1st off all. Why would you format your external SD card to F2FS. F2FS is only used for partitions like system/data(aka internal storage) and cache. There's no need to format your SD card to F2FS, all you can do now is format is back to FAT32 or exFAT (since that's what most SD card uses) and you should be able to use your SD card back.
Hit Thanks if this help you

You done something WRONG. You have partitioned your SD. In what format they are(partitions)and how big is your SD?
CHEERS!
I am using 4GB Card..
First Partion is for FAT32 say ~3.5 BG
Second Partition is for ext4 ~.5 GB..
I also tried other way around..means First ext4 and then FAT32..

OK, but you spelled little wrong(3.5gb and 5gb=8.5gb). Not matters. Try to make NOT ext4, but ext2. And but them both like PRIMARY PARTITIONS.
CHEERS!

.. Dude just reverse the partition order... first fat then ext... worked for me as windows does not recognise ext and may be if you have partitioned ext4 and your current rom does not support it (or mount it) it would say damaged SD.

What rom are you on? I believe that's the first thing that matters.

can't partition SD card to ext file system

I want to create a ext partition on my SD card using GParted. But when I do this GParted will not finish the operation. I wait one or two hours and nothing happens. When I create a FAT32 partition it's no problem. With FAT32 everthing works(read, write). With CWM I also create a ext partition but CWM only create a FAT32 partition and instead of a ext partition there is a non-partitioned area. Did my Legend distroy the SD card? I don't understand it because I can use a FAT32 partition. Need help
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english!

Use cwm instead to do the partitioning. But be sure to backup ALL contents of your sdcard as it will be completely wiped/formated.

Do you mean partitioning with cwm? I did this but it don't worked. Now I have an other trouble, too. I can't create a 2nd partition on my sd card :crying: I need this partition for my apps. Is there any way to "repair" my sd card or I have to buy a new one?

Since rooting my Legend, I have used up about 4 SD cards. They will work in other devices (DSi, other phones), but not in my Legend. My Legend just refuses to recognize them. So, to spare yourself a lot of hassle, you can try once more to, in recovery mode, format the card by using CWM (first make a backup of your card of course), then partition (create an EXT partition) also by using CWM.
If things do not work out, by a new SD card. That is what I did.
Edit: I just remembered: if your card has an ext partition and you try to create another ext partition, you will end up with two ext partitions. And my Legend wasn't too happy with that, after each reboot all my widgets were gone...

I have tried to format to ext4, CM12 can mount it, but also can't move app to SD, Link2SD's "Link to SD" function need to partition the SD card to 2 partitions, but I don't want to do this.

Many people would recommend "exFAT" file system, also some would recommend "FAT32" but due to the limitation of the file size, i won't recommend it, "EXT4" is good, but may not be a good choice for SDcard if you wanted to view the files on the PC using a "SDcard reader" one day, your sdcard then would be limited to read only, so you have 2 options:
1-format it as "exFAT"
2-just put it in the phone, Reformat the SD card with your phone Settings --> Storage/Storage & USB The file system on the freshly formatted SD card is the type that will give you the best performance with your phone.... in other words....(let the phone choose)

As i told you, Individual files on a FAT32 drive can’t be over 4 GB in size, but in exFAT it has no limitations, if it worked good for you in phone or pc then it's fine, if you faced any problems reformat it to FAT32.
