I followed the steps here to add an EXT4 partition on my 8gb sd card: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/properly-partition-sd-card-for-app2sd-android-roms/

Now I have 6.xGB FAT32 as the primary partition, and a 1GB EXT4 logical partition. But my Samsung Galaxy Ace (running on CyanogenMod-7.2.0-C1-cooper, official nightly build) doesn't recognize the sd card anymore.

Please help. Thanks.

Update: I gave up and reformatted it back to a single FAT32 partition, copied my backup into the sd card, now the apps don't get recognized. Please, please help me. :(

If your phone is rooted and got ClockworkMod installed, then try formatting and creating an EXT partition in ClockworkMod. Its the most simplest and easiest way to do it. It will automatically take care of your Fat partition too.

Minitool Partition Magic did not work for me. Instead, I formatted and partitioned the card directly through adb in CWM recovery using this guide on xda-developers forums. Am using Link2SD (similar to App2SD) fine now on CM 11 KitKat 4.4.2

I had the same problem and I found a solution for another SD card
Partion the SD card using minitool to one FAT32 + one EXT2 Make them primary and non-active

Works on Samsung Ace duos GT S6821, Huawei Y625-U32 and some Sony device

I had the same problem. Use minitool partition magic and set your card partition to primary partition. Apply changes and that's it.
