Go into the /mnt directory and look for the folder titled extSdCard.

I was looking for the same thing. I think its the way Samsung has labeled the internal memory as an SD.
Using the My Files app the SD card is labeled as extSD. Maybe Root Explorer needs to be updated.

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?
I brought over my sd card from my 3d. It now saves pictures in a directory called ext sd. How can I change this back?

Believe it or not... That is actually your external sd card

I can take the card out, look at it on the computer and I see both. It's like the os sees two different sd cards.

Now I'm more confused. If I look at the root, I see sdcard and sdcard2 (which points to the sd_ext directory.

Your phone has an internal (sdcard) and external (sdcard2). They are linked by sdcard/ext_sd path.
also data/media/ is linked to the internal (sdcard)...
That's craziness. So everything needs to be moved to the sd_ext directory?

It doesn't have to, you can swap the two mount points around. There are at least two threads on this on the Android Dev forum, search before posting. Also there's a FAQ roundup thread by me in this forum, read it if you're new with the phone...
Racer Of All said:
Q: Is there a way to move application data (such as huge game files) to the SD Card instead of the phone storage?
A: YES! But either root or HTCDev Unlock is required. The simplest method is the one maxdamage2122 posted. It's a simple zip file you flash and swaps your mount points around (sdcard becomes your external card and sdcard2 becomes your internal phone storage) you can find his thread here. If you don't have HTCDev unlock but do have root filmaker made a how-to guide to do the same thing here.

EDIT: Also if you don't want to move the swap points but you want your camera to save pictures to your external card:
Racer Of All said:
Q: Why are my pictures saved to the internal phone storage and how can I force it to save to the SD card?
A: When you first launched your camera app (assuming you had an SD card in) it should have asked you if you wanted to save to the SD card. Either way, the problem is easily fixed within the camera settings or by going to Settings> Storage> App storage locations and choosing Storage card for each option.

I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

You'll find the external SD card at /mnt/extSdcard.
been looking for it for almost 2 hours now. Was about to format my SD card until I read this. Thanks
I notice that anything I download goes to that folder. What is that? Is that on the sd card or internal memory?

You said ExSD. ExtSD is the external memory card; you can change your download location for the stock browser in settings, and the camera app will automatically detect a memory card and ask you.
Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Yes, I can mount.
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

So if I move, it will be filled again. Not music, pictures, videos, etc., fill applications. Again there will be the problem.
