On a modified boot image for Acer Liquid e froyo: //android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/317685/apps2sd-on-froyo/, the ext of my 16Gb class 2 sd is getting mounted on boot, however when I place my 8Gb class 6 sd, its ext does not mount on boot.
Mind you, They were formatted the same way, and same way they can be reached: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0
I had to prove the 8Gb sd by manually mounting it and it mounted, but just not on boot.

Right this desire is starting to become a problem child to say the least -_-, installed gingerburst 1.0.0.3 pre rooted and S-OFF and suddenly it wont mount my sd card itll mount my 8gb one but not my 16gb one and i need the 16gb one. tried reformatting it in recovery and mounting it via tht but i dno if i did it wrong or something. need the sd card partitioned for data2sd so partition sizes and names and info wud be good, thx
in recorvery it also says under mounts and storage tht "mount /sdcard" so it doesnt mount it auto. i tried mounting it then rebooting but wont mount again. i found under advanced in recovery it has partition sd card i formated it n now ive partitioned it using this method biggest vales ext 4096mb so 4gb and w.e the highest one for the other one was. basicly i want this sd card to be partitioned for data2sd to work good desire has very low internal memory and gingerburst is the best sense rom i found
fixed: i re partitioned it in recovery under advanced after formatting it within recovery in mounts and storage then clicked mount within mounts of storage on the sd card then rebooted. need details for partitioning it now
on my sd card it has a linux swap file a fat32partition n an ext2 partition what partition has data2sd got to be? ext 4 3 2 1?
for sdcard u normally have vfat(fat32) filesystem, when using it as data also (data2sd) you should add any ext partition I would recommend ext4 however some roms might not support that (should be very old roms) so you can make it with ext3.
you can use Gparted or MiniTool Partition Wizard to repartition the sdcard. you can check what filesystem is your data partition using 'mount'.
note that you should have some vfat partition left if you want to use it as a normal sdcard.
On my Archos 101IT I formatted the (removable) SD card as ext3. This was required for TitaniumBackup. When UrukDroid is booted, it mounts the file system as:
/dev/block/vold/179:17 on /mnt/storage/sdcard type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,fmode=0 666,dmode=0777,errors=continue,data=ordered)
I do not want the fmode/dmode since these make it impossible to protect files on the storage (again, as required by TitaniumBackup).
Where can I change what to have this file system mounted with the right options on reboot?
ANSWER:
Urukdroid has a special script, /system/bin/mount_sdcard.sh, that mounts the SD card upon boot. This script understands (V)FAT and EXT4. Anything else is left to the vold automounter. Archos modded vold so it could do a bit more than stock A 2.1 vold, e.g., mount EXT3 file systems.
I upgraded the file system on the SD card to EXT4, and now mount_sdcard.sh mounts the SD card upon boot with the correct mount options.
Thanks to $aur0n for helping me solve this.
Upgrading an EXT2 or EXT3 file system to EXT4 is easy, see https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 .
Hi,
i just confused about the partitions table and the system mount points.
mmcblk0p11 (UMS) is the internal SD card.
so why the android system mount the internal SD card as
/dev/block/vold/259:3 on /mnt/sdcard
and not like this
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 on /mnt/sdcard
maybe i'm wrong and mmcblk0p11 isn't the internal SD card?
thanks.
which rom are you using, some of 4.0.3 and higher roms have reversed the mounting points so internal reads as external in the partition table.

To be clear, why all the partitions (except Internal/External SD) like SYSTEMFS (/system), CAHCE (/cache)... is mounted from /dev/block/mmcbkl0pX
but the Internal/External SD is mounted from /dev/block/vold/....
there must be a reason that prevent the system to mount it from:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 - Internal
/dev/block/mmcblk1pX - External
My question is what is the reason?
So ran out of storage in /data partition, decided to create 2 partitions in my external SD and i created it using Gparted, one is ext4 and the other is fat32, now the phone refuses to mount the ext4 partition from Link2SD.
Looking at the vold.fstab file and sysfs paths(/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0) , it seems that our phone can mount only 2 (+1 otg) partitions ? (or is it just 2 sd cards ?)
is it even possible to mount the second partiton ?? (No /devices/platform/msm_sdcc )
I do know of the EMMC method, i don't like it ;p
A block for the second partiton is present in /dev/block,(mmcblk1p2) gonna mount and see what happens

hi, gowtham121
ROOT your phone first,
create 2 partitions as fat32 on sdcard
its work on my chd:fingers-crossed:
I have a 16 gb sd card. I am trying to partition as ext4 but my pc haven't a sd card reader slot. Can i partition as ext4 on my phone?
