Do I have to format as internal to get sd card to be writable to work with TBU and other apps?

Hi
Have a basic i9000 or maybe just general android question.
The i9000 has an internal SD card. I think it's mounted as /sdcard/sd.
I created a few files under /sdcard/sd before i put in an external SD card.
The problem is after inserting the external SD card. The /sdcard/sd is now showing contents in the external SD card. I couldn't find the files in the internal SD card until i unmount the external SD card.
Is this how android should work? Can i mount the external SD card with a different name (eg /sdcard/sd2) so that I can access both the internal and external at the same time?
/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.
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.

Using root explorer, I can not find the internal sd card. I can find the external sd card in /sdcard.
Anybody know where the internal sd card directory is?
***Nevermind, found it under /HWUserData.
Thats right.
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.
