[Q] Unmounting SD Card - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I have the NT, 1.4.1, sideloaded prior to firmware update (but not rooted or anything else). I like to put my movies on the microSD card to play on the NT, but every time I remove the card from the NT to add movies with my computer, the NT says I should unmount first. Problem is that I cannot find any way to unmount before removing. Is there something I need to do?

Unmount SDCard from Nook: Settings -> Device Info -> SD Card -> Unmount SD Card -> Remove SD Card from nook.

Another SD question(s).

I currently have a 2G miniSD card residing in my device. Its contents (a few albums worth of mp3's and an AVI) are found by file explorers and my media players variously play and don't play them as I've come to expect. Anyhoo, the card is there.
So I go to the "settings" menu to unmount the card before removing it, then to "SD card and device storage." There I see no mention of SD2 or microSD as I expected, just the plain SD card. Do I need to unmount the microSD before removal and if so where/how do I do that?
Secondarily, "on the SD card and device storage," there's a menu entry reading "Unmount in Progress." Is that a command I'm meant to invoke when necessary or is there unmounting going on? It seems to refer to the SD card. Why should I ever need to unmount that?

[Q] Mount only external SD (for car headunit)

Since the sgs2 will usb mount as two sd cards, is there any way to mount ONLY the external sd card? (as that's where I plan to put the music files)
I tried the "multi mount SD" app - it had the right intention but unfortunately doesn't work, since even though it is not mounted the internal sd is still being read (like a card reader without a card in it)
so the headunit at the moment can only see the internal sd...
also found a "usb sharer" app which can limit what files to mount but it FCs and won't even start in sgs2
any ideas anyone?
Not to necro a post but this kindof helped me out and I would like to answer for anyone else who had similar issues.
I found my SD kept mounting two drives when I only wanted my external SD card mounted so I downloaded "Multi Mount SD-Card" (trial) from the market and it worked for me by changing "what SD card mounts" to "card two" in the settings.
FYI it requires root access.

no external storage

Flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446
I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard

No longer auto mount SD card

Lately my phone has stopped mounting the SD storage when I reboot. I now have to manually mount the SD card via settings which is a pain as most apps I have moved to this storage and appears disabled unless I mount.
Just to make it clear this is the external micro sd card I'm referring not the USB storage or the internal storage.
Any ideas why this would suddenly be happening? Could my SD Card be slowly dying?
I'm on 4.1.2 for sometime now.

[Q] Hypderdrive ROM on MI1 has "Renamed" SD Card

I've installed Hyperdrive via SafeStrap today. It seems that when you create that Rom Partition, the OS seems to have been configured so that "SD Card" is actually internal device storage and in order to actually get to the External SD Card I you have to go to Root -> Storage -> ExtSDCard directory.
Also, when I plug it in to the computer, all I can see is the External SD card and this new "fake" SD Card partition in the computer. I can't even get to the Root of the phone.
The problem is things like Pictures and some applications only allow you to choose "Device" or "SD Card" for storage and no matter what you choose it's going to the same place and this virtual SD Card Partition is almost out of space!
Help!
Any help?

That's the way the Stock ROM works - /mnt/sdcard is the internal storage, /mnt/extSdCard is the external storage.
You can't mount the root because it's a Linux EXT4 filesystem. Windows doesn't understand it. Again, that's normal behavior.
My pictures, music, Ti Backup files, etc. are stored on my external SD card, so it's quite possible to do that.
