CWM mounts and storage question. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

CWM mounts and storage, what should be mounted or unmounted and what does it mean?

Mounted partition -> read/write permissions (RW)
Unmounted partition -> read only (RO)
Each partition is mounted automatically if needed (updater-script controls it).

mount sdcard to /sdcard

is there anyway to mount the real sdcard to /sdcard?
i tried to edit the vold.fstab, but it just bootloop on the animation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23347641&postcount=14
he is mounting to "/mnt/sdcard" while i used "/sdcard"
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2
where should it be mount to or is it because of different phone?

/sdcard is normally a symbolic link pointing to /storage/emulated/legacy
There's an internal "sdcard" that normally gets mounted onto /mnt/shell/legacy from /init.qcom.rc - that's symlinked to /storage/emulated/legacy in that same file. It also appears to start up a daemon that re-mounts the internal "sdcard".
What are you trying to do? Normally the external SDcard is mounted to /mnt/extSdCard, so you should just store data there rather than /sdcard.
(Or /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/shell/legacy, /storage/emulated/legacy, or any of the other things simlinked to the internal sdcard.)

[Q] Link2SD:2nd partition shown but still not working

I tried to install Link2SD in Micromax A58 as the internal storage is very low and need to install some more apps. Already rooted and installed Link2SD to use the ext4 2nd partition of my 8 GB SD card. After trying with all possible ways, couldn't get it worked. All the time it was showing error--
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
Previously even the 2nd partition was not shown as mounted in the storage info of Link2SD but after modifying the install-recovery.sh in /etc path, the storage info now atleast showing the 2nd partition as mounted. My install-recovery.sh looks like below--
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
Now, the problems are as below--
1) Installed multiple applications but none of them are actually linked to SDcard. The Link2SD shows them as 'On SD Card' and just after installing 9-10 small applications, the internal memory is now full. If I go to 'Create Link', it is giving error '/data/sdext2 mount not found'.
2) When try to recreate mount script and choosing 'ext4' as parameter, it still throws error
"Mount Script can not be created. Mount: No such file or directory"
It seems that even though the storage info shows the 2nd partition as mounted, but system couldn't identify it somehow. So, Link2Sd is not working at all.
Please help and advice further. Thanks a lot.

[Q] Mount Multi SDCard Partitions

I've partitioned my sdcard with minitool and now I'm trying to edit vold.fstab to mount the second partition but I'm getting nowhere.
This is the line that mounts the first partition:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host
This works unless I change auto to 1 which then tells me my sdcard is damaged.
The line for the second partition is based on this:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host
I created a mount point on the internal storage for now. I've changing the mtk-sd.? number and auto but nothing's working.
Any ideas? Where can I find the correct device pathname? And why don't explicit partition numbers work for me?

Mount ext2 partition

How the heck do I mount my ext2 partition?
I have an lg stylo (t-mobile) rooted
My system dirs are all under various mmcblk0p#s
My ext sd is either mounted under mmcblk1 mmcblk1p1 or mounted via mount device by name script
All I want to do is get my ext2 partition mounted and visible.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
