I had noticed that my external sdcard is not is recognized as "sdcard01", so it's on the same level as :
/storage
sdcard0 sdcard1 usbdisk0
> the sdcard0 is the main sdcard and sdcard1 is my 32gbyte external sdcard.
i tried renaming it but does not allow it.
How can i set the external sd-card as the real "external_sd" when you open the main sdcard and find the folder?
Thank you.
I wanna help, but I don't quite understand what you're asking?

/mnt/sdcard is internal
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd is . . . .
On CM roms I think they are /emmc or something - someone jump in here and correct me.
Is it possible someone formatted a different internal partition?
Hi, my external sdcard1 is in the directory as the main sdcard, sdcard0, under /system.
If i go inside sdcard0 and open the folder external_sd, no files are in there.
When using the apps beam reader or hide n seek, it can only see the sdcard0, not the sdcard1.
I tried reflash and wipe internal and external sdcard but still the ext sdcard is still assigned as sdcard1.
I would appreciate any fix.
Thank you.

I believe that the structure for the internal/external files is set during the flash and initial boot of the device, and is rom dependent. thats why I always format the emmc partition, (internal sd card) when flashing a new build.
It seems too often that leftovers are present on the emmc, and are not cleared when wiping in the recovery.
now I'm not saying that this is an absolute, but I'm guessing that if you were too backup your data...(pictures, documents) to PC, and then go to recovery and format the emmc partition, (along with a clean format to FAT32 of the external SD card )...
that upon reboot, the rom dependent file structure will be placed on the internal emmc partition. And you will then see the proper file structure for the external card.
It has worked well for me several times in the past, and with the exception of a few CM builds, will not cause errors. And regarding CM card sight errors, it appears that the file, system/nomedia, placed to the device by rom manager app, will block the access to the external SD entirely by failing to mount. And can be corrected by removing the nomedia file.
I'm no expert, and I'm simply trying my best to help....g
TRY AT OWN RISK !!!!
I will try to do the emmc partition format too.
Thank you for the reply.

What do you mean "format the emmc partition"? Is the TWRP, it's either WIPE>Internal Storage or ADVANCED>Partition SD Card, under this option, there is a number for EXT size and the default was 512 and Swap Size: 32.
Which one should I choose? I had already tried teh Wipe>Internal Storage and format the external-sdcard using FAT32 in my computer and re-flashed but still did not work.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I had downloaded Mini Tool Partition Wizard and now formatting my internal sdcard as EXT4, with default cluster size, the other options for cluster are only 1KB, 2KB, 3KB and 4KB so I chose Default.
I will see what will happen.
Thanks.
You don't need to partition your internal space !!
You need to format the emmc partition only !!
Yikes !!
You are not understanding my post .....
TWRP and CWM recoveries will both format the emmc partition ...
Doing more is dangerous !!!
If you don't understand ...don't proceed !!....g
If you unmount and remove your external sd card, then flash any rom, then insert and remount your card, you should get the correct partitions.

That was a little more understandable. I know what he is saying.
Thank you all. It's fixed. Used mini partition tool.

My question is
can I set /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as my destination folder?
Because i tried directing it to /storage/sdcard1 but it doesn't do the trick
Are you asking how can you get everything you download to be directed towards the sdcard instead of internal memory ?

I think I got a similar issue than you once had and I wonder, how did Mini Partition Tool solve your problem?
My issue is this:
When running the stock Samsung firmware, my external SDCARD was mounted at /storage/extSdCard
I have now installed CM13 (Bliss-ROM) and the external SD card is mounted at /storage/3937-3663
As a result, my restored apps (via Titanium) are looking at /storage/extSdCard for files that are at /storage/3937-3663.
What's the ideal way to resolve my "apps looking in the wrong place" problem?
Renaming "3937-3663" to "extSdCard" is not possible.
Re-linking the apps to the correct path would be very time-consuming, esp. for apps like "Tasker", which has many wrong path-entries right now.
Any suggestions?
Hi!
I think I have bricked my phone (it bootloops), but I still can get into CWM Recovery.
Is there any way to access my SD card inserted into my phone from my PC if I'm in recovery on the phone?
Thanks!
Mounts and Storage in cwm > mount sdcard. Should work

The only problem is that under ICS, Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage seems to only give an error message:
"E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Ok ... Do you have card reader? If not then try mount USB storage with another kernel .. That you can easily do via flash tool right ? The problem happened to me once..

Had same prob on ics. Just flash another kernel (if bl is unlocked) or try a cardreader as rachit.rc96 told you. Otherwise you will have to flash the stock rom or if you did a nandroid backup before, just restore it...
I can't back up my S3 (fw 4.1.2) to external sdcard. I choose backup to extsdcard from the backup menu in cwm 6.0.1.2 but it says 'Can't mount backup path'. Ne1 have solutions to this?
Is it formatted in fat32?
Hi Glebun, I formatted my card internally with my phone. Should I format it with FAT32?
Yes. Formatting internally on stock-ish systems will result in Fat64 which is not only incompatible with Cwm but has several issues on it's own.
You may want to try to mount the sdcard's filesystem before backing up

Thanx d4fseeker
in CWMTouch, the format data/media option, does that do a quick internal sdcard format? as in there will be nothing on the internal storage? and if not, which option in CWMTouch does that? thank you.
fairly certain it does

Hi,
My phone has 4gig of internal storage, but the system seems to be using only 3 500mb partitions... /system, /cache, and /data... and a couple of other small partitions.
At the end of mmcblk0 is p6 that is about 2GIG and NOT MOUNTED! Is that space needed for something, or can I add it to /data (p5)? or create a mount point for it? and if so, HOW?
Thanks in advance.
Well... Responding to my own post, it turns out that the extra space was supposed to be my internal SD that my phone somehow lost... It has since been recovered with the help of an app I and a lot of cold sweat and reflashing... I'll see if I can find the app again - it's here on XDA somewhere...
