Hi,
I just changed the mounting of the sdcard and emmc to be reversed. As far as I understand, the sdcard is "usually" the internal sd, and emmc is "usually" the external sd.
The biggest issue I faced was that everytime I reboot my phone, I'll have to remove and reinsert the sd card so that the sdcard is detected by the phone. After I swapped the mounting, everything went well. Is there a reason why the devs use the scheme?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm seeing this on CM nightly 204
haven't use nightly 204 but in stable CM7, there is an option called 'Use Internal Storage' under setting menu 'CyanogenMod Settings'->'Application', check it then internal sdcard would be mount as /sdcard.
Hmm... That's a good option.
Just wondering why the it is not checked by default.
I didn't have sd inserted at first, so *nothing* is working. Camera complains, installing apps failed, etc.
CyanogenMod reverses the sd and emmc mountain as the internal sd is rather small and external is typically larger. They do this since many apps do not offer a way to switch storage location. It is possible to switch them back and there is a tread on it but since I'm on mobile I really can't link to it right now.

I see, that made sense... Yes, option to swap it back is mentioned by hkkp.
But I still think it should default to sd as internal sd, emmc as external flash. Let user make the switch if they wishes to...

i use nightly 204, and didn't happen like you did. i prefer external sd card is default and internal to be external. because external sd is bigger then internal one and faster i use class 10

Odd... Must be some dirty data during flash. Could you check this out?
1. Go to Terminal / adb to the phone
2. type "cat /etc/vold.fstab" without the quotes
3. paste the output here
Could you also check if "Settings->Cyanogenmod Setting->Applications->Use Internal Storage" is checked by default?

Hey everyone,
So I was having issues with SD Cards earlier but I reflashed a different kernel and then went to Nightly build #28 of CM7 and everything seems to be alright.
My only issue is my External SD card is mounting to /mnt/emmc/ instead of /sdcard (or wherever its supposed to go) and that is giving me trouble with apps that require SDCard, as they think I dont have one.
For example, my camera app wont let me save pictures because "I dont have an SD Card", same with TapTap Revenge 4 etc.
How can I mount my external into /mnt/sdcard/ or wherever it should be? :|
Thanks.
If i remember well, this is the new way the external sdcard is and will be mounted. I have it that way too and never got problem. Can't you save on the internal SD ?

Idk, I was just having problems with my SD Cards, so I'm not really sure.
It says
SD Card : unavailable
Internal 1.78gb / 1.87 gb (Its supposed to be 16gb?)
Additional Storage : /mnt/emmc
5.44gb / 5.55gb (partitioned in recovery.. its an 8gb)
and whenever I try to download anything it says I dont have an SD Card. :\
So I have no idea when this issues started and it seems to happen with *all* roms I flash on my Captivate now. (I'm using CM10.0 at the moment). Basically the issue is that when the phone boots, it'll only automatically mount the "internal storage (1.46gb)" and my external 32gb sd card.
It won't automatically mount the user-data portion of the internal card (the bit the Captivate calls "USB storage" (13.03gb). However, I can mount it manually if I go into <Storage> and do it from there.
This happens all the time to me *unless* I have my external sd card removed. Then everything boots and mounts normally. If I then insert my external sd card, then that will mount normally as well.
But with both my internal and external inside upon boot, it won't automatically mount the "USB storage area" that I mentioned. That's the bulk of the internal sd card in the first place!
So how do I fix?

Is your external SD set as main? It seems like it thinks your external has priority.

Hello,
Did you fix this problem? Because i have the same on my galaxy s i9000 running CM10.1 Nightly from today (11/01/2012)
4 Day ago everything was fine, both sd´s were mounted at boot. But then suddenly ...bang... no int-sd (Usb-Storage), although i can access everything in CWM (int-sdm ext-sd, system etc.)
Maybe you know something?
Greetings, Strainhunter

Bumping because there doesn't seem to be an answer to this. Mine is doing the same thing. Running CM 10.1 RC2, 5-28 Nightly. If I connect my Captivate to my computer, then disconnect, it will mount the internal SD, but then the external SD won't be mounted. If I follow that procedure again, both SD storages will mount.
Unknown how the external SD can be set as main storage. How is that done? My ringtones are all on my internal SD card, and every time this happens the ringtones have to be reset. It's a hassle.
try this
power down.
remove sd card and set it aside.
boot the phone without the sd card. wait for it to settle down - like 10 minutes.
with the phone still on, remove the back cover and put the sd card in the slot, then replace the cover.
go to settings, storage and see if the card is mounted. if not, click mount sd card.

I'm not talking about the removable SD card. I'm talking about the internal storage.
I know. try the steps I suggested. your storage devices may have multiple mount commands that conflict with each other. try it.

Seems to have worked. Thanks!
my external SD is mounted but doesnt show folds
I have a problem with my external SD. It mounts fine, sort of. All the things stored on it are in the phone and usable but, if I go into Myers file manager, Root Explorer, and if I go to ex SD, there is only like four files showing. This is a 16G SD card with about nine gigs uses just for music and another three gigs used for miscellaneous apps and things.
They are in the phone. They are usable. I just can't access them.
Is this something to do with permissions? Read and write? It does the same if I move it to my other phone. Any help would be great. Thanks
I tried taking a picture yesterday, as it was taking my phone crashed and rebooted. Usually I don't find this to be a big deal, but when it rebooted the phone came up with a notification that "Blank SD card: SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem." When I click on that it says "Format SD card? All data on your card (under path '/storage/sdcard0') will be erased. This action can't be reversed!"
Although I believe sdcard0 is internal memory, I backed up my sd card just in case by plugging the micro sd card (32 gb patriot class 10, about 22 months old) into my computer and it read just fine, so I copied all the data off of it, formatted the sd card, copied all the data back on, and turned on my phone. I still get the same error and can run ES File Explorer and it shows all my data on the sd card in /storage/sdcard1 (although opening up the Gallery app shows "No external storage available" but opening up pics from ES File Explorer still shows them behind the message). Just to confirm, sdcard0 is the internal memory right? If I format sdcard0 will that format my entire rom? Am I better off wiping and reflashing? I don't think I have anything important on the internal memory.
I'm running cm-10.1-20130806 (waiting to upgrade to 4.3 when Bluetooth is working).

Wiping internal memory worked fine, thanks again for the help. I thought I would have more free time to try out your pac rom, hopefully I can get around to flashing this weekend.

Dunno what to tell ya. It worked for me the entire time while on vacation. Make sure to click bluetooth and go into the deeper settings and turn it on in there.
Hi,
I was using one of the nightly of CM11 and recently i updated my rom to 11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan, its really good works fine, and i felt its much faster than stock rom and the nightly. Well after installing this my recovery got updated to 6.0.5.1 and PhilZ Touch 6.59.0(CWM 6.0.5.1 - PhilZ Touch 6.59.0).
But the issue came up is, i can't see my Internal SD Card, if im inserting external SD Card, its getting mounted into SDCard0.
It was like SDCard0 as internal memory and SDCard1 as External memory.
Is there anyway to mount the Internal SDCard as SDCard0 like it was before?
I dont want to change the rom because its really working fine for me.
I dont have any issue to format again if that will get worked, but i couldn't see its working..

This is not a bug its a feature to enable USB mode for PC connections. The space from internal SD has been merged into data partition.

Oh is it so?!! Its ok but some app files are getting installed to EXT SD Card, like com.android.browser, com.andrew.apollo etc.
Isn't it possible to move to the Internal SDCard itlself? May i know the benefit of merging this internal memory to data partition.
I felt like its using 8GB for the rom and apks etc and still using the external card too.
First i thought it might be used for swap area or zram, so i installed this rom by removing the external card but still..!!
Is there anyway to move the android,baidu, data etc folder to the internal memory??

No because internal memory doesnt exist. Data partition is for app installs the folders you are referring to arent the apps themselves just user files that get created on install. It actually works well for me so far so i dont mind the change but i can understand why others wouldnt.
Try MrSteves final CM11 weeklies release as this has normal file structure.

I made my SD to internal
When I connect my phone to PC, I can only see the internal memory.
How could I see the SD or the sum of both storages
This happen to me in all ROMs with marshmallow.
Are you sure you are seeing the internal memory? When you format your SD Card as internal and you connect it to the PC you should see only the SD card. It works this way, you lose access to your internal memory. Try rebooting to see if it works, this happened to me some times.
I tried everything, but in which ROM are you?
Have the same problem. Upgraded to CM13, formatted SD as internal and now I only see the internal storage via USB/MTG. In settings/storage & USB I see both storages (8/3GB and 32/31 GB total/free), but neither on a Mac nor Windows I see the SD storage, only the smaller internal. Kinda bad, because there is not much space left on my internal and I can't copy music, pictures, files onto my phone.
Edit: Latest nightly ROM

I tried that storage option earlier, I think, if I remember well, you have to move your files to the SD card, through the 3 dot menu at storage settings, then it will set the SD card as your main storage. Hope it helps
Sorry for my english

Yeah, this did the trick. Moving to SD and reboot now gives me the full space.
