Yeasterday I finally flashed CM9 and so far I love it but I have a rather annoying problem: I can't mount and access SD card from file managers. On the other hand, apps that use SD card (PowerAmp, Titanium backup, Apollo, Gallery etc.) read data without a hitch.
Right now, the only way to access the SD card's files is to take it out my phone and put in computer...
Please help...
Edit: does it have something to do with the fact I replaced CM9 kernel with Siyah 3.3.1.?

on aosp roms, the external sd card is mounted as /emmc/ and not /sdcard/external_sd/ which is why that folder might appear empty in file explorers

Best you could probably do is Symlink it. But that has its own set of problems, my guess is that the file systems are different which could cause an issue. And if you ever wanted to pull the sd card you would have to remove the symlink before hand. Also, names don't mean much to the OS, they are on /dev/ mounts and referred to by device addresses.
Hey guys I'm having a issue with my phone. When ever I use my file explorer (es file explorer) its not going into my SD card instead its going into my internal storage don't think its my SD card cause my gallery and music player read and play files from my SD card.
Is this a known issue how do I fix it?
Thanks.

With SGS2, your internal memory is in /sdcard and your actual external SD card is on /sdcard/external_sd
If you go to the /sdcard from the file explorer, you should find a folder called "external_sd", thats your SD card.
I went into the external SD folder and there's only a external SD executive file in there nothing else do I need to reformat my SD card?

That's where mine is...
I have this problem on my Original Galaxy Tab running ICS Alpha 3 ROM. The /sdcard/external_sd/ is empty. In my case, the external sd is mounted on /mnt/emmc/, which can only be accessed through Root Explorer.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I may have a problem with my external sd card. When I plug my phone into my computer not everything is showing up. For example I have 395 pictures and only 23 are showing up in windows explorer. A couple other folders are not showing all the content either. Now, on the phone itself using solid explorer I can see everything that is on the card but on a handful of files the file extension is messed up (a pic has an extension of .jpg7673.jpg and when I change it I get a popup that says I can't rename because that name already exists). I have a class 10 64gb SanDisk formatted in exFat using Windows 7. Any solutions?
My sd card is working fine but I am unsure how to access the files on my sdcard in astro. The phones memory is shown as sdcard so I'm a bit confused.
I did do a search but couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know how I can access my sd card files in astro? Thanks

Manage My file on the top / click on 'home' , then click on 'up', then you will get /Mount
in that you will find "extSdCard" folder
Thanks
