I'm considering a flyer to replace my galaxy tab (the original gt-p1000 with 16GB storage).
The galaxy tab has basically the following layout :
2 GB approb -> mounted as /data
13 GB approx -> mounted as /sdcard
& the rest as the various /dbdata /system & cache partitions.
How are the partitions set up in the case of the flyer ? Is it similar to the tab ?
I'm ok with the layout of the tab although I would've preferred the sizes of the /data & /sdcard to be flipped so that I didn't need to bother about ever running out of space when installing large games & apps.
Also, once you upgrade to honeycomb, is the partition layout changed ? I've read that honeycomb changed the way you could access the internal storage. I'll be accessing the tab mostly in windows which had mtp drivers built in.
Anyone used the flyer with linux ? Any problems / points to consider ?
Thanks

can someone just use adb & let me know the output ?
Code:
adb shell df >> /sdcard/partitions.txt
adb pull /sdcard/partitions.txt
OR
Code:
adb shell mount >> /sdcard/partitions.txt
adb pull /sdcard/partitions.txt

How the partitions are set up on leedroid's hc rom... Hth.
Thank You
I'm guessing this is the 32GB flyer. Thank you so much.
Nah, it's a 16 gb flyer with a 16gb micro sd card

So I managed to figure out that I might be able to take advantage of otherwise useless partitions such as /preinstall. Our Droid x2, unlike other devices (as far as I'm aware), has three mount locations for usb_mass_storage, meaning that potentially we could mount, yep you got it, three drives in Windows/Ubuntu/whatever.
This is through the folder location linking called lun. I've been trying to figure it out, and I actually was able to mount /preinstall in place of /sdcard-ext, but for some reason I can't get anything to mount on the third location (lun2), obviously Motorola probably disabled it, but how do I enable it/mount something.? I discovered that the format for mounting has to be "/dev/block/vold/179:##"
## being in place of the partition number you want to mount.
I did chmod and chown to 0000 as shown in init.rc (which sets /sdcard and /sdcard-ext to 0000).
Maybe someone more experienced than me might be able to shed some light on this? I feel like I'm really close.. haha.

Could this be the RSD mount? No clue, but good luck
I tried this on other phones and did not have luck either. Same situation. My conclusion was that they will have to be mounted via traditional Linux mounting commands. You could make an init.d script to unmount what mounts on kernel boot and remount the extra locations in your location of choice. I think vold is mainly setup for only 2 mmc spots, and any extra has been hard disabled. You could take this idea one step further and write a small app to handle the mounting. Down side is you wouldn't be able to access through a Windows GUI without extra work. ADB would still work, obviously.

My phone memory is already ext4. I have also created an SD Partition using CWM. This was working on KPH Coderom.v2x-2b. How can I fix this?
Did you allow root access when superuser prompted?
Yes but looks like. The rom doesn't have a2sd preinstalled. So I installed it.

Then enabled it using A2SDGui. My Ext Partition is 2GB but A2SDGui only sees 24MB :|
I guess you can try to format your card again in ext3 format and try again.

what have you do?
Hi there,
after your first post (Exiting message of a2sdgui), you dont talk about the solution to this probleme, so after you talk about problems in the a2sdgui determination of the ext3 space.
please i have the same message : Exiting A2SDGUI
- my DHD is rooted and S-OFF , and my ROM is [ACE]Virtuous Affinity 1.48.0 Sense 3.5 based on Runnymede, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346474
- I create my ext3 with Clockwordmod recovery v5.0.2.0 , i choose 1024mo
- aand for scripts , i flashed my rom with dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta02-signed
so please where is the matter !!!?
I am looking at my Galaxy S2 files with the app "WiFi File Transfer" (which is great if anyone doesn't know about it... but that's for another thread). There's sdcard and external_sd and there is mnt/sdcard. What the heck is mnt? I feel like I am going in circles.
Thanks for any clarification.
I believe it stands for mount. Linux term maybe? The technical path of the SD card on your phone is
/mnt/sdcard/
See the top of this screen shot of me looking at the "root" of my internal SD card.

Thanks, quarlow. While moving a file and not knowing what I was doing, somehow I put a file on mnt/sdcard/external_sd. So confusing. I guess all I really need to know right now is that the root of my card is mnt/sdcard and I thank you for that.
I'm pretty sure the sdcard folder you see at root (/) of the phone (/sdcard) is a 'junction point' type of folder to (/mnt/sdcard) the 'root' of the sdcard, at least as far as most computers see.
Similar to the 'Documents and Settings' folder on Windows 7. It doesn't exist except as a direction folder to 'Users' so older programs properly install to the new location for My Documents.
If you want to test it out, put a new file into /mnt/sdcard and then go to /sdcard and see it there.

Hi!
I've scorched the net and XDA for an answer to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and recently bought a no-name 64 GB SDXC card to replace my 32 GB, but I can't get it working properly.
I can transfer files to the card both via a micro SD adapter and the USB contact plugged to the computer. The SGS2 detects it, but the folders and files in them are corrupted by the phone. After some GBs, all folders are empty and folder names format like this:
"Dave Gahan" > "µAVEGA~1" (spaces in original folder name)
"Depeche Mode" > "µEPECH~1" (spaces in original folder name)
"Delerium" > "µELERIUM"
Haujobb > "µAUJOBB"
Accept > "µCCEPT".
Here's a screenshot from X-plore:

}
If I put the SDXC back in the computer, the folders are like in the phone (corrupted).
I've never had this issue with the 32 GB card and right now it's working perfectly having the exact same files as the 64 GB on it.
I'm running stock ROM with Speedmod kernel 4.1.2. The 64 GB is formatted to FAT32 with 32 kb cluster size and there are no files over 4 GB.
Is there a way to solve this or is my 64 GB SDXC broken?
Thanks.

Hi
I have two old LGG2Minis. One with LineageOS and the other with stock Android 5.0.2. I thought that I would throw something else on the other one too.
I wanted to open bootloader by copying the aboot.bin file (as the is the easiest way to do this in this device). So I copied it into the internal memory, I entered the command in the Terminal Emulator and got the info 'no such file or directory'. OK, I could have have made a mistake in a command. I carefully typed again and the result was the same. I tried to get into the /sdcard directory with cd command and the message still 'no such file ..'
I went to ES Explorer and what I'm seeing in /mnt is that I do not have a /sdcard directory there, just something with that name with an icon looking like a file icon. I checked in the Total Commander and I have the /sdcard FOLDER in /mnt, I can get inside, add folders and what not. I thought that since with TC it is ok maybe this is an app permission problem so I installed Termux - the result as in the Terminal Emulator.

I don't have any other issues with internal memory. Phone works fine. I can save photos in internal memory (external SD card too). I don't get messages from apps or errors other than those I'm writing about. Finally I copied aboot.bin from another directory, twrp.img as well. In the File Manager in TWRP I have emmc with what's in the /sdcard directory.
I think that storage/emulated/legacy should be a hint for me, but I don't have the knowledge to use this hint. So my questions are - what happened? How to change that?
