Checking Your Device

eighthave edited this page Jul 13, 2011 · 4 revisions

Lildebi requires that your phone supports the ext2 filesystem. To check if your device supports the ext2 filesystem, you need to run a command from the terminal or adb shell. To get the list of supported filesystems on your device, run this on either adb shell or a Terminal app on your device:

 cat /proc/filesystems

Here's a HTC MyTouch 3G T-Mobile running Android 2.2.1 which does support ext2 and ext3:

$  cat /proc/filesystems
nodev	sysfs
nodev	rootfs
nodev	bdev
nodev	proc
nodev	cgroup
nodev	tmpfs
nodev	debugfs
nodev	sockfs
nodev	pipefs
nodev	anon_inodefs
nodev	inotifyfs
nodev	devpts
	ext3
	ext2
nodev	ramfs
	vfat
	yaffs
	yaffs2

Here's the output from a Motorola Droid Verizon running Android 2.2 FRG83G, which does not support ext2 by default (after modprobe ext2 it does):

 $  cat /proc/filesystems
 nodev	sysfs
 nodev	rootfs
 nodev	bdev
 nodev	proc
 nodev	cgroup
 nodev	tmpfs
 nodev	binfmt_misc
 nodev	debugfs
 nodev	sockfs
 nodev	usbfs
 nodev	pipefs
 nodev	anon_inodefs
 nodev	inotifyfs
 nodev	devpts
 nodev	ramfs
 	vfat
 	msdos
 	yaffs
 	yaffs2
