No matter I have tryed the new vold.fstab wont let me mount nand and microsd at the same time as internal and external sd.
If I mount microsd to /sdcard nand wont mount at /sdcard/_externalsd
Any thoughts or solutions?

Can you attach the vold.fstab and the build.prop please?
Sent from my LG Optimus 2X using xda premium
here are both
The only thing I managed to do is either bootloops or manually swap them by umount and mount but that breaks as soos as you connect it and munt it to pc.
here is mine , working on v20L
internal is now in sdcard/_ExternalSD
and
external is now sdcard

Nope the same problem with usb mode, I did some tests but I have not gotten it to work properly usb mode
The problem is that instead of mount the extsd, is unmounting when active usb lol
to see if we can get it to work properly, I have tried a few things but no luck for now
Is this change require root acces?

Hellow,
I flashed the FeadMod recovery v1.4 no OC and I want do make a nandroid but it says cant mount backup path.
when I go to mounts and storage and try to mount /sdcard it says: Error mounting /sdcard
I dont have a external sd card, all my files are on the internal sd card.
Anyone knows this problem? Thanks alot!
You cant mount /sdcard because you don't have an external sdcard. When you want to backup/restore go to backup and restore -> restore/backup from internal sd card.
Here's your problem

In short,
what should vold.fstab look like to link /sdcard/external_sd to the 2nd partition on the EMMC external sdcard? (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is a bad idea)
Background and why you might want to do this:
3 data partitions, how best to arrange? (/mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard & 2nd emmc partition)
My internal memory has shrunk down from 8gb to about 4gb, which is annoying but natural for flash storage.
This is no longer enough space for apps such as Sygic to store it's maps in.
Sygic looks in /mnt/sdcard & /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. These older apps are always going to be a problem so I'm looking to make /mnt/sdcard/external_sd available somehow. But which way is best?
I have 2 partitions on the EMMC sdcard and the internal SDcard is just fat32:
Internal SD = ~4gb, /mnt/sdcard
External SD partition 1 = fat32, ~10gb, /mnt/emmc
External SD partition 2 = ext3, ~5gb, currently used by link2sd in /mnt/sec I think

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd is unused.
I would prefer to do:
Code:
ln -s /mnt/sec/external_sd_emulated /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
...but presumably because the /mnt/sdcard is only fat32 I have permission denied. I was hoping this would work since the source for the link is ext3 even if the destination is fat32.
I could edit fstab to change that but I'd rather not if possible because that's a bit too non standard for me. If I did though... what would that be?
I guess it would be adding to vold.fstab:
Code:
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.[B]3[/B]/mmc_host/mmc[B]2[/B]
^ but should it be a 3 or a 1 at this line? fstab -l with no output and nothing in /devices makes it hard to figure out
I would normally experiment but in this case I don't want to get it wrong. How do I find out what /mnt/asec is mounted to because df isn't showing it
Just to show I have searched, a related thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941443
&
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524831
Also a note to anyone reading this; obviously backup your vold.fstab file... but also put it somewhere that you can access easily via adb and CWM recovery if it doesn't work. I guess mounting /dev/block/mmc... might work but that would then fail if the sdcard isn't present... which would be I guess when USB mass storage mode is turned on.
Some documentation on /devices on Android would be good:

Same problem.
I used Galaxy S 8GB and found that it's too less space for install many game.
So I buy micro sdhc 32 GB.
I added it in vold.fstab too but it seem like does not work.
Now I used workaround by run command.
mount -o /mnt/sdcard/Android /mnt/emmc/Android/
But it's not convenient to use because if you want to plug computer via USB you must umount first unless it might have problem when mount.
So If you can find solution to add it automount external sd (micro sdcard ) at startup same as internal sd feature please guide me.
Thanks

you're gonna need an entry to whatever the sdcard is but from /devices so it ejects properly. the thing is I I'm not 100% the syntax in my first post is correct.... the only way is to try it unless we can find a command that is equivalent to fdisk -l on linux?
An app called directorybind can do this bit running an app all the time isn't ideal and it crashes for me from time to time
Hi guys.
I looked for other threads on this matter but found only dead threads with no answers.
Is it possible to format the whole internal SDCARD to say EXT2 (no journalling) so I can symlink /storage/sdcard1 on to /storage/sdcard0/external_SD
I would try to busybox and format the internal sdcard but then I would be left without a recovery. I already tried modifying /etc/vold.fstab but managed to break the mount points went into an endless bootloop and without a recovery. This happened due to my modifying of both the mount points in there
Now I was thinking of modifying just the line mounting emmc on to /storage/sdcard1 but then again this would probably break /emmc and /mnt/emmc symlinks so I decided I could ask you about changing the whole FStype.
I have a Gentoo running on my laptop and I could always start dual booting my desktop if needed.
Also since right now on JB I should have trouble mounting external SD on the PC via PTP and I haven't tried MTP yet this whole operation if sucessful might leave me out of direct USB connection to the PC if the phone is not in recovery.
I'm currently on HellyBean 0708.
So do you have any input on my thoughts? I could also try mount binding the external sdcard also to /storage/sdcard0/external_SD but it would lead to more duplicates for the media scanner and a need to further unmount the card prior to every PC connection.
And I could try to modify vold.fstab to mount it straight on to /storage/sdcard0/external_SD and revise and edit the /sdcard and /mnt/emmc symlinks manually but I'm not sure if this will work out ok after all and if the location /storage/sdcard1 is actually important for JellyBean.
Please give me an advice if somebody has already tried one of these approaches.
Cheers,
Deyan
When I enter recovery mode, selecting apply ´´update from external storage`` the error !!! E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) !!!
how to fix this problem ????
There is an external sd card in the phone? Does the sd card work fine when the phone is booted normally?
No. .. when I put the sd enters normal! wanted to access the internal memory by his recovery ... before entering the normal without the sd!
You cannot access external storage without the sd card..
I want to access the internal memory!
Which kernel are you on? Stock kernel seem to see only external sdcard. Some kernel see internal as external and vice versa. You better flash PhilZ kernel which should help.

The option you trying to access in stock recovery "update from external storage" points to he external SD only. You need to use CWM for accessing internal recovery.
how to install CWM?
