So I have damage control that allows it, and I'm actually running out of space...i've used up 83% of the fones storage and I would like to be able to do this... so does anyone know???

im looking into this as well, i am an admitted appaholic so this would be great--from what i understand if you do this you will not be able to remove the sd card---someone verify this for me. i'll do some digging around and post a "how to" link if i find it, or maybe someone will beat me to it.

short and sweet is you need to have the partition on your sd card. then reflash your rom
and that should be about it

Reboot into recovery and choose to format your microSD card, choose the ext2 partition size, then convert from ext2 to ext3, reboot and depending on the ROM, a2sd should automatically start working. If not, fire up ADB shell and type a2sd install.

NOTE: Back up your microSD card prior to formatting.

Awesome, you may have to use the following commands to have your apps automatically moved to the ext3 partition from your phone:

a2sd repair
a2sd install

However, you should perform the

a2sd check

command to see if everything is working properly.

Here is the original thread on XDA explaining what a2sd is, how it works, and how to configure it.

HELP!
I formatted my new 16gb SD Card but cant figure out how to convert ext2 to ext3. I am running fresh .3 and am not finding the option to do this anywhere in the recovery menus. Now when I reboot it just keeps restarting at the Fresh flash screen

What recovery are you using? It should be under the partition section depending on recovery....
