Hey folks,
first of all, I'm sorry if my following problem has already been discussed elsewhere in this forum, but I wasn't able to locate a thread or post that fits my exact issue as I don't want to mess up another thread with this.
So here is my problem:
I've recentally updated the resurrection remix rom from v1.9.1 to v2.1 on my SGS2. My phone boots up normally and works like a charm. But then I mentioned that both of my music-apps (poweramp and stock-player) are showing every song twice, as there would be file duplicates. So I checked the content of my external sdcard (where I put my music on) with both the stock-file-explorer and ES file explorer and found out, that my external sdcard wasn't mounted in /mnt/sdcard anymore but in /mnt/emmc and when I clicked on the sdcard-icon in the stock-app it only showed me my internal storage. With ES file explorer I can't access my external sdcard at all. I already plugged the sdcard out of the device, rebooted, plugged it back in and rebooted again. But nothing has changed. Further I've taken a look with MyPhoneExplorer and figured out, that the folder /mnt/sdcard doesn't exist anymore (creating it by myself failed) while /mnt/emmc was still there. Long story short, here are the facts:
/mnt/sdcard --> doesn't exist anymore
/mnt/emmc --> shows the content of external sdcard
sdcard-icon in stock-file-explorer --> shows internal storage
ES file explorer --> can't access sdcard at all (maybe I'm too stupid to use it)
music-apps --> show all the files doubled
Please help me, what can I do to get my external sdcard back at /mnt/sdcard and the music-apps to show every file only once?
let's just talk about the mount points first:
on stock roms, the internal sd card is mounted as /sdcard/ and the external sd card is /sdcard/external_sd/
on aosp roms the internal sd card _should_ be mounted as /sdcard/ as well and the external sd _should_ be mounted as /emmc/ (external multi media card).
in recent cm9 builds, suddenly those mount points were reversed, which does not make much sense in my opinion.
with the jump from ressurection 1.9 to 2.1 you might have just hit that switch. have you performed a full wipe before and/or after flashing the new rom? maybe that'll do the trick
on aosp roms the internal sd card _should_ be mounted as /sdcard/ as well and the external sd _should_ be mounted as /emmc/ (external multi media card).

Actually that's the case. But what is mnt-directory good for then, if there already are folder providing the content of internal storage and external sdcards? and just btw. wikipedia says that emmc stands for embedded multimedia card and this was invented to be used as an internal storage, that's confusing me.
have you performed a full wipe before and/or after flashing the new rom?

I followed the installation guide very strictly and performed the wiping and factory resetting before and after the flashing as instructed.
But if the files are where they should be, why is my music indexed twice no matter what I do?
ps: I managed to access my external sdcard with ES file explorer after doing an analyse of the sdcard through the manager-option of ES file explorer.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a solution for the problem, beside waiting for the next version of the rom. But to those of you who may face the same or a similar problem, here's a little workaround:
In poweramp you can define the folders to scan, so just allow it to scan only /emmc/ and the doubled files will disappear. Unfortunately this is not possible for the stock-player. Maybe this is helpful.
i never bothered to look up emmc and just assumed the "e" stood for external.
if it stands for embedded it would actually make sense to switch the mount points.
the fact that one device can be accessed using several paths, e.g. /sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard/ is a linux thing. same thing is present on pcs, servers and embedded systems (video game console, set top boxes, mediaplayers...). the mount point /sdcard/ is for convenience.
the "picking up files twice" issue you have with your music probably comes from some mount problem. but here's an idea:
in any music player, find a song that is present twice in a row, and look at its details. you should be able to find the full filename including the folder structure. then you will know exactly, what causes the duplicates. it might be that your card is mounted in some other folder as well.
other than that, as you said, it might be best to wait for the next rom revision, or get your post count up and post in the development thread directly, where they can probably help you. if that is a general bug of the rom, i guess you are not the first to realize it and people should be working on it as it sounds really annoying.
I have been searching for answers on this and so far found nothing. Sorry if its already been covered somewhere I didn't find.
The SD card is working fine in the pone.
When I put it in a usb adapter to plug into my pc it mounts fine and I can copy files to it without any errors but when I put it back in the phone I cant see the files?
Same thing happens when I plug the phone into a pc with USB and copy the files.
The files are still there because when I plug back into the pc I can see them.
Anyone know why I have this issue please?
Many thanks
Ben
Try unmounting an remounting the sdcard in the Settings menu.
Have you tried other filemanagers than the stock one?
I can't confirm your issue but it sounds like a caching issue.
Have you tried turning it off and on again? =)
I have a similar issue , I have files that I have copied over to the phone sd card and wanted to use a file manager to move them around into different files however none of the file managers seem to see the files

I have tried rebooting the phone and also (after you said) mounting and unmounting the SD card. The Issue remains the same.

If you're connected to PC as MTP mode, try to switch to camera transfer mode..

External and internal sdcard mount points
After some more investigating I have discovered that what is displayed as /sdcard/ is in fact the phones internal flash memory and the actual SD card is mounted as something else.
There you have 2 folders in /mnt
/mnt/sdcard >> taht is the internal flash storage
/mnt/sdextcard >> that is the inserted sd card
http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/detect-SD-Card-path-td5710218.html
This explains why I could see the files i copied to my sd card on my phone as my phone wont enable me to see the actual external SD card.
Was surprised I couldn't find an actual thread about this on the forum.
I can see that creating a mount point for called SDCARD within the internal memory will allow apps that default large content files to use this space without complaining but this means that although Samsung allow SD cards to be inserted they cannot be used with a standard set up?
So is there any way for me to get to this other mount point without root access?
I thought, for a change, I might hold off rooting my phone but this might spur me on...
Afaik Android does not have a concept of "internal" SD card. (Which is the or at least a reason why most phones have a separate data partition)
However when phone manufacturer's started offering internal storage capacity for normal files, they just used the sdcard.
The name of the external sdcard varies from phone to phone and manufacturer.
I can remember that the name of the external sd card on my S1 was /sdcard/external_sd/ (no /mnt as with the S3 !)
On current Cyanogenmod for the S1 it's /mnt/emmc/ which seems to be introduced as some sort of "standard".
This variety in naming shemes and the possibility of a phone not having internal SD-card storage, only having internal SD-card storage or having both _SHOULD_ make app developers give you the option where to store it.
If it doesn't it's a restriction in the app, not the sdcard.
Solution[/b[
If you are rooted you can easily bypass these restrictions with a simple trick. Make sure the app is terminated before attempting this!
Go to the terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcardext/APPFOLDER
cp -rvf /mnt/sdcard/APPFOLDER /mnt/sdcardext/APPFOLDER
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/APPFOLDER /mnt/sdcardext/APPFOLDER
You've now told Android to re-route all filesystem access'es transparently to the external SDcard while the app still believes it's on the internal one.
Note that you'll have to run the following after every boot (or have it run as auto-start) since mount's are not persistant.
Code:
su
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/APPFOLDER /mnt/sdcardext/APPFOLDER
Thank you for the explanation on this d4fseeker. Really all I wanted to do at this time was be able to access the external SD or point to it as a content location. But I will bookmark the solution for forcing apps to use it.
No I know what I know I have rooted my phone, curtesy of Chainfires guide here and can now see the extSDCard directory

In ES file explorer, you can go to your external SDcard by open Menu (left capacitive button), then select Manager and then SD card Analyst.
it will show /sdcard,,, it means internal SDcard. You have to touch "Disks" icon (the second from the left), then select /mnt/extSdCard. Eventually you can browse your external SD.
I don't know if there is the easier way. Or you can use the stock explorer app "My files", it is easier to browse the external card but with less function than 3rd party app.
That does work thanks - Turns out I purchased Root Explorer a while back so I have installed that and set the home directory to be the external SD mount point. Still need ES though for when I am copying across my network

I have quite the same problem but another way around. I can see all the (music)files in the phone but when I connect the phone via USB to my PC I can only see a few (about 30) of the files in the folder. I have booted the PC and the phone, took the SDcard also out and in. Also when I insert the SDCard to the PC's cardreader I can see all the files, so I quess the problem is in the phone. Any ideas how to solve this?
Not sure what your issue is but my advise is to confirm you a definitely looking at what you think you are - that was my problem before.
For example when the Phone is connected to your PC:
Create a text file called phone.txt in the 'Phone' Directory
Create one called card.txt in the 'Card' directory
Then use the built in 'my files' browser or whatever app you use to see if the files are where you think they are.
Might help...

But doesn't this simply relocate 100% of APPFOLDER to the microSD card and still leave no option to have Apps in both flash locations? Or will programs like App 2 SD somehow now be able to relocate apps back to the internal flash partition (aka "internal sdcard")?
Ah, nevermind. "APPFOLDER" is a single application's appfolder, not a directory with all the apps. So this should be something an app could do on any rooted S3 with a nice gui and persistence through some service mod in init.d or whatever Android uses in its place, yes?
Ok, was just digging around in /mnt/sdcard and while a few apps have obvious directories there, most do not. What's more, being an android noob, I'm not sure where their directories would be located (app manager doesn't say either).
Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Also, is there a way to install some other standard linux shell commands like more and grep?
Thanks.

The Nook Tablet has separate partitions which mount automatically as /data/ and /emmc/. IIRC, if you have no SD card installed, it will use /emmc/ as external storage and place all user data there. Newer devices such as the Galaxy Nexus do not have separate partitions, and instead use /data/media/ as external storage by default and place all user data there. I want to configure my Nook to work this way as well. I have already deleted the partition for /emmc/ and expanded the partition for /data/ to fill the empty space.
Does anyone know how to change the mount points so that /data/media/ is used for external storage? Do I just change the storage options in build.prop? Do I have to make new mount points in vold.rc? Do I need to add a symlink in init.d?

Bump, as I was interested in the same thing.
I know for sure that the solution is not that simple, as there is also an emulated SD card in the nexus devices (It was mentioned in an issue about duplicate files), so the configuration for this would be a bit more in depth.
Read the other topics about this issue and you'll see that there is no fully working solution for this yet.
AFAIK there isn't really much effort put into finding one either at this point.
I may have found a potential solution. According to this thread, there is a binary called /system/bin/sdcard that is called by a service to manage the virtual SD card on the Transformer Prime. It mounts /data/media to /mnt/sdcard using a fuse layer to simulate fat32.
I looked in the directory and the program is present in the system (at least in Succulent's CM10), so if anyone wants to try to get it to work, I would greatly appreciate it. I might try it when I get home if I have the time.
Here are a few more possibly helpful links (I will add more as I find more):

I have a LG Optimus L3 II, and since it has less than 2 GB of total ROM, I have bought an external SD card. I have some experience with Linux desktop systems, but not really with Android. On a Linux desktop, if I lack disk space, I can mount /home to the device I want using /etc/fstab, so all my personal files are transparently saved to the specified device.
I have noticed that my user files on the LG Optimus are all saved to /storage/sdcard0. Also, that there is a symlink from /sdcard to /storage/sdcard0.
What I would like to accomplish is to transparently have all my personal files on /storage/external_SD, but I'm not sure if I can just change /sdcard to point to the new location, or if I would need to change mount points somewhere, etc. I have searched on Google about this, but found nothing clear, and it seems this may vary from device to device. Also, I haven't tried anything yet, because I don't really think I would be able to recover if anything goes bad.
Thanks for your attention!

You can't just replace /sdcard to point to a new location, as Android is always expected to run from the internal storage, and this can cause mayhem. Now, the first question you should answer to yourself is what you mean when you say "personal files": if you just need to store songs, pictures, movies etc., you can store them on the external SD without any issues.
However, the main problem with Android in this aspect is the applications (apps and their data). The best thing would be if you could natively install them on the SD. But this is not always possible, since SD cards are usually formatted with non native Linux file systems (such as FAT) ,in order for them to be mounted on Windows, meaning that they lack the infrastructure to run apps from within (like file permissions or symlinks).
Solution here is the following: Format your SD card to be either all or partially of an ext3/4 file system type (so it can at least hold all apps and their data), then install the Link2SD app, which moves the application to this SD partition and creates all links from the internal drive to this partition. The paid version of this app (Link2SD+, which costs $1) allows you to link also the application data to the SD card (not only the app itself). I have used this solution on many low end devices I had in the past (like yours basically), and it solved this issue perfectly.

Thanks for your answer, Digdis! What I'm really looking for is not to have applications installed on the external SD card, since 2GB is more than enough for applications for me. What I really want is to have stuff that generally goes to /storage/sdcard0 in /storage/external_SD, because this is where my personal files and settings goes to. For example, if I download something, no matter what size, or record videos, I would expect them all to go directly to the SD card. I know a few applications, not all, can be directly configured to use the external card, but it would be a rather unintelligent way, unless Google has decided to throw basic Linux design out of the window.
Also, what you are telling me is that applications will fail to run if Android/data/ is on an external SD card? Because if I just install applications on SD card, it won't really solve my problem, because I have few applications installed, but data on /storage/sdcard0 tends to grow a lot.

OK understood. First of all 2GB seems a bit low for both ROM and apps, but if you say it works for you...
Now, regarding automatic download of pics etc. to SD. You can try Xposed module Downloads2SD . Didn't try it, but you can give it a try.
You can actually do that by telling the system to mount them differently but LG handles that by initiation not fstab. I can try and help you.
Didn't explain it very well. Mount the External SD as sdcard0 and sdcard0 as External_sd so the phone will safe on sdcard0 which we just made the external_SD. There can be problems with pictures recognition or music stuff like that but it should work.
Thanks a lot, @Digdis, I'll keep everything you said for reference.
@christi9503 OK, please, let's try it!

Search around the forum a guy around ported all from what I know. Anyway install one of the recoveries to get ready.
What I want you to do now is this:
Check in storage path (with a root explorer) what folder you have like sdcard0, external_sd etc. Tell me all and what is the address (where it links)
EX: sdcard0 -> internal storage.
Also go in system/etc/ and copy me with a root explorer to sd card and then upload it on forums this file : init.qcom.post_boot.sh

Installing will probably take me some time, because Android is refusing to install anything now saying I don't have enough free space (although I have 199MB, but maybe it thinks is too little). The information you have requested I have already:
There is /sdcard/, which is just a symlink to /storage/sdcard0/.
/storage/sdcard0, which is the internal memory, is mounted like:
Code:
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
And there is also /storage/external_SD/, which is mounted like:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/external_SD vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

This is why I urged you to start moving apps to the SD card. Android will refuse to install anything on your internal memory unless you have at least 10% free space.

I think it swapped, but now many applications are crashing or failing to open files. I copied all files from sdcard0 to external_SD and rebooted, but it still doesn't seem to help. Maybe I should have formatted the external SD to ext*?

Nope you do not need to format it in order to work. Just make a clean install and use this swap. Maybe you copied them wrong. If the swap worked all is fine my friend.
