Hi, I´m trying to configure my new sdcard (sandisk 32gb cl4) but everytime I try to create the ext2 partition on my ubuntu i get this error

Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

And if I try to create the partition with the amonra recovery it says the partition was created but it wasn´t

and update ext2 to ext3 or ext3 to ext4 tells me to use "adb fs ext3(or 4)"

I don´t know what to do to get it working, my 2gb and 8gb sd card work pretty well with both methods listed above.

thx
