Root quick sd card partition question?

[sanity29]

Currently running mikg v3.11 with my card partitioned for a2sd. It seems to be working fine. I'm curious what the advantage or purpose to using ext4 is? Right now I'm using ext3 and have not done a ext4 partition.
Also, what is the command to move caches to the partition? Does it move both cache and dalvik or just one of them?

Thanks for the info.

from what i gather ext4 is slightly faster then ext3 and it might hold more data then ext3. however, not all roms have ext4 support so you will need to read the changelogs and the op to find out the info about a2sd.

here is the list of commands for a2sd:

and the command will be:

a2sd cachesd

I don't think mikg supports ext4

The two knowledgeable guys I was hoping to answer, answered. Thanks, I'll stick with ext3 but move the cache. Which cache does the command move?

that command moves dalvik cache to the card.

For the record, I'm fairly certain that NO sense roms support EXT4. I upgraded mine to ext4 because I usually run aosp anyway, but I have to admit I kind of miss the option of being able to have it on a Sense rom.

EXT4 has better security than the others. However this is only really necessary when on a network using it on the phone is redundant unless you share the phone and have multiple accounts on the phone. Ext4 is faster but in current conditions (Single use) there really is no difference in the speed. The difference shows when your on a network and several drives are being shared and that is where the real speed shows up. For most situations involving the phone Ext3 is sufficient. Ext4 does have better file management than Ext3 which is where some of the "speed" comes from.

The top of this article explains the basic differences between the Linux file systems. I had forgotten about the larger file support of EXT4 over its counterparts. Again still something I don't think we need with the phones or atleast yet
