phone, and redo it)
extract file
type ./flash-recovery.sh and enter
once you see .img sent successfully, unplug usb and put bat back in
hold vol down + power, once you see the 2nd logo, let go


OLD!
This is the newest version of CWM compiled from Source. Along with this comes some much needed changes.
1st and foremost: I am not responsible for any bricks. Know what you are doing before attempting this.


Code:
New Version Changes 06/16/2011
Reverted back to Yellow Color Scheme (this was causing source not to sync)
What ever else changed with the source
This is just to bring you guys to the latest CWM Source.
New Host :)

Changes:
Red font (Much like Voodoo Red CWM) to show EXT4 Support
Able to backup and restore both ext3 and ext4 without any issues
(restore ext3 over ext4 and vice-versa)

EDIT: 2 versions now avail. These instructions are for the Internal SD version only
CWM now mounted to Internal SD. Brought back flashing from Internal SD due to request.
External SD is also mounted, however at this time, unable to flash from both internal and external.
If you would like your old CWM backups, be sure to copy over the Clockworkmod folder from your external to your internal sd.

External version instructions.
There aren't any. Flash as you are use to with the 3.0.2.7 Yellow recovery

hold vol down + power, when you see the BLUE LG LOGO, let go of the buttons. There is no more ANDROID logo.


EDIT: 05/24/2011
New Update.
Updated 2nd Boot Logo, now no longer Blue LG
Fixed USB Mass Storage option. Now mounts to the PC when selecting.
Reboot option is due to a kernel issue on stock. If you have CM7, this works though.

Please excuse my ignorance! In layman's terms, what benefits will I see over the original cwm recovery?

you can now backup and restore ext4 based partitions.
This also give the option to have the latest cwm, and gives the option to be able to flash from internal sd if you happen to have a small microsd, anotherwords if you have only a 2gb microsd, go for the internal version because that will give you more space for roms, kernels, and mods, and backups.

UnionMount/aufs/unionfs?

Anybody remember the discussions and use of aufs (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Aufs) and unionfs (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/UnionFS) back in the G1 days? Lots of discussions here in XDA about it but I believe it was available in haykuro, cyanogen and jesusfreak builds. It allows two separate filesystems to appear on the same mount point. I'm not sure what issues exist with it today but maybe some of the kernel hackers could comment?

Anyone else notice that the SD card space free is messed up on the external version? Still seems to be reading the free space from Internal, although SEEMS to be backing up to external SD (as its not failing w/ on 300MBs free)

EDIT: LMAO! Guess i accidentally flashed the wrong version. That's what happens when I work on my phone before coffee........

Yeah, I remember the Apps2SD via unionfs by MarcusMaximus. TheDudeofLife had it incorporated in his Cupcake builds....ahh, the good old days. :)
