Was on the Lanlight Alpha when my sdcard became corrupted, now flashed to AOKP. Figured that it has nothing to do with the ROM, but more so JB itself and how our phone handles the sdcard when on it. Now have to use my external as my internal, but by doing this my camera app won't start up, saying "there is no external storage present." Tried editing my vold.fstab, but I guess I'm doing it incorrectly because it would just stick onto the loading screen when booting up and would never move on.
vold.fstab looks like this

I believe there's no reason not to mount emmc to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd in addition to the ICS default of /mnt/emmc
As a result I am thinking of appending (not replacing) the following line:
Code:
# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
But such a change can really mess up a phone so first I want to check a few things.
1) If we have a error with fstab will we have adb access at that point to reverse the change we've made or it it giong to have to be a case of nandroid restore only?
2) Linux can mount something to an area that is already mounted, I am assuming Android can do this too.
This person had a slightly different approach:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141750
Personally I prefer to keep the external_sd in vfat format because then you're more able to transfer things to&from Windows computers and even other phones. Bit of a shame as there are probably many advantages to ext4.
oops!! Ignore.
I would like to know too.

But when I introduced the code as above, my tablet stopped recognizing the sdcard, so I had to recover to an image before in order to recognize it again.
Any suggestions that it will not happen again???
You probably need to adjust my
Code:
/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
to the device matching your setup, something like
Code:
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/mt6516-sd.2/mmc_host/mmc2
because I'm on a i9000 samsung phone and your on some kind of tablet
Could you explain it to me a bit further????
What does any of the commands in the line mean?

It seems I found a solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511619
In brief
install a app like SSHDroid
on your desktop connect with putty to your phone so hook up your phone with the usb cable
login is or was "root" and password is "admin"
ls /dev/block/vold will give you some figures 179.0 179.2 179.2 179.8 179.9
ls /dev/block/platform will give some folders s3c-sdchi.0 s3c-sdchi.2 s5pc110-onenand
One can chose between several ways how the folders appear on a windows explorer folder
like a USB stick or a mediaplayer
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb results in the little walkman icon on your explorer
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb results in the appearing of a usb stick
mount is also a commando when given alone which will show you everything that is mounted
In the putty window i did a feel free to experiment
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
echo /dev/block/vold/179:9 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file"
This would result in the appearing of a USB stick with name sdcard on your file explorer in windows.
To make this flash persistent
Look if your rom has support for userinit.d or bootcompletehook.sh somewhere in /data
cm 10.1 has support for userinit.d
in /system/etc/init.d I found 2 files 00banner and 90userinit
vi /system/etc/init.d/90userinit is this
#!/system/bin/sh
# call userinit.sh and/or userinit.d/* scripts if present in /data/local
if [ -e /data/local/userinit.sh ];
then
log -p i -t userinit "Executing /data/local/userinit.sh";
logwrapper /system/bin/sh /data/local/userinit.sh;
setprop cm.userinit.active 1;
fi;
if [ -d /data/local/userinit.d ];
then
logwrapper busybox run-parts /data/local/userinit.d;
setprop cm.userinit.active 1;
fi;
now the folder wasn't there so
mkdir /data/local/userinit.d
in this folder make a file.The name isn't important
cd /data/local/userinit.d
vi mountsdcard
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
echo /dev/block/vold/179:9 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file
make sure you give rights to this file and the folder one can do that with es file explorer or probable
chmod 751 mountsdcard
I think that's it
This will mount your second sdcard (if you have one ) on your windows like a usb stick. It will do this even if your phone isn't completely started up.
You will not have to do a "mount usb" on your phone. If you do this anyway your first card is also mounted.
This is a neat trick to make your CAR find your music on your phone. If your car has a usb port and the functionality to play music from usb sticks.
Kind Regards

I WANT TO THE ARCHIVE stock VOLD.FSTAB for blu tank 4.5

Hi,
I'm currently having an issue with trying to set up my sd card to mount to use the camera/other apps.
I ran into the encryption unsuccessful bug, and am using the external sd workaround with partitions.
I've tried changing the vold.fstab with some guides, but it isn't working for me...
Code:

# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
This particular fix isn't changing anything for me either:
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
[/CODE]
I recently was able to bind /mnt/emmc to /sdcard/external_sd. This enabled me to use usb mass storage mode again (which hadn't been showing up when I plugged in my cable). However, I'm still unable to use my camera and other apps that require an SD Card.
I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 9.1 Stable.
Any help would be great, thank you!
Alright, I was able to fix this myself. Hadn't seen any suggestions for this particular fix:

How did you fix it ?
How did you fix it ? Changes in vold.fstab are not working for me. They seem to be ignored

Hi,
recently I bring back to life my SGS I9000 with broken Internal chip.
This all was possible through this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08
Now I have two partitions 2GB (system-Android) and 6GB to use as SD Card
The problem is there... If I edit the vold.fstab file as in the video, I can't boot my phone anymore it just stays in CyaogenMod.
Now I need help from you to tell me how to edit my vold.fstab file
There is the original one I just copied it from /system/etc
May you edit it for me?
Thank you everyone.

I have try many things and lost many hours and can't find a answear to my Problem.
I have rooted my Optimus 2X and have installed the rom:
[ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for LG Optimus 2X (p990) - Updated[Feb 28, 2013]
I want to use my 32GB SD Card for all my Apps but the internal memory of 8 GB is splitet into 2 Partitions
The First 1,48 GB this use the Phone to install apps
And a Second with 4,64 GB this is shown in every App as the SD Card but it isn't.
The 32 GB SD Card is listened but i can't move any Apps into it.
I have tryed many programs like Link2SD, Mounts2SD, Root All 2SD and have formated 2 Partitions 1 in ext4 the other in fat32 but nothing works.
Is there a way to made the internal Memory to one Partition and the Extern to the other?
In Root All 2 SD can i say that the App saves everything on the External SD but it thinks the Second 4,64 GB Partition of the Internal Memory is the External SD Card.
Can someone please help me? i try since 10 hours or more.
Sorry my bad english.
i have found a way now and it was very easy to do:
i have edited in the internal memory in the "etc" folder the file called "vold.fstab"
i have changed this:
