Tell us what your trying to do, and we may have a way to do it, just plain partition one full sd card as fat32 can be done multiple ways, if your trying to make a extended sd card partition for a2sd that too can be done multiple ways.

i just did the sense rom and it says about the =A2sd support: Create a partition using custom recovery to enable a2sd. Make sure that partition is on ext3 format. Make partition before flashing rom. **Backup your sdcard because during partition it gets formatted.**

ok, which custom recovery do you have? the getitnow one? or the one by joneidy?
when you go into custom recovery and go to the partition menu it asks about adb? that is strange.
Do you have linux on a computer, or even just download a live dvd and run that, do you have a sd card reader or usb adapter then you could format using the computer.
or if no linux available they do have programs that can format sd cards in many file systems. if you have an sd card reader of course.

False. Our phone does not YET support swap. You could add it in there and the you won't have to repartition again when someone compiles a swap kernel. 32mb is fine...

The problem with swap on android phones, if you enable swap space the phone will use it, and if it writes to swap it takes longer to reinitialize the swap then to open the app from a closed state.
android does such a good job by itself in taking care of apps you dont want it to use swap. if the app is not needed it will close it but if you have swap available it will stick it there and since swap is just using storage space, and on the sd card at that it will take it longer to reuse that app.
I don't believe the phone will automatically start using swap. I just set up swap on a friends mytouch3g/1.2 and I had to initialize it for the phone to make use of it. And adding a swap partition and enabling it doubled the performance.
Which way is correct way to type instructions in. GNM's above has line one only once - Joneidy's Instructions below repeats line one again towards end, see below. Want to make sure, cus I did this last night (for clean start) using GNM's download link, but typed instructions using Joneidy's below. TIA
Joneidy's Recovery Instructions
After the # symbol type:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

for apps downloaded from market you go to market, sign into gmail and then hit menu, depending on which version of market you have you will get a menu with My Apps, or Downloads, click it and it will show you all your apps you can then redownload them.

Quick question - doing this again n using GNM's instructions - Recovery menu still has Joneidy's name at bottom, is this correct? Sorry just want to make sure it shouldn't say GNM or something else - TIA
