Typically, when you connect the Vibrant to your PC and select "mount," both /sdcard (internal) & /sdcard/sd (external) are mounted as 2 separate devices on your PC. Is there any way to only mount the external sd to the PC and to leave the internal storage for the phone? I doubt it's possible through the standard GUI, but what about through ADB?

put one in. can't seem to find it.
do i need to format or something?
If you are connecting to the tablet via USB mass storage, you will initially see the internal storage of the device. On mine there is then an 'external_sd' folder (link) in that volume that re-directs to the microSD storage.
/sdcard/external_sd
It's a really irritating way to mount the internal and external storage actually. Buy hey, what can you do?
I am running CM7 on SD card that has a storage partition of about 6 gig.
When I run stock Nook Color USB, it's easy to set up folders in My Files and fill them with magazines, ebooks, pdf files, videos, etc. on the EMMC.
Then under CM7, I have been using File Manager to move the files one by one to the SD card.... a tedious process.
Or I have been able to use DropBox to export the files one by one to the SD card .... even slower and more tedious
I've tried to get EASEUS Partition Master to activate the storage partition so I could just drop files in there, but all I can ever see is the boot partition on my PC.
There has to be an easier way, right ?
Just plug the Nook in via USB and then you need to open your status bar and mount as USB. You will then have two new drives on your PC, one for EMMC and one for your SD card.

THATS more like it. Working great now and thanks!
edit /system/etc/vold.fstab on stock and change first auto for SDCARD to 4 and you can use the same partition for stock and sd ROM for the SDCARD
in your CM7...
either use terminal app or adb shell:
mkdir /sdcard/tmp
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/tmp
Then edit /sdcard/tmp/etc/vold.fstab to make the following change:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto auto /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
CHANGE TO
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 auto /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
Hi all,
I was formatted the external storage into EXFAT on PC, once I reboot my phone, no longer mount the /SDCARD either CWM or PC (and ofcos in phone), so I couldn't reformat into other FS, so what can I do now?
Thanks for Help.
Hi friends, i installed carbon rom 4.4.2 on my galaxy grand gt-i9082....i have a ext4 formatted 32GB sd card and contains only one primary partition........Carbon ROM detects ext4 card successfully and mounts it at /storage/sdcard1 , but i am not able to copy and write files onto the sd card using an explorer like root explorer or ex file explorer......Now, Carbon rom also mounts it at /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1...but here i am able to copy an write files onto the sd card...But the downside is that When i use MTP to transfer files between my mobile and windows pc, i can see only the sdcard mounted at /storage/sdcard1 from which i cant copy or paste the files.....So how do i make MTP to show the real mounted partition /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 so that i can transfer files between my computer and mobile.
NOTE: I just found out using mount command that it uses /dev/fuse to mount the sdcard at /storage/sdcard1 but uses the real device i.e. /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to mount the sdcard at /storage/media_rw/sdcard1.......
Please Help........Any ideas or suggestions to make this work are welcome....
Hi,
is there a way to mount internal HDD instead of SD card via Settings > Device > Storage & reset > SHIELD storage access > Over local network ?
I have followed http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4172/~/how-do-i-share-shield-tv-folders-with-a-pc and see only INTERNAL ...
Thank you.
At first I only saw the Internal as well, it was only after a few reboots I saw the External too. I also had to disable/enable the SMB server once after I plugged in the HDD. Did you set the HDD as Internal Storage or is it just plugged in as an non-adopted External Storage (both should work, just curious)?
