ext3 is not supported in the tablet

[Noemí]

SD cards in ext3 format should be supported in tablets

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is there any workaround available for getting SD card to work with ext3 fs?

This causes significant issues as many users normally install multiple "legacy apps" and /userdata has limited space.
It would be nice to be able to copy / move rootfs' from containers to SD-card. This will not work currently as VFAT does not support file flags, rwx.

Today it is possible to mount the SD card via the mount command. However, afaik to do so automatically one must manually change the root fs, which is discouraged.

I personally mount my SD card with ext4 fs using an edited /etc/rc.local and have not experienced any problems yet. However, I might not have realized them or they might appear with an touch update.

And not all apps support this manually mounted location, however I could convince the gallery app to show pictures using a symbolic link.

So to me the best solution seems to hope for a change in ciborium.

I just want to add that it is the same for ext4 and ext2
