a2sd stopped working

[Guest dbeckett]

I have had a2sd on my phone for the last week, I installed it with pauls rom and it has been working fine. I have a 8gb card, 1gb ext2 and 7gb fat32 and everything worked fine. However today it suddenly stopped working, I was loading the gallery app and I noticed it was taking along time (around 3mins I waited) and from that point on a2sd stopped working, I reckoned at the time that maybe the sd card somehow lost its connection with the phone hence crashing the ext2 extension and loosing all my apps off my phone.

The fat32 partition seems to be loading fine as I can see all the files in clockwork and when my phone is mounted to my pc using usb.

I've loaded up gparted and done a check on the ext2 partition and it didnt show any problems, however through ubuntu live disk, it can't access the ext2 partition(not sure if it ever could). I've also tired reflashing pauls rom with a2sd with no improvement.

When i open up my phone and use "adb shell a2sd check" or any a2sd command for that matter it says a2sd cant be found. I've also tried mounting my ext2 through clockwork recovery with no success.

One thing I did notice however is when i went to backup in clockwork, it seems to be backing up all my apks in the ext2 partition, which makes me question if it is indeed corrupted.

I wonder if any of yous can give me any suggestions on what the problem may be, as since the a2sd command isn't working I'm wondering if its a problem with that somehow and not the sd card? I presume the a2sd won't be copied onto my sd card with the rest of the apps?

Any help would be very much appreciated
