Ok here is the deal, this is my first tablet with internal storage, I have the 16gb.
and having a lot of apps using HUGE amount of storage (comics, gps...) the 16gb are nearly full so I bought a microSD of 32gb but...
Ho to set the tablet to store some of this data on the sdcard (the real physical one) and not the internal one???
I tried to move some folder to the card but the "mv" command failed: "cross device link", the purpose was to move the folder and create a symlink.
I have been looking for an app or commands to do that but so far no success, any HELP ?

Can't use the mv command from one device to another. Can use cp (copy) then delete the source. However, you cannot create a symlink on the internal sdcard, because its formatted fat32.

He can use mv. Learn linux commands better. He have to specify recursive parametters to do that. Single mv is not enough, because it is sufficient for single file or file masks only. Symlinks are not possible, true. But if he'll use loopback mounts (one big file, like ISO, internally formated to ext4) or reformat internal and external sd to ext4, then he'll be able to create symlinks even on sdcard. This will make another problem: mounting both storages to PC over usb. Both solutions will require him to have advanced linux knowladge. Not talking about kernel and init scripts modification beign involved.

External sd is expected to be used as an storage for pictures, movies and music. There is solution, but as stated before, not for generic users.

true that ...
I also own the Notion Ink Adam and we have this "switcharoo" feature enabled ( can check out that forum for info )...Hopefully DEV can implemented in the near future.

Can you explain a bit more what is the switcharoo ?
As for linux knowledge, I have some but everything I try fails reformating the internal memory in Ext4 is possible but there should be a script or a determine process to automate that for some selected folders, at least I would love to see that

It actually called "toggle app"
it actually out of my league as I am no developer
but this dev for the Notion Ink Adam managed to created a program to swith the 2 locations ( due to the adam's internal is only 8GB...etc ) among other things like toggling the cell standby...etc
He had it successfully implemented
this thread is his creation ( but it has been awhile and us Adam's owner has moved on to HoneyComb..etc
.. see the part included "toggle app"...etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987863
basically... it's about assigning a different mounting point as a startup script ( internal & external ).... but keep in mind... each device have different mounting name assigned as internal & external ( Xoom, Transformer, Galaxy...etc )
The DEV just basically created a program and went in and adjust the scripted so as to "switched" the mounting point.... switching the internal as external and vice versa
I just PM the DEV of that program... hopefully he will reply and I'll post it in the DEV section and ask the DEV there to dig into it
Then again... with 16GB or 32GB of internal... I don't see the need.... as the external can be use to hold music & large media.... the internal is plenty for apps.... then again... it's never enough. Remember how we used to thought the same thing about desktop's storage space ??? never enough ... LOL
Thanks a lot for you reply, hopefully the dev will reply that is the spirit of XDA after all

You can't leave the app on internal and just move the data to external? For example, I'm using Komik as a comic book reader and all the comic data is on my external SD card.
If not, that's a development flaw of the app you're using, in my humble opinion.
Im still relatively new but it seems that external SD card is for storage of media - not for OS, apps, etc. However, I seem to recall seeing an app or 2 that had the ability to store content on the external space. For example, a GPS app that asks where you'd like to store your shape files and assets or an MMO game that lets you specify where you'd like to store the textures and sounds.

It amazes me how arrogant some of the responses are to someone asking a question...
That is the purpose of these forums, so that us peers can assist others that might not be as knowledgeable.
I can think of two different ways:
1. Astro (or another) file manager to move the files. Might actually have to do a copy and delete.
2. Mount the tablet using the USB cable to a PC and suck off the files and copy them using a either a SD card adapter (notebook) or USB SD card reader.

A little harsh and uncalled for, don't ya think? Why do so many want to point out the failures of others.. even when they are trying to help? Sheesh..
I admit, I'm not a linux expert, nor an android expert. But that doesn't stop me from trying to be helpful.
The fact is, I've tried using the "mv" command to move a "Single file" from one device to another (no recursion needed for that, eh?) And it fails with a "cross-device" error. Maybe there is a option on the "mv" command that makes it work and I don't know it.. so I suggested a method that I *DO* know.

I wouldn't exactly call it a flaw.. more like a feature that the developer didn't foresee to include. Not all devices have external media storage, so apps are developed for the 'average' device.
As noted earlier, there are a few apps that allow you to store large data in other places.. (extra) Praise to those developers. It would be great if more developers considered this option, especially if they have a lot of data.
I just use File Manager HD ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd&feature=search_result ) to move files around if need be.
About being able to run applications from SD: anyone tried remounting SD without the nosuid,noexec flags? Remounting it with that and then symlinking the files might work.
We have progress

Hi guys...a friend of mine was trying to transfer photos and videos to his external sd card (3-4gb of data) and somehow the data didn't get to where he intended and now there's no trace of any of it. Looks like his system got corrupt too in the process cause he has lots of files in the lost.dir folder.
My query is that if anyone knows of any way to retrieve these photos. I assume that at this stage they were probably deleted. Maybe there's some kind of retrieval software that can be used?
Thanks in advance.

I would remove the card and see what can be seen on it from a PC. I would also change the suffix of one of the files in LOST to .JPG since I think they may be the lost pictures, as android drops files in lost when it doesn't know what else to do with them.
Last recourse is to try a file recovery app on the Sd card.

Google on pc restore deleted files. Can't remember what one I used but once installed on computer connect via usb and perform a scan on sd only or sd card too if you have one. Whichever one had files deleted.
This works 100% especially if you have not tried to add anything else to the system.

piriform.com has freeware to recover lost files on storage media. I used it some time ago after messing with a buggy app that left my ext-sd files in oblivion.
Or it could be my urge to test "promising" apk.
Anyhow, piriform.com saved my day.

During the transfer of data due to interface problem both the source and destination are corrupted so now you need an efficient data recovery software for the recovery of your data and files.
You can still recover all your data and files from that memory card with the help of Kernel for FAT and NTFS memory card recovery software which will do recover your data in a better way. It has a user friendly interface through which you can get preview your deleted data and files from that card and can save all at once or some selective files to your location.

hey.. try this..
1) connect your phone to the computer.. unmount sd card.. then remount it again..
if that doesnt work ... you could try this..
use a cardreader
1) copy all your data to pc ...keep it safe
2) Use the windows built-in chkdsk utility.
3)Open up command prompt (start->run->cmd.exe) and type
4)chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter>
eg:- chkdsk /X /F D: (d is my sdcard drive)
hope i helped!
Thank you for trying to help. The problem is not with the sd card, the sd card is working fine using card reader. I have tried using the same card with a different phone,and is also working fine. I might have triped a switch within the sd card slot or a program in the phone is preventing writing on the card. I have even tried to reflash the rom with no success. Any other idea?

you could format it from the phone.. in storage settings.. or you could use a cardreader.. connect to pc..and format it that way.. and cd drive is how the pc would show your phone.. if it isn't in usb storage mode.. so thats normal.. try the two things above.. but backup your data before you do
Then I'm back to square one. I had already tried formatting using factory settings, and phone explorer but the write-protect is still there. I will have to flash back the original rom and return the phone. Thanks for your help.

when you format your sd card on your phone you will still have folders on there as they are default android folders
on phone goto
phone settings
sd card and phone storage settings
unmount sd card
format sd card
on pc
right click on the drive you wish to format
click format
set to fat32
format
you can just delete any files on your sd card too if you want to remove them
note - if you have a 2nd sd card partition you will need to delete this in mini tool and then expand the other partition into free space or delete both partitions and create a new single partition
note this will not format any data on your phone like contacts apps stored on phone internal memory etc
My sdcard memory before. Format is 5.30 GB
After format it's 7.39 GB.
But I remove sdcard from phone and again move SD card on phone. The memory is 5.30 GB that I earlier have ...and I can't delete data from. SD card.and not renamed it....can't get files from USB through pc ....

just saying using reserved drive letters is not a good idea as windows could get confused - id change it to a letter of E or after
A and B are reserved for floppy drives
C is reserved for windows hard drive
D is reserved for cd rom drive
E and after is normally free for extra drives
might not make any difference but it may confuse 3rd party programes when it tries to identify it
ok....

my note 3 is dead. samsung told me the motherboard needs replacement. and on the same day my 64gb micro sd card stopped working. it says its damaged and needs formatting when inserted in a different phone. its doesn't even show up on the laptop when connected. so basically im trying not to lose ~90gb data. its heartbreaking. is there any way i can at-least try to save some of it
What happens if you insert the SD-card into your laptop and check for it via Disk Manager?
To do so: Go to your desktop and right click on Computer>Manage>Storage>Disk Management and check if you can find it there. Look at the lower part of the window (gray background) and see if you can see the storage there.
If you can see your SD-card's storage there you might have some hope. Though I can't really help you any further from this point but I can assure you that if you see your storage unit there you can save some data from it.

If the sdcard shows up in disk manager you can use GetBackData to restore your files. The software is not free but can be If you google. After you have restored the files you needed you can then format the sdcard.
I have only used this software to restore deleted files on NTFS formated harddrives but there is a FAT version of GetBackData.
you need to put in a sdcard reader on you computer and use testdisk to restore your mbr

I used many times and it's very efficient
Do not do any writr accesses to the card from niw on as it may destroy your data
to restore the filesystem ( error 'sd must be formatted') use the windows tool chkdsk | type into cmd 'chkdsk /?' and read the you will need
for data recovery use "recuva" its freeware
for both you will need windows and a card reader, also make sure the card is not in locked status

recuva wont open when my sd card is plugged in, but it opens as soon as I eject it. and then when I re insert it , it doesn't find the memory card.. CMD has so many options. if I select F, then it says its in use by other program

reboot your computer and use chkdsk /f /r
EDIT: recuva will only work when you have a working filesystem, cann you properly acces the file system on your sd, or does it tell you you have to format the card first (which you shd not do ofc)

Ok so I entered chkdsk e: /r It's been an hour but there's no progress. Cmd not showing anything either. Is it supposed to be like this.
