use ext2 instead of ext3 (pretty much the same without the darn Journal >¦-)
Method 2 should give you a crash intro...
put a swap partition on your MCSD and
where X is most likely 2, but ... the sky is pretty much the limit there 
EDIT: the swapon above is only to activate the partition; you will need to create the partition 1st with fdisk (type 82)... obviously, as in Method 2 above you will have to delete all partitions on the MCSD in order to make room for the extra SWAP one
EDIT2: (added code)
with the swapoff mmcblk0p3 you will spare your build-in flash

Well, this is a quite ancient thread...
Swap is essential for a proper function of the device, there is no mentioning on this forum anywhere about removing swap. I highly doubt it would start at all without a swap partition or file.
Do not remove it, but you may think about moving for the resizing of the other partitions, or having your swap on the external card. Here are two threads where swapping methods are discussed http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...highlight=swap
