when u select to mount as usb storage, from recovery or whatever, it mounts only the /sdcard partition. anyway to mount the sdext also?
Currently when you plug in the S3 it mounts the internal sd partition /sdcard is it possible to change it to mount / ?
Cheers.
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 have a question.
Does our Nook support mount multiple vfat partition on external SDCard?
You can mount a different SD partition by editing the vold.fstab file.
Hi,
In CWM recovery and almost in all custom recovery's, you can mount the storage.
But, the only storage I could mount and copy files to computer was USB storage.
What about all the others???
When I click on them it changes to "mounts ****", but nothing happens.
How can I mount efs and then copy files?
tnx!
