my recovery alrealy support ext2,3,4, nilfs2 (6 month ago)

if you want to add filesystem support edit switch.sh (insmod your modules) and edit to
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sddata auto defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

echo "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sddata auto defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

We already have it in switch.sh.
But thanks! =)

Just curious: what changed in open_rcvr.STR?

i edit this part
#app2ext partition on sdcard
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ] ; then
mkdir /sddata
insmod "$MODPATH/jbd.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/ext3.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/ext2.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/crc16.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/jbd2.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/mbcache.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/ext4.ko"
insmod "$MODPATH/nilfs2.ko"
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sddata auto defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
#e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
fi

i remove e2fsck for nilfs2

dateno1 · Aug 19, 2011

#chek linux version
LVER=`uname -r | awk '{split($0,a,"-"); print a[1]}'`
MODPATH="/lib/modules/$LVER"

also i add it

it will auto recognize kernel's version and auto mount current modules

I took your OpenRecovery and added/fixed some things:

'Power Off' menu option
'Toggle Display Brightness' menu option (to reduce battery drain--alternates between bright/dim)
Fixed nandroid backup all (by hiding the partitions that don't work)
Fixed 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'
Renamed 'Applications Menu' to 'Utilities'
Added a symbolic link: /sd-ext -> /sddata
Updated e2fsck to a 1.41.10 (for ext4 support)
Added 'SD Card Utilities'
- 'Scan FAT partition for errors'
- 'Scan ext partition for errors'
- Can convert ext2->ext3, ext2->ext4, ext3->ext4 (requires ROM support)
- 'Save diagnostics to /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt' for debugging
- Eventually this will also manage the app/link2sd directories

EDIT: updated with statically-compiled fsck_msdos, tune2fs, e2fsck, and mke2fs from the CM6.3.0 source

Awesome nice wok man

Mioze7Ae · Aug 20, 2011

The SD Card Utilities aren't working if CM6 isn't installed. I need to find a tune2fs that is statically linked. I thought this one was, but I was wrong.

Edit: fixed now in -fix4

What would it take to incorporate these changes into Androidiani OR?

Mioze7Ae · Aug 20, 2011

I compiled static binaries for e2fsprogs and fsck_msdos and updated the zip. I should be working now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16812349&postcount=7

Some of these changes are pretty easy. Others are a little more involved. You can look at the diffs in github and port ones that you'd like. Eventually I'd like to merge the functionality of both but I'm focusing on OR for now. You can look at what went into each change by looking at the "Commits" tab at github and then clicking on the commit number on the far right side for a particular change and you'll see what changes were made to which files. For example this is the Toggle Display Brightness change.

I can't get neither one of my sdcards ext4 to mount. I wonder if it might be cause I started with CM6.3? Instead of upgrading from CM6.1 to CM6.3? Just a thought since some of us can and can't mount ext4

Can you install the *-fix4 openrecovery and use

OR > SD Card Utilities > Save diagnostics

And then post the /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt?

Do you have a nandroid of your ext2 partition? If so, try restoring it and the using SD Card Utilities to convert it to ext4.

Yeah I will post the /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt here but it says the same as what fjfalcon was quoting. And yes I do have a Nandroid of ext2 but never tried to restore it yet. I will try now...

Hell is other people? lol

***Here it is View attachment sdcard-info.txt

Mioze7Ae · Aug 20, 2011

Are you referring to the info.txt that fjfalcon posted in the CM6 thread? The commands I gave there weren't correct. In any case the sdcard-info.txt produced by *-fix4 are much expanded and look quite different... I can't find any other post by fjfalcon...

Oh sorry Mz didn't mean to make you look for it, I was talking about when he was saying how some aren't mounting. Anyway I posted it above your last post. I have my ext2 restored. I will try to convert it tomorrow. thanks man.

Ok, try creating an empty /sd-ext/app|/sddata/app directory and reboot. Then go back to OR and recreate the sdcard-info.txt

I'm sorry not sure what you mean here "empty /sd-ext/app|/sddata/app directory"
