On all other roms I used it stored my internal SD card in the 'mnt/sdcard' and the external would be in the 'mnt/sdcard/external_sd'...
This ROM stores the external sdcard in the opposite manner (mnt/sdcard) which makes more sense but I can't find out where the internal sdcard is stored.
Thanks in advance.
ROM is seraphim mesosphere...or something like that lol

Waiting for my AT&T model and had a question, how does the 16GB internal storage get presented at file system level? Is it mounted as /sdcard or something else? If so what does the external SD get mounted as? Trying to decide if I need an SDcard or not. 16GB is enough for me but concerned about app compatibility depending on how its setup.

Mounts as sdcard external card mounts as ext sdcard on stock firmware apps cannot be installed to ext sdcard.

Does anyone know how to swap the internal storage with the sd card? The fstab looks funky.

what do you mean by swap the internal storage with the external? dont you just normally use both internal and external together?
FOr what reasons? For apps to be moved/installed in the external SD?
Answer is at the moment Apps2SD doesn't work YET in s3
No. I mean to literally swap their mount directories. I've done this before on my Note. I edited my vold.fstab and with a little help got my internal storage mounted to /sdcard/ExternalSD and my 64GB SD card mounted to /sdcard. That's what I want to do here.

For what reasons do you want to do this?
Look in siyah kernel thread.he changed the vold.fstab mounted in adb.ask him about the swap.

Thank you so much. And to answer the questions, I want to do this so my internal storage can be as big as the SD card I'm using. For example, I have the storage swapped on my n7000 so my 64GB SD card is read as internal storage and my 16GB internal storage is read as an external SD card.

I would like to do the same. i have done this switch on my note and it works flawlessly. I want to do this because I am a hardcore gamer and 16gb is nowhere near enough space to store all my game data, but my 64gb sd card is.

Never thought of it that way hehe. But I have a question about the setup: Have you ever had issues where your SD card randomly unmounted itself? If so, what happened to the system? Were you still able to run it or did it freeze or anything else?
Thanks
Not even once and I have had it set this way on my note for months through several different roms

The internal SDcard is not a real partition but a userspace mount (fuser)
It's configured in the file /init.smdk4x12.rc with the exact definition:
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
I don't see the daemon getting any kind of configuration as to the target directory. Either it's hardcoded or it uses /system/etc/vold.conf definition volume_sdcard the mount_point value.
You can't use Easy UMS anymore though since it will unmount the external SD.
Just using the APK Directory Bind will work fine though to simulate folders on the external SDcard as being on the internal one.
You can swap over the Internal SD with your external SD so you could have a 64GB phone with a 16GB ext card (assuming your phone is a 16GB one) - take a look at ExtSd2InternalSd v4|Increase your data storage
Can anyone tell me how to get the mount points back to internal sd and external sd?
anyone...
The latest versions have them at /emmc for internal and /sdcard for external, which is where they're actually supposed to be in AOSP.

I've been running HB and following the dev forum regularly. I've heard of people having external SD card issues. I am wondering if I am having these issues too. When I try to move an app to my SD card, it moves it from one partition to the other, not the external SD. Is it supposed to do that or am I having the external SD card issues?
Thanks in advance.

The dev shrunk the partition for the app storage (USB storage) I think... so when you move to sd your actually moving to the internal storage. I'm kinda new hear also but I read in the jb threads they did it for performance I believe. Hope this helps

The internal SD is setup with a system partition a data partition and a datadata partition that between them takes up about 3gb. Leaving around 13gb left on internal SD. The system part is basically the apps from ROM. The data and datadata is basically apps you DL and use. So when you move an app to SD you move it from the data part to internal SD.

As quickly as possible, could someone explain to me why this phone has so many different storage locations? What's the difference? What's the difference between phone storage, and internal storage? I hate having to look for some pics that my phone decided to save where-ever on the phone sometimes.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The only place pictures will be saved are on either your internal SD card or the external SD card, depending on where you've selected in the camera app.
/sdcard/ext_sd is the same as /sdcard2. They are just two separate references to the same folder (the root of your external SD card).
I think this confusion is probably one of the reasons they stopped making devices with an SD card slot. That, and the way they partitioned the nand on this device was poor.
Okay, thanks Captain. Two more questions: what is the difference between phone storage and internal storage?
And, what is sdcard0? sdcard?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I honestly don't remember which is which, but one of them is your /data partition, where app data is stored. The other is your internal SD, which is mounted at /storage/sdcard0, and symlinked to /sdcard.
