Is there a way to partition the SD card so that it is not split into SDcard1 and SDcard2?
No. SDcard1 is the internal and SDcard2 is your real SD card. We can't combine them (yet atleast)
Who's gonna be first to get LVM running under Android?
(I should add: other than the HP Touchpad)

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!
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
hi there, i'm new member. i've just used Dell steak pro- rom cook 2.3.6, it's rooted
there 3 memories: internal, sd card, external_sd
one day, i want to enlarge my sdcard and bought a new 16gb sd card but its name's external_sd and when sd is full i must copy data from sd to external, how can i use the external card as sd card and ignore the former one. the following text is from vold.fstab please help me to solve it
thanks in advanced

Hi there,
does Android allow to divide an external sd card into several partitions?
I´d like to get a bigger sd card and create at least 2 partitions on it. One unencrypted for easy access and one encrypted with dm-crypt to have a secure storage.
Is this possible? Would this then give me /storage/sdcard1 and /storage/sdcard2 and so on?
Can you manually change /etc/fstab on Android?
I have a 16 gb sd card. I am trying to partition as ext4 but my pc haven't a sd card reader slot. Can i partition as ext4 on my phone?
