Dear Forum,
I'm new here (however I've been following for some time) and I really hope you can help me with a problem I ran into today. I am using a Base Varia (which is an Alcatel 918d). I have link2sd installed and two partitions, both FAT32.
As with link2sd, normally one partition is mounted to /data/sdext2 (app files), and the other one is in /mnt/sdcard (everything else). This worked perfectly up to now. Today I realized strange behavior of the phone and after some research, I noticed that the app file partition was mounted in both directories:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2 vfat rw,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0133,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0133,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0
So basically I've lost my sdcard partition for user files (Gallery, Music, osmand maps, ...). I CAN manually mount /dev/block/vold/179:1, which is the device that should be mounted in /mnt/sdcard. I do not know if it helps, but /data/link2sd-install-recovery.log shows the following (note 2nd line)
Code:

If you have any idea on how to help me, that would be greatly appreciated. I really would not like to reinstall everything!
Thanks a lot in advance,

Just a quick update:
it turned out the SD card was broken, the /mnt/sdcard partition not readable anymore. Also partitioning with gparted was not possible.
So I replaced it with a working card and everything's back to normal.
Puh!

I have no idea if this belongs here, so feel free to move this thread.
I have a Qualcomm MDP MSM8660, which, frankly, I am way too much of a noob to use. I, with the help of someone, finally managed to install gapps and am able to use the market. The problem is, the Market claims that there is no room to install apps, even though the phone says that there is 888MB free. So I presume that the market sees some other partition which is full. If this is the case, how can I make it see the other partition, or alternatively expand the partition. I don't even know how to view the partitions to see if the above theory is correct.
EDIT: I checked using Android System Information, and the Data partition is nearly a Gigabyte. So any suggestions on why the Market thinks that there is no room. When I used ADB to push the gapps to /system there also wasn't any room, so I had to clear some apps. But I believe that's a different partition.
Any ideas?
Thanks
To view the partitions on your device you should run mount through adb shell. Post the output here.
Here it is:

EDIT: Not really related, but I even though this is supposed to be rooted, and through ADB it does seem so , after remount, Superuser says it's not and in Terminal it shows "$" and when I type "su" it says uid 10006 not allowed to su". Any ideas?
Does anyone have any ideas? Also how to symlinks?
Thanks.
Hi! I want backup /efs but its empty. Efs isnt mounted(checked in terminal and adb). Phone is rooted. How i can backup /efs (IMEI etc.) if /efs is empty? Phone isnt missing IMEI (starts 357... same as in box) and phone is working well. i Have tried DD different partitions and mount them on my linux pc, but didint found /efs(nv_data.bin etc) (version PDA/PHONE: S5360XXKJ1)

Hi,
I have very limited space on the system partition, so I can't install any apps larger than 2MB. I do have plenty of room on the data partition, so if I download the APK myself, I can install it. It appears that the Market uses the system partition as a download cache, until it installs the app. Therefore, I can install several apps summing up more than 2MB, however not a single app bigger than 2MB.
My question is, how to grow the system partition to use the space in the data partition.
Here is the output of adb mount:

There is a limit, but I never heard of one being so low. Have you checked to see if there were any junk files there (/cache/download)?
None that I see. There is 48MB of. so files, though.

Are you sure you are in the right folder? Those files should not be there.
Those files are there. Should I provide you with a list of all the files. If so, what's the easiest way?
Thanks!
I would suggest making a nandroid backup, then deleting all the files in that folder (make sure you're the right one). It should not affect your system since that folder is usually safe to delete files from, but ".so" files are driver files, so it would be safer to make the backup (just in case).
Nothing on the device would work if I did that. I tried to remove it already. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
hello,
i have two sch-r930 phones. (samsung galaxy s aviators) and through countless forums's and googling i cannot for the life of me find the recovery partitions, among others. even tho i have attempted all possibilities (the ones i found atleast) to find these, i ask others for assistance.
anything needed as far as output's from any commands or binaries can be provided.
help?
Looks like this might do the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.partition
or if you prefer to know how manually, then there might be some helpful info on this thread:

already attempted those. actually any app with partition in the title ive downloaded from the playstore and tried.
i have tried to ls -l /dev/block/platform and looked for a by-name in either location to no end. i have chekced the last_log from the cache/partition. i have used onandroid, romgen, romdump, flash_image, dump_image, etc to no end.
i need someone who can help me narrow it down by some other means.
is it possible that its wrapped up in with the kernel?

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (gt-i9505) on which I have Philz CWM Recovery and have install CyanogenMod 11.
I have two identical phones on which I have done exactly the same procedure (I thought!) to install the new ROM and recovery and one of them is perfectly fine whereas the other one is experiencing the following issue...
Everything has worked fine and the phone functions ok except while I was installing the ROM I found that I couldn't save anything to my external SD card. Now, since the ROM has been installed the external SD card is not accessible and attempting to mount it under the Storage menu says 'mounting ...' in the notification area but then doesn't nothing and the card is not mounted.
I assume I have done something to the permissions or symlinks when in the recovery but can't figure out what I did. I have inspected the file system of both phones via adb and the layout of folders and symlinks looks identical. The fstab.qcom and init.qcom.rc files also look identical.
When running the mount command on the phone with the SD card issue I get the following output:
