Good Day,
I am trying to mount External SD (32GB) as USB Storage/Internal SD on my xTouch 506 smart phone (already rooted). Below is the vold.fstab. I've tried all the options but nothing is happening. Can anyone please help me in this?

I have another file by the name vold.fstab.nand. Is it needs to be modified as well? Below is the detail of it:

I'm trying to swap my external sd with the internal sd. I've been playing with the vold.fstab file, using quite a few examples I've found but after rebooting I keep getting sd not mounted when I try to access it through root explorer. I want to make this into a monster ebook reader with about 10gb of books but all the readers want to rewrite the books they find to the internal sd.
Heres the ICS vold.fstab file:

Does anyone know how to rewrite the dev_mount lines to get this accomplished?
Hello all,
I have a generic, MTK6577 Chinese, Android 4.0.4 phone. Its vold.fstab file looks like this:

It clearly says mount the [email protected] (internal sd) to /mnt/sdcard and external, physical sd to /mnt/sdcard2.
Still, it mounts completely the opposite: physical sd gets mounted to /mnt/sdcard and internal sd to /mnt/sdcard2.
Why is that? Another interesting thing: if I remove the [email protected] line, the physical sd won't mount anymore.
I;m trying to port CM10 to my device and have fixed most of the problems but I cannot get the USB and external SD to mount(flash is detecting as sdcard)
these are the volds i am dealing with
this is the base

Short answer: you can't.
What you can do is install Link2SD which will essentially move almost all apps to the SD card while letting the phone think they're still on the internal memory.
1. Root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 - simple tool, follow on-screen prompts.
2. Confirm root with "Root Checker" in the Play Store.
3. Create a partition on your SD card: http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html
4. Use Link2SD from the Play Store to move Internal apps to your new SD card partition. Details/instructions here - http://www.link2sd.info/description
I bought this phone as a cheap replacement in Nepal because mine died. With these steps I now have all the apps I want installed, and less than 2/3 of my internal memory used. Good luck.
