The vibrant ( ansd also the I9000 ) has an internal SD Card. This card is mounted as /sdcard; the external SD card is mounted under / sdcard/sd.
Now;some Application can configured, that they store the information on the external SdCard, but on this phone it is the internal.
Does someone has an idea, how to add a line into the fstab, so that the external Sdcard will be mounted also under /sd ? Pls keep in mind, the fstab is in the flash and can not easy overwritten with an editor...
Maybe it is possible to add somewhere ${HOME}/rc.d with a ln command, so that the /sdcard/sd is also responsable as /sd ?

I wanted to ask gently, if someone is in a position to build a kernel that allows the SD card to be formatted in ext(2,3,4)?
I've pushed a 32GiB card into the tablet, and it would be very nice to move more than 4GiB sized data on the sd card.
Other file systems would of course possible
I have the P6810.
I don't think you need a custom kernel. The internal flash memory is already formatted with ext4 and supports files larger than 4GB. The problem is with the Samsung automatic sd-card mounting which forces fat32 only.
Is it possible to manually unmount/remount the external sd card with ext4 file support via shell or custom app/script?
The kernel's got ext4 support.
To mount the SD card, run the following in a terminal (as root):
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/ext
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/ext
Your SD card will then be mounted in the ext directory on your Internal drive.
The SD card mounts in mnt/sdcard
external sdcard in mnt/sdcard/extstorages/sdcard - can this one be renamed to mnt/sdcard2 ???
As I have music and stuff on my external sdcard this path is stupid !
It does not work with Sandisk backup tool either as it is just linked in a folder.
Anyone know how to??
I don´t know if this has been posted here,
it does work on my N7105 stock rom, rootet with perseus kernel.
External SD card is mounted in / mnt / exdSdCard and for any file manager this is visible but the apps do not see the SD card
install ICS SD Binder vom Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder
install the app open it
original mountpoint: / mnt / extSdCard
new mountpoint: select external_sd
check in SD Bind to the new mountpoint and unmount original mountpoint
Save & Reboot
leave the folder as mentioned above no changes... believe me ;o)
Not a bug, but who cares, that by this ICS SD workaround leaves only the internal memory displayed on the PC
You can still get your data lby going to the subfolder 'external_sd'
I hope this helped you.

So with this method am I able to transfer applications to sd card?
Sent From my Samsung Note 2 GT-N7100
I have a SD card installed in my i9500. As you know, i9500 has 16GB built-in RAM, and I found that /sdcard (also /mnt/sdcard) is mounted to internal storage(seems /storage/sdcard0), external SD card is located in /storage/extSdCard ( /mnt/sdcard mounted to here). But some old apps don't support customizing download destination, and most downloaded files went to the internal storage. Also there's some game saves in external SD, but they won't be detected. How I can fix that?
ps: Sorry for my bad English:silly:
Hi, apologies if this has already been asked but I can't find a thread actually covering this question.
Does anyone know if/how I can completely "remove" the internal emulated SD card on the S4? I've got a much larger external SD card and would prefer it if android saw this as the only SD card so that all apps that want to write to the SD card will automatically write to the external one (giving me the peace of mind that all "sd card" data is in the same place and that all of this data will persist even if I need to format the /data partition).
I'm rooted and running CM11, in case that's relevant.
I gather that on this phone the internal SD is just a folder under /data (rather than a separate partition). So I'm wondering if it's sufficient to simply delete the /data/media/ directory? (and move it's contents over to the external SD). Or if that's not enough, will a full format of /data do the job? Or will android still somehow "know" that this phone is supposed to have an internal SD and hence re-create it as soon as it boots again?
