Hi, I have a question.
Does our Nook support mount multiple vfat partition on external SDCard?
You can mount a different SD partition by editing the vold.fstab file.

Hello,
I have the SD card with 3 partitions one FAT and two ext2. But the system only mount one FAT and one ext2. I would like to mount the third partition any time the system boot.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Currently when you plug in the S3 it mounts the internal sd partition /sdcard is it possible to change it to mount / ?
Cheers.
On my Archos 101IT I formatted the (removable) SD card as ext3. This was required for TitaniumBackup. When UrukDroid is booted, it mounts the file system as:
/dev/block/vold/179:17 on /mnt/storage/sdcard type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,fmode=0 666,dmode=0777,errors=continue,data=ordered)
I do not want the fmode/dmode since these make it impossible to protect files on the storage (again, as required by TitaniumBackup).
Where can I change what to have this file system mounted with the right options on reboot?
ANSWER:
Urukdroid has a special script, /system/bin/mount_sdcard.sh, that mounts the SD card upon boot. This script understands (V)FAT and EXT4. Anything else is left to the vold automounter. Archos modded vold so it could do a bit more than stock A 2.1 vold, e.g., mount EXT3 file systems.
I upgraded the file system on the SD card to EXT4, and now mount_sdcard.sh mounts the SD card upon boot with the correct mount options.
Thanks to $aur0n for helping me solve this.
Upgrading an EXT2 or EXT3 file system to EXT4 is easy, see https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 .
So ran out of storage in /data partition, decided to create 2 partitions in my external SD and i created it using Gparted, one is ext4 and the other is fat32, now the phone refuses to mount the ext4 partition from Link2SD.
Looking at the vold.fstab file and sysfs paths(/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0) , it seems that our phone can mount only 2 (+1 otg) partitions ? (or is it just 2 sd cards ?)
is it even possible to mount the second partiton ?? (No /devices/platform/msm_sdcc )
I do know of the EMMC method, i don't like it ;p
A block for the second partiton is present in /dev/block,(mmcblk1p2) gonna mount and see what happens

Hi All,
I just got a new 32GB microSD card, and I'm trying to create a partition via TWRP to install apps on it.
I am on 4.4.4, tried with both TWRP official and unofficial (2.8.5.0), tried with EXT3 and EXT4
Code:
Partitioning SD Card...
Removing Partition Table...
Creating FAT32 partition...
Creating EXT partition...
E: Unable to locate sd-ext partiton
Any hints? Thanks
Okay, fixed using a PC with EaseUS Partiton Master, and I created an EXT3 partition which is successfully mounted by Link2SD.
However via recovery I'm still unable to create an EXT3/4 partition.
