ext2 for the data.img only. i want linux to create the data.img inside the ext2 partition. i know the data.img is usually created and locate it in the anboot folder. i want the data.img to be locate it inside the ext2 partition.

i dont know if i making any sense.

thanks man

The whole point of having an EXT2 partition is so that you're not storing all of the data files in a loop mounted file, but storing them natively on the partition of the card. All you are going to get is added complexity if you require a partition but you're still using a data.img inside that new partition.
