I can't even get it to work. I partitioned my card, but every time I try to run link2sd, I get:

Mount script cannot be created
mount: mounting /dev/block/
vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2
failed: Device or resource busy

Documentation, as usual, is lacking. What does this mean and how do I resolve it?

Just install the apps on your phone instead of sd card. They will run better and save you room on the sd card for other things.

32Gb on the sd card, 256M on the phone. Guess where I'd rather save storage?

256mb is still alot of room considering most apps are below 5 mb.....

Make 2nd partition fat32-reboot -run link2sd-reboot again -should be good to go.....that's how I had to do it.(2nd partition shows n/a in app but it is there and working)

256M is the TOTAL. There's less than 75M available.

Geez... so what was the point of creating the /ext2 partition then??

 

[javaman70]

Ext2 is if your rom supports it. Some do some don't.. like mine LGB doesn't. But you need 2nd partition anyway.

CM6 apparently doesn't support /ext2, but Bugless_Beast does. Managed to free up almost half of the available phone storage, but I am now seeing the same issue as the original poster... if I reboot the phone, I have to reinstall everything that was moved. Something isn't right...

I was getting the same errors. I was able to figure out that the ext3 module was not loaded. I did the following steps and am now able to get things up and running with link2sd.

I'm running CM7. I have a second partition on my sdcard that is ext3.

1. Make sure your second partition is already there.
2. Open adb shell, verify root or make yourself root (# prompt).
3. Verify the ext3 module has not already been loaded by running "lsmod".
4. If it is not in the list, run "modprobe ext3".
5. Test that you can mount the second partition with one of the two commands:
   1. mount -t ext3 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
   2. mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
6. If one of them works, run link2sd and allow it to install the script.
7. Reboot. It likely will not work at this point.
8. Remount /system as rw.
9. Run "cat 11link2sd". Copy the text to a blank text document.
10. Comment out this line:

    1. insmod /system/lib/modules/ext3.ko

11. Add this line right below the one commented out:

    1. modprobe ext3

12. Push the file to the device, overwriting the existing one: adb push 11link2sd /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd
13. Change permissions and owner on the file:
    1. chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd
    2. chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd
14. Remount /system as ro.
15. Attempt to mount the second partition now.
16. Start link2sd and verify it sees the second partition.
17. Test (if desired): Move one app that uses a widget to the second partition. I tested with Bing. Reboot and verify that your widgets still work. I had to reboot twice the first time (not sure why).

Everything should work now...

Same issue on the Nexus One

Hi everyone,
I read this thread while I was looking for a solution for my Nexus One.
I wrote the steps I took to solve the same issue in this guide Flivver: HowTo: use Link2sd with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.

Bye
