Root Titanium Backup reporting incorrect ext partition size?

Earlier today I flashed this rom and all appears to be fine, other that Titanium Backup is reporting my ext partition incorrectly. The partition is actually 512mb but is being shown as identical to my phone's internal memory. It's never been a problem with other roms.

[ROM][New Sense HD][19 Dec]Z v0.5 - Core Internal Install A2SD+ Super fast! - Page 103 - xda-developers

I'm sure I've seen the problem mentioned somewhere but I haven't found a fix. Any ideas?

I guessing it worked with other roms, try removing the card, power on, leave everything boot completely, switch off and re-insert your card. Sounds like a simple type glitch to me.
 
Thanks for the suggestion but it wouldn't boot without the SD card in place, some of the required files must be on the SD. I suppose I could try using Gparted to create a new bigger ext partition and re flash the rom.
 
OK I'll try that, cheers.

Can someone remind me please, if I need to go down the Gparted route (I might do it anyway), do I create the FAT partition first or the Ext? And it is FAT32?
 
Quick system info shows the correct size, odd that Titanium doesn't with this rom.

You can do it via rom manager if you have it. In Gparted create the ext3 first, I assumed you already had a properly formatted card!
 
I'm having all sorts of fun here, I partitioned my SD card with Gparted (done it twice now), but I can't get the ROM onto it. Windows wants to format the card if I plug it in via usb mount or card reader, it shows then smaller partition which I have as ext 3, then it displays 'cannot format'.

If I try and format via recovery, I get this error message.

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

Is the card knackered? :confused:
 
Are you formatting from scratch or resizing. As all the data is already wiped, unmount and delete all partitions, then create your ext3 and fat32. I suspect your not deleting old partitions before creating new ones!

sorry thats incorrect
the primary partition MUST be the larger fat32 partition then the ext or the rom/recovery cannot mount /sdcard

That did the trick thank you!

Although I now have a larger ext partition, Titanium Backup still shows it as the same size as the phone's internal memory. A bit annoying. :eek:
