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:

/sdcard/ seems to be the internal memory. where is the sd card mounted in the filesystem?
Look at the sd folder under the sdcard
wow that was a really dumb question.
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 has changed my internal sd card to 8GB Class 10 King max, but now The internal memory show that free 6.7GB, But unable to access through Root explorer. Is there anyway to create a partition 6.7GB in free space of my internal sd card and mount as Sdcard folder and mount External SD card as Sdcard/sd ?

If I remember reading correctly somewhere on here i'm sure it only supports up to 4GB cards.(Don't quote me on it though!)
Upgrading internal SD Card
You can upgrade to larger cards, but it requires some changes to the boot, your program space is still the same, the extra space on the card is mounted as another mount point, and accessing the mount point with the larger space is a pain.

Where should my external and internal sd cards be mounted?
Especially when it comes to things like these Google Edition roms and games like San Andreas that look for their data in sdcard/Android/data/obb?
How do you have yours setup and what is the most appropriate way to have it mounted?

I have a Google Edition phone running stock 4.4.2. There are multiple mount points and symbolic links for the internal and external SD cards. Here's what I have:
Internal SD mount points:
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/mnt/shell/emulated/0
/mnt/shell/emulated/legacy
Internal SD symbolic links:
/sdcard --> /storage/emulated/legacy
/mnt/sdcard --> /storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0 --> /storage/emulated/legacy
External SD mount points:
/mnt/media_rw/extSdCard
/storage/extSdCard
External SD symbolic links:
/mnt/extSdCard --> /storage/extSdCard
You should be able to get to the Android/obb folder using any of the internal SD card paths, but both /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb and /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/obb are mount points, so these are probably the best ones to use.
Hope that helps.
seems apks are installed to internal storage, then what is the function of internal sd card?
which kind of data would be save to internal sd card?
btw, it seems /data folder is on the internal storage, how can i move this folder to internal sd card?

It's kind of complicated.
Huawei's setup on U8800 goes like this:
/data - standard APK installation, all settings & other OS stuff saved in there.
/HWUserData - almost exactly like external SD card, but apps cannot be installed on it (if I remember correctly external SD was default).
The reason it was designed like this was to enable media storage without SD card in pre-ics. Nowadays, most devices use combined /data (/data used for both apks, and also media like audio, files). The reason /datamedia is used is to have the same space available, but you can use it for how you want. On U8800 we cannot do that (standard 600MB for /data, 2GB for /HWUserData in stock).
Oh, and since /data and /HWUserData are different partitions, you really can't move these around. They are mounted onto Android.
