Hello all,
I've been having troubles with my external SdCard (sandisk ultra 32gb class 10).
My phone mounts the internal sdcard also as external...
I have to go to storage -> unmount external sdcard and mount it again, to become available for my phone. It get's reset by every reboot.
I'm running foxhound 0.7
Anyone knows what happening?
THanks in regards.
Because pictures say more then a thousands words...

Hi,
(other thread I found didn't help)
So I have a tablet running ICS with 4Gb of internal storage, and I installed an 8Gb SD card. Problem is, the internal storage is full (got around 5mb left), and when I try to move an app to SD I get an error message because the tablet detects the internal storage as full. I also get a "mount and unmount filesystems" notification.
Any help please?
BTW, first post on XDA.
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
I just flashed a new ROM on my galaxy S2 GT-I9100... But the USB storage is not mounting. I have inserted an SD card ( 2GB ) .. But instead of showing the SD card in the external storage, it is showing it in the internal storage. My 16GB internal storage is gone.. How can I mount my SD card to external storage and get back my internal 16GB Storage.... ????

The sd card is mounted as a folder and its shown as a folder in internal memory (that aint a problem since if you copy anything into that folder you are copying into the sd card) , and if you are saying that only the sd card is getting mounted and being used instead of internal memory enable root access for aps and adb in settings - developer options, this will mount internal as /mnt/eMMc and if you want to change the default storage go to storage settings press settings button and change from storage configuration, and please include more information like rom type, os version and many other relevant information if you want people to help.

I thank people who write helpful posts, so i expect the same.
When I go into settings and click storage I have:
Internal Storage for about 1 GB
SD Card for about 16 GB
and then Internal Storage again for about 6 GB
It's frustrating because all my apps try to store on the first Internal Storage, so after a while it gets filled up and I have to go through and "Move to SD Card"
I'm pretty sure it should be 8GB of interal storage and then my SD card (which I thought was 8GB, but apparently its 16)
Would wiping "Internal Storage" in recovery fix this? If that will fix it, I'm willing to save everything I need on my SD card and wipe the internal storage and start with a clean install of CM. Just curious if that would fix it?

Lately my phone has stopped mounting the SD storage when I reboot. I now have to manually mount the SD card via settings which is a pain as most apps I have moved to this storage and appears disabled unless I mount.
Just to make it clear this is the external micro sd card I'm referring not the USB storage or the internal storage.
Any ideas why this would suddenly be happening? Could my SD Card be slowly dying?
I'm on 4.1.2 for sometime now.
