[Q] How can i permantently unmount my internal memory - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo all,
i have a little question. I deletet my "normal" data partition and sized my Data partition for the Apps up to the free space. Like in this Thread, but without having a Data/Swap Partition.
Than i switched my "internal Memory" and my external SD Card sothat the Galaxy Note things the SD Card is the internal card. Now look my fstab so:
Code:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun0/file
secure_format = enable
discard = enable
supported_exfat = disable
}
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# external sdcard
{
ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun1/file
android_secure_containers = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/extSdCard 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable
This is working perfectly, with only one issue. I doesnt have a real internal Data partition and because i switched that i doesnt have a sd card. But the phone always says that the SD Card is corrupted.
How can i unmount the SD Card? I tried to delet the "external sdcard" lines. But than my phone doesnt boot. Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you for your work!
PS: I'm sorry for my bad englisch.

Have anyone an idea?

This is my problem too. We want to hide or disable internal storage but external storage still work

If you disable internal storage won't every other app crash or fail to launch?

remember, that android system files also in a partition on internal storage,,

Swapping SD card mounts

Hi,
I have an 8G version of GT I9000 and I have an 16G external SD. Most of the apps try to use the internal SD card to download data and it is getting more and more full. Is there an easy way (an app, a mod, a script) to mount the external to /sdcard and internal to somewhere else?
I'm using Doc's V9 ROM.
Afaik CM6.1 uses a similar setup, but I am just happy with the modded Samsung ROMs in general and don't want to install it.
Thanks,
B
Still no luck...
I tried to tweak vold.fstab with some success. I could make the external SD mounted as /mnt/sdcard, but SD applications went away and Titanium Backup crashed when I tried to restore them.
So I'm still looking for some solution. I don't mind if I lose the 6G of the internal SD if I can use my external 16G to store Music, Photos, backups in it.
Any idea for a nice and clean solution? Maybe I should post this question in the devel thread?
Here is my vold.fstab, which does not work. Any idea what are the stuff inside the "{" "}" section? They don't seem to standard vold configs. Are they some kind of Samsung extension?
Other question related to this: I tried to modify the rc files in the root dir (after remounting it to rw), but they somehow are not preserved after reboot. I assume that it is something like a tempfs volume. What should I modify to get it persisted?
Code:
# externel sdcard
{
mount_deep = 0
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun2/file
asec = enable
mbr_policy = overwrite
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
# internal sdcard
{
mount_deep = 1
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file
asec = disable
mbr_policy = skip
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/internal auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
Thanks in advance,

[MOD]external sd card under /mnt/sdcard

For those of you that want to use the external sd card on /mnt/sdcard so you can have more space for apps2sd try this.
Try at your own risk.
1. download http://pastebin.com/34AeL00L and rename to vold.fstab
2. open up terminal and navigate to the location of that file
3.
Code:
adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
It worked for me, however i am not sure it will work for everybody because i dont know if the vold.fstab is created dynamically.
I would appreciate it if you could:
Code:
adb shell cat /etc/vold.fstab
and post the result here.
any one tested????? cmon guys
Is the external sd card faster than the internal one? Could depend on the class of the cards, I don't know.
But if it will show any performance boost if using the external that would be a plus
I noticed you cant mount both cards after this mod. Not sure why though.

Same result here. Even after restoring original file. Odd.
EDIT: this is how I modified mine. It looks like it is working (as of now, at least).
Code:
#dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc0
#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
Doesnt seem to work for me. Still wont mount both cards on my computer.
You should be able to restore the old file at least it worked for me that way.
and if you repartition the internal 5 gb sd, uniting it with the 3 gb (total 8 gb) x apps and remained free on 20Mega only 7.40 gb total? So that does not see the remaining 20mb that we care? So we could install ;-) Maybe all the externalSD 32GB ......
sorry for English not very well written.
For some reason both cards mount on my computer now. Haven't done this or anything at all to make that happen. My extern mount when i plugin without choosing to share the phone.
hahha my version is working now ů owned thank zou
any know how mount back it ?
sh*t.. does not work for me
would be great, cause you can`t install some really useful Apps like Navigon on external SD...
Gameloft Games can`t even not installed on external...
This is a really Problem, can`t understand that not a lot of people are discussing about this issue...

YOu mean its actually possible to make the Internal Storage and Internal SD into one "large" volume called Internal Storage?
I'm not an expert, I'm trying to mount the external sdcard in /mnt/sdcard/_External like it does in the stock rom
This is Cyanogen vold.fstab:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
With the mod in the first thread I can see only the external sdcard in /mnt/sdcard meanwhile in mnt/emmc there is nothing
Code:
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc0

[Q] SD Card Questions

Hi! And yes I did use search function but all result didn't really help me out.
I just bought this phone and I will replace mine HTC HD2, which I already miss. Oh well this LG seems to be a good phone but I have notice like many people about SD Card problem.
When you check settings and storage info you see that phone have partitioned in to two partition. One for I don't know Intern Memory? And second one seems to be for saving apps/games.
I now have a SD Card 16gb that I mount in and when I use USB connection I get 2 storage to play with, one is around 5gb I think that is phone intern memory?
And second is 14gb that should be external sd card?
I have install several games and apps but I really want them to be on external 16gb and not intern 5gb, I tried Apps2SD but it only move to phone 5gb storage instead of 16gb external. And I don't want to use CM7, I just want to use original firmware until they release 2.3.
Are there any solution for this?
I don't even get to choose where to install games/apps, they just install on phone and than I try to move with Apps2SD but it only go in to phone's memory.
//Cheers
May I ask why you want to do this?
The way this phone mounts your storage cards, you can only use the external card for storage. movies, music and such things, while the internal is used for applications.
the internal card is mounted at /mnt/sdcard, while the external card is mounted in /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. that way you access your external through your internal, and applications will see it as one card. Problem is, most applications don't use _ExternalSD explicitly, they all use the sdcard root directory and take it from there.
For most users this way is the preferred. They save music and such things on external and that way keep the internal from clogging up. 5,5GB for application data is more than enough for most of us.
This phone has a large data partition (1,4GB) where ALL applications are installed (this is android default, and probably nothing to do about). This partition will hold thousands of applications.
But if you would like to switch, it is possible by editing a system file. This will require you to install clockworkmod, preferably a version with adb support.
This may void your warranty, and there is always a slight possibility of bricking the device when working with system files. And I can not guarantee it will work.
I will tell you exactly what to do if you choose to try.
The reason why I want to do this is because I want as much storage as possible, sure 5.5gb might be enough but game like Spectral Souls just took around 1gb data to download. I mean it's kinda stupid not to use SD Card as storage for application also. That's why I kinda miss my old HTC HD2, I could move apps/games to my SD Card without using intern storage.
If there's the only way to install a custom rom I think I will pass.
I like to use it the firmware it come with, using Launcher PRO Plus atm and I love it. Fast and smooth. Oh well.... This is kinda annoying not to be able to use full out of SD Card. But thanks for the info.

You don't need a custom rom, but you need clockworkmod recovery to update the system file needed to change the mounts.
But I still don't see the reason why you need this.. your card is probably also waaay slower than the internal memory
anyways, here's the steps.
create a folder called _ExternalSD in your external SD card
install clockworkmod recovery, download a version supporting adb here on the forum
connect your phone to your computer via usb and make sure drivers are installed.
download ADB: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27197205/ADB.rar
extract archive, open command prompt on that folder
reboot into recovery by holding vol down and power until the second lg logo appears, then release both
go to mounts and storage in CWM and mount /system
run pull.bat from command prompt. you should get confirmation that one file was transferred
in the files folder inside ADB folder there is a file called vold.fstab. make a copy for backup. Open it in a text editor
i don't have the original vold.fstab available, so not sure exactly what it says, but there are two lines on the bottom.
They probably says (not necessarily in this order)
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto (and something more here)
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto (and something more here)
switch this part, leaving everything from auto where it is.
save file and run push.bat from command prompt, you should get a confirmation that file is transferred.
reboot and check if everything is OK. This should work, but if you or some reason get memory card errors after boot, restore the original vold.fstab and I'll look into it.
Hmm I get stuck on part where I run ADB on PC and use pull, it doesn't give me any file in files folder.
On command Promp:
C:\ADB>adb pull /system/etc/vold.fstab /files
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
111 KB/s <682 bytes in 0.006s>
That's what I get, but no file in files folder.

I see I did something wrong in the pull.bat file
it should say
adb pull /system/etc/vold.fstab files
Hmm.... What should I do now? I mean what should I type in command prompt? just pull? or more command? to get vold file.
Should I re-download your ADB? XD
EDIT: Hm I reboot phone both intern memory and extern memory doesnt show up.

[Q] strange case

please give some advices
can't manage mkfs ext2 in parted
Are you asking why the format option is greyed out? I think you need to unmount before formatting.
thank you for ur interes. As it shows no memory is available on the phone: external unavailable
internal unavailable
internal phone storage is 0.00b
even if i unmount the external memory

[Q] Internal Storage

Hi everyone this is my first topic, and I have a big issue with my Droid 4 (Maserati).
First I use the Link2SD app to get some free space in the internal memory and send some app's to my micro-sd card (8gb) but I dosen't work, so I get back all my apps to the internal memory and I erase the Link2SD app.
Then when I reboot my device I get a message "Internal Storage is unmounted" so I investigate and I found that could be a problem with the void.fstab file. So I edit the file to get the original code lines but after reboot I get the same message and when I try to see my files on the internal memory still show me the message "SD card is unmounted"
Please anyone can help me? :crying:
I also show you my void.fstab file

PD: Sorry for my bad english, im a noob trying to explain.
UPDATE: I also use RSD Lite to install the original Stock Rom but the problem continues.
Second update
I flash again with the RSD lite and the stock rom but this time I put out the microSD card and I finally get back access to my internal storage but I can't still get access to the Micro-Sd card and when I put it on the droid 4 I get the message "Sd card is unmounted"
Also If I restart the device with de microSd card In, I lost the access to both memories again.
Please I need some help.
PD: Sorry again for my english, Also Im speak spanish.

I've never run into an issue like this but if your internal storage works when your microsd card is not inserted, maybe it's a problem with you microsd card? Have you tried reformatting it?

Yes, actually the microsd card is formated to ntfs, I also try formating the micro-sd to FAT-32 but i can't mount both memories.
If I connect the micro-sd to my PC I can see my files. So I think the problem is with the void.fstab file I can't mount properly the external sd card.
New Info
I found a lot of info about my problem in the CheckRom forums.
It's from the member "Spider"
Sometimes the internal SD card mount point can get corrupted for a number of reasons, and your device will just refuse to mount the internal sd card no matter what you do to try and get out of it. You can go to mounts and storage and try to mount the internal SD card, but it still won't mount, once the mounting point is corrupted, its corrupted!!!
The main thing ive noticed is that people always use a wipe data/factory reset or they format the internal SD card in their attempts to try and get it to remount.
Well let me tell you now that you got no chance and your just waisting your time, in etc/vold.fstab down at root level is the script to mount your internal and external sd cards (see attached screen shot) now if this gets corrupted your device just won't mount no matter what you try to do to get out of it, because once corrupted it has to be over written in order to correct the codes in order for it to mount the sd card.
All three areas of codes the internal, external and USB storage don't have to all be correct in order for the device to work, but whichever area of code that is corrupted won't mount till the code is re written, as the mounting takes place during boot up of the device, and unmounting takes place when you switch off or reboot, its all done in the background automatically.
When you install a ROM these codes are written and remain in place until another different code that is not similar to the existing code is detected and re written, GB and ICS have the same codes/mounting points more or less, but Jelly bean is totally different, written in another way, hence the re pathing of the sd cards.
In GB/ICS the internal sd card path was /sdcard and on Jellybean its /sdcard0 its been re addressed.
For example installing a Jellybean rom on top of another won't fix or mount the internal sd card this way, you need to use a totally different base like go back to GB/ICS, or if your on a GB/ICS rom then you use a Jellybean rom, but what is more important is not to do a wipe data/factory reset or format the Internal sd card in haste, because you will lose all your data and personal files and it still won't mount up, so you lost everything on your internal sdcard for no gain.
When in a can't mount internal sd card situation you need to carry out the wipe method below
If you was on GB/ICS then you install a Jellybean rom
If you was on Jellybean then you install a GB/ICS rom
What will happen is it will re write the paths to the internal SD card and mount it upon boot up.

Click to collapse
So it's says the I need go back to ICS or GB .. but I found that Its not possible do that once you upgrade to JB
I don't know What tha hell I did but
Finally after a lot of flashing process with diferrente roms I get my sd card an internal memory back :victory: :victory:
I do not know exactly how to solve the problem, but is related to repair the mount point of the internal or external memory
I think that flashing with the lastest rom available in motorolas sites fix the problem because I saw a file named "emmc flash" inside of the zip so I think that fix the mount points. And that file was not available in previous versions.
So thanks to all especially kwyrt for trying to help me :highfive:
