I'm trying to activate apps2sd in Fresh 1.0.1. So I partitioned my card using Amon's RA recovery. I gave it 32MB swap memory and 512MB of Ext2 memory. Then I upgraded the Ext2 to Ext3. The recovery program makes if very simple.

But neither the phone nor Fresh will recognize the partition. it still doesn't work. Please see the code below:

Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\eokda57>cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05SHL05247    device

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# a2sd check

am using Fresh 1.0.1. Specifically, this is what bothers me: Ext partition found, but not mounted. What does that mean?

Also, when I look at "Quick System Info" here is what I see:

Meaning that there is no partition being recognized.

HOWEVER - The stupid thing IS partitioned, because the 16GB card is now about 14GB.

So what the heck??

Can anybody help me?
