A2SD+ partition size?

[Guest Sanukk]

Hi All,

I've just got a nice new memory card for my phone (HTC Desire) and was thinking about getting some more A2SD+ space. I currently have 512MB formatted via ROM Manager, that's the most it can do. will A2SD+ work on a larger partition or is that it? Was planning to format it myself on a Linux (Fedora) laptop.

Also what is the best way of moving everything from the old card to the new one?

Anything else I should be aware/frightened of?

Hi,

I've found a tutorial at http://www.techcredo.com/android/tutorial-...ndows-pc-ext234, which is more or less what I had in mind anyway.

I'm still unsure of sizes though, I've seen a few references to 1GB for A2SD+ but I was thinking of going for one and a half or two (over-kill I know, but I have the space available so why not?), will this cause any problems?

Also any recommendations on swap size?

I'm currently running a re-baked fr11-with-sense ROM if that is relevant.

I use 512 mb for ext and 256 mb for swap.

Hi

I used gparted to create a 4gig ext3 and just over half a gig for swap.

I'm having problems with the dalvic cash, I need to keep booting into recovery to wipe it, but not sure if that has anything to do with this.

Hi

It think this bloody memory card playing tricks though, it's a 16GB class10 card, and it refuses to format via ROM Manager and does really odd stuff if I do it be hand using gparted (either wont install some stuff until I wipe the dalvic cash, or just forgets other stuff has been installed), anybody heard of this before? It also refuses to flash any ROMs not on the SD root with a *VERY* short name, claiming no such file or folder exists. If it is the card (quite sure it is) would changing the card fix it, or will I need to change make of card too?
