How to create 3 partitions for A2SD

Hi,

I've just installed the new custom rom and noticed it mentions it has A2SD installed in it for ext3. Am I missing something? A few people have said they have created a 200mb partition but I can't find anywhere to do this. What is ext2 and ext3 used for? And how do we create/use them?

Thanks

I used this guide, pretty clear! and spelled out step by step.

Thanks for that. I'm gonna have a go at this tomorrow. Am I right in thinking that Pauls modified Rom will automatically use this Ext3 for A2SD?

Juding by how much memory I have free, I'm saying yes.

Did you follow the instructions right to the end? To where it gives instructions for upgrading your ext3 to ext4?

If yes...I'm really sorry but I kinda forgot that I had exactly the same problem. It works if you leave the partion as ext3. Really sorry, totally slipped my mind.

:D

Probably worth starting again, removing the partitions and setting the up but only going to ext3 as Pauls rom uses ext3 and not ext4.

Then hopefully should be ok. I'm going to do mine tonight, so I'll let you know if it works for me.

Thanks everyone, great help
