What are the mount locations for both the internal and external storage locations.
For example, the internal may be mounted to /sdcard/
I'm not sure what the external would be mounted to on this device.
Thanks

internal is /sdcard
external is /sdcard-ext

As I was rooting my device, I realized the external microSD card is not the /sdcard and is actually /sdcard2 or /sdcard/ext_sd. I haven't pulled my microSD card to check, but I'm willing to bet its probably blank.
I'd like to have all data saved to my external microSD card versus the internal partitioned memory. Is that possible?
I'm not very familiar with linux. Is it as simple as modifying the vold.fstab so that microsd card is mounted as sdcard? And the internal memory is mounted as /int_sd? Obviously, I'd have to copy all the data from the current /sdcard to /sdcard2 for things to work properly after the edit.
Thanks in advance!
Upon USB connection/Mass Storage Mode only the internal memory of my device (i9001) gets detected, i.e the memory card doesn't get 'mounted' to the PC. (unlike in other non-CM9 ROMs) Does anyone here know about a way of how to mount the internal and external cards in a way other Rom do it? That means: Internal SD card = /sdcard and external SD card = /sdcard/External_SD.
At present emmc = Internal Storage(Internal SD) and sdcard = Memory Card. I tried "mount -o bind /emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/" in terminal but it only maps the Memory Card temporarily to the "external_SD" directory, doesn't still get mounted when using mass storage.
Had same issue once, solved it by re-installing the driver on PC..

Try the application: RemountSD
Try App called :
"ICS SD Binder"
Was having the same issue. Been looking after a solution for hours. ICS SD Binder is really recommended! Thanks!
Hello,
On the Galaxy S III, /sdcard is the internal storage, and the microSD card is located in /mnt/extSdCard.
I want the SD card to be mounted in /sdcard and the internal storage in /intmemory for example. Is it possible ?

I believe this can be done by using custom ROM
It can be done only if rooted but the issue with permission. You wont be able to give (execute read write ) permission to ext sd card.
So nobody's working on it ?
I am a bit confused as to how memory/SD/external_sd is defined on this device
Looking at root, I see mnt. IIRC, this is the mounting point for both the internal SD card and the external SD card.
when I plug my phone into my computer I see Internal Storage and Card.
So I have
A: 1GB RAM for OS (/system, /data, etc)
B: 16GB RAM for apps etc.
C: 16GB RAM external SD
I connected my computer to my phone and see two "folders" Internal Storage and SD Card. I put folders with those names in each one so when I open them up on my computer I see a folder called "..internal storage root" and one called .".sd card root"
Internal Storage 10GB B Same a 1) below
SD Card 14.8GB same as 3) below
SD Card/external_sd
From the phone in root explorer
1) /sdcard takes me to the internal storage root 10GB. I imagine that is (B) after the OS reserves 4GB
2) /mnt/sdcard which actually takes me to the internal storage root 10GB. (B?) Same as 1
3) /mnt /external_sd takes me to the SD card root but this is NOT my SD card.
4) /mnt /external_sd /external_sd takes me to SD card, (C)
I also see /storage which has sdcard0 and sdcard1. sdcard0 takes me to the internal storage root. sdcard1 takes me to the sd card root.. However this not my actual SD card.
Now.. without an SD card, sdcard1 is empty and external_sd is empty
,
My question: why, when I put my SD card in, does it show it as having something in it that is not actually on my card?
Sadly, the way android is currently setup... makes me want to throw my phone at someone... literally! I would gladly spend my time in jail for doing it as well! (as long as said person was the one who decided upon doing it this way)
Currently, on the Galaxy Note (and almost all other devices) you have the following:
Out of the internal memory space (which turns out to be about 14.8Gb after base10 or was that base 12... whatever, IDGAF, point is, its not 16GB usable):
2GB: Application and Application Data storage
10GB: Internal Memory on the device mounted as /sdcard* ([email protected]#!$!#@%^#)
And whatever your REAL sdcard is mounted as /external_sd
* /storage/sdcard0 is internal | /storage/sdcard1 is external
calling the internal memory of ANY device an sdcard annoys the piss outta me, as noted above
EDIT: if you have a rom with it included, you can use parted | print to view the partition layout as well as mount points and all that other happy horse carp
This gonna sound kind of odd, but with copying stuff over from my S3 and using the crappy mtp to get stuff on the device I'm no longer sure.
Which patch is the 'true' internal sdcard?
Is is the SD card in the root folder or the mnt/sdcard?
The real mount point is /mnt/sdcard and there is a symbolic link at /sdcard. It's basically two ways of getting to the same thing, but when your internal sdcard is mounted it uses the /mnt/sdcard path.
