Apparently it depends on the blob you used, if you go to page 18 I think it is, there is a detailed explanation...

Any thoughts?
My problem is the same except I am not hooked up to USB. The issue came when I installed CM7DX2 RC0. See below what happened.
Stock settings
/mnt/sdcard (this was the internal card)
/mnt/sdcard-ext (this was the external card)
After CM7
/mnt/sdcard (this is now the external card)
/mnt/sdcard-ext (it shows up but there is nothing there)
/mnt/emmc (this is the internal card and show 0 bytes free; it has my old files but nothing can be added to it; I assume it is read only at this point)
Is there any way to make the internal read/write again or will I have to SBF? I don't get what happened. I love CM7 except for this issue. Thanks.

Emmc is supposed to be a external card. Its a flip flop. So if emmc is bad its ur removable SD. Get a new one.

Or maybe format? Idk.

Moved to proper forum.
emmc is what was my internal SD card; all the files from it are still there exactly as they were before the CM7 installation. I already replaced the external card shortly before installing CM7 and it is working flawlessly as sdcard (previously sdcard-ext before installing CM7). That is why I was asking. I was hoping CM7 was the cause of the issue as it was ok at the SBF before flashing to CM7. Is there a specific way to format the internal SD card? Thanks.

If you are planning on staying on CM7, or any other ROM that uses the flip flop mod, and you are wanting to get everything straightened out, I would recommend backing up your app data with Titanium Backup. Back up your External SD card to your computer (If you have anything else from your INTERNAL card you want to save like pictures, music, videos, etc., back them up to your computer as well). Then format both. You can erase both cards in settings/storage. After you format your internal, the apps you have on your phone already should recreate the folders they need. But wont restore your app data. Thats where you use Titanium Backup to restore the data. Then just move everything back from your computer to your external or internal depending on where you want it. You should be good then.
Thanks jsgraphicart for the advice. I will look at this and attempt the repair. However I have a question first. It seems to me that /mnt/emmc should be showing up as /mnt/sdcard-ext if the cards were truly swapped. However in File Expert with root exploring turned on there is nothing there. It seems to me a symbolic link might need to be reestablished. I think the cards themselves are fine. I was hoping someone might have some ideas how to get /mnt/emmc to point to /mnt/sdcard-ext so the swap is complete. Does anyone have some clues to offer to get things in their proper order? I think I will go read the article about swapping the cards to see if I can find the answer myself but if anyone has an answer I would love to hear from you. Thanks.

I think the emmc is an AOSP thing. I'm not 100% though. I dont know the technical answer to that. The emmc IS your external card and works the same. If you use it long enough, you do get used to it. I think it confused a lot of us when we flashed CM7 for the first time.

I don't think he's taking about repartitioning. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like OP just can't get his /mnt/media partition to mount.
I think you have to change the mounts in your build.prop. The changes were posted somewhere in the CM7 thread by @succulent.

This is pretty easy to do with CM9. All you have do is edit the vold.fstab and swap the mount points. I have emmc mounting to /mnt/sdcard and sdcard mounting to /mnt/emmc.
I then use an app called "Directory Bind" (google it) to mount the sdcard to the internal emmc at /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. You could use something like SManager to do the mounting instead of Directory Bind (it sometimes doesn't work at boot).
Unfortunately it doesn't seem as easy with CM7. I couldn't get it to work properly using the same method.
I don't think this is what he wants either. He wants the /mnt/media (X: My NOOK) partition to mount on the PC. I think you're suggesting he manually mount the partition on his NT.
To allow mounting this partition on your PC, this is what you change:
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/media
and
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media
Also, I know this was the solution when CM7 was in its earlier Alpha stages. I thought Celtic fixed this issue in their next build.

[Q] Mounting internal sdcard folder as usb mass storage

Is there any way I can mount a folder from the internal sdcard as USB mass storage?
( I am aware that I can mount an external sd but I don't happen to have one.)

Once I connect my phone it shows internal and external as two drives. You just can't mount e.g. the system folders if I am right.

No.
And here is why:
On the newer phones there is no seperate phone memory and internal SD, its just one big memory. The good thing about ir is, that you can install a lot more apps, because the whole memory is usable for the phone. The bad side is, that you can only access it through MTP.
In order to make it available as USB mass storage it needs to be unmounted, but this is not possible, because it is used by the phone. If you do it, the phone will crash. Its just like pulling a memory chip out of a running PC.
A filesystem can be mounted on different locations. If more than one location has write access, it will cause irreparable damage though.
The main problem here is that that the device uses the ext4 filesystem which Windows cannot process.
As a fix (sort of) you can
- swap internal and external storage.
- use a Smb over Wifi app and mount the share in Windows
- use a pseudo-filesysem such as sshfs from your computer

I dont think so and disagree with you... galaxy s i9000 and galaxy s2 i9100 also same. But they can mount internal and external as UMS or MTP.
Maybe the different in filesystem is the main cause.

On the S3, the whole internal memory is one big chunk (called /data). How would you go about mounting that as UMP when android is running? Android is using /data, therefore you can't unmount it and remount is as UMS.
If I'm wrong (which I may very well be), then post valid proof.

HI there, by chance are you able to recover from the "internal memory" after a factory reset, on a galaxy s3.
I am not sure what the consensus was-
-i recently thought google had all my photos backed up and did a factory reset, and lost everything.
Am hoping if I keep the phone that I can find a way to recover the photos.
Thank you.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting that second link. I've been looking everywhere for a way to export the raw mount to recover files from internal /sdcard.
Oh and in response to the first thread, I believe the reason they were getting that error (the thread is locked unfortunately) is because they used -1 (the number one) rather than -l (the letter L). I made this mistake too.
Edit: Probably should have used the 'thanks' button, sorry. Can't delete post.
If you have a custom recovery installed boot into that and mount ums from there, as recovery doesn't depend on the data partition it can unmount and remount it

[Q] friendly battery kernel and internal meoriy increase trhough scripts

Good morning, I'm new in rom and kernel flashing: I started a week ago looking for a trick to increase the internal memory of my xperia ray.
I read a lot in forums, I've also tried to follow suggestions on how to create ext partitions on the sd card in order to increase internal memory, but nothing!
Only a lot of problems inrom/kernel incompatibility, bootloops... quite frustating.
Now I'm using ROM Ultimate HD 3.0.2, and CTcaer 2.6 Kernel.
But my final goal is to increase the internal memory with a part of my sd card (Samsung 16GB class 10).
Any suggestions? I tried int2extv2+, but the memory size didn't changed. Maybe I'm using a wrong kernel.
Please help.
Thank you very much

I'll try to use it, but I'd like to understand which is the difference between using link2sd or a script in the init.d, if there is a difference in performance.

Installed link2sd... atg the beginning I had some problems: link2sd wasn't able to create scripts; after fixing access permissions all worked properly.
Just one question: is there a limit for the ext partiotion size?

would like to know that too!

Only 2GB of space.

Hi! I've got an i717 16GB, and according to my settings, I only have 2GB of space on the total system. I plug it in, and it says I have 10GB available and 5.8GB used. What's going on? I have CWM 5.5

OPPS sorry about that dead link.....
This link is working today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHsHiXDgSy4
I put the whole URL this time to copy and paste.
I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st Primary Fat32 partition.
Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.
OR
Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.
Be sure to set or make BOTH the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.
I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.
Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.
And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

So, basically your solution is based on using additional SD card not changing/modifying the phones' EMMC memory.
I think I had tried Link2SD/Folder mount earlier and not all apps supports with this method.
It is still helpful but I think we(other users) still like to change the EMMC side.
But I still want to tried your suggested method to try. Thank you!!!
