It sounds like when you were messing with settings and partition tweaks, you may have accidentally formatted the 2nd partition perhaps to linuxswap.
This is why you are getting all the output to commands and queries as busy or doesn't exist.
I have had 2 encounters with this, once was caused by something unknown and the other time I accidentally reformatted it using swapper2.
I think that the only solution is to reformat the partitions. Sucky, yes. But I believe that it is the only way to fix this.

Please chime in, if anyone agrees or disagrees. Or, just wants to give a yea yo!

Hopefully this will work and all will be right in this world, meaning all will be continuing to fall to pieces around us.

I'd suggest minitool partition wizard on your PC to make and manage sdcard partitions...much more extensive than using rom manager and clockwork recovery

Agreed. Minitool partition wizard is the best .

Thanks for the tip DWB,

My question is, when this happened to you, did you use parted to look at the partition table? If you did, did it continue to list mmcblk0p2 as being formatted as ext4?

To be honest, I'd wipe and give the latest version of MIUI a try(something I've been wanting to do anyway) and restore my last titanium backup, before I'd want to completely format my SD again.

Edit: I went ahead and did exactly that - MIUI setup and configured now, and link2sd is working. This means the partition itself had nothing wrong - something was borked with my install.

Thanks again for all the support, Prime. We didn't get to a solution, but I've learned a lot in the process.

I actually used Parted from the command line to setup my partitions - I much prefer being able to choose exact sizes as well as where the partition starts and ends down to the byte. I tried using rom manager the first time and the results were pretty bad - I did it manually after that, and was successful for several months before this issue reared its ugly head.

btw deprimed *edit: PRIME :) a long time ago I fussed about compcache swapiness being set to 7 not 30 and insisted on 30...I have since come around to your side of things. 30 makes it swap too much stuff out and burns CPU and makes the UI a tad laggy...I think I am going to try stock 7 again....

Nice to know that it all works.
I wonder if, since it is seemingly fixed, you tried to get it running correctly on the ROM you were initially having problems with, would it now work?
If you ever give it a go, I would love to know any results.

Prime is busy with many things in his personal life at the moment and doesn't have time to really work on an update just yet. Despite being so busy he still drops in from time to time to help with any issues someone might be having

+1 thanks mate

I am fully moved, got internet installed, step three is a development machine. Money is a little tight but I'm hoping on black Friday I will be able to net an adequate machine. I currently have a netbook and a zino hd...nothing to develop on.

If anyone has a machine they could let go of as a donation I would gladly pay shipping.

Dual core is a must as my development environment is 64bit.
