The way the external_sd is mounted in ICS roms and above is different, for some unknown reason.
In GB roms its /sdcard/external_sd
In ICS roms and above its usually /storage/sdcard1
Its still able to be read by apps like Poweramp because they still scan both the internal and external storage. However some file explorers like Total Commander can't see them probably because they don't allow the user to go outside of the internal memory when exploring files, or in other words the file managers can't explore root folders (which is a shame because the only access to the external sd is through root folders).
There have been workarounds but I've never got them working.
Your best choice is to use another file manager app that does let you access /storage/sdcard1.

Hello!
Which version of SuperOneClick do you use?
The most recent version using zergrush-method to root might wok, but older version surely don’t work on the LG GB-Roms.
You should try this method:

Thank you Medizinmann....but after using the CM7 i cant see my internal SD card,only the external is showing....but the music and other things placed in internal SD are showing in music,gallery and in video list.......need help again in this......
Hello!
Yes, CM7 is handling the SD card differently than stock...
It prefers the external card since this one is bigger than the internal card.
You could either copy you stuff to the external card (either using a computer or file explorer like Ghost Commander or Total Commander ) or try go to settings > cyanogenmod > apps > use internal memory(instead of external sd card)…
There is a thread about stock mount fix for CM7 but I don't have the link handy.
I would prefer saving everything to external card anyway since it is a lot bigger.

I don't understand this

You must install total commander from play store and you should see your sd.

Not sure if I understand correctly... Are you saying that in all ROMs you have tried so far, except CM10, you CAN'T see External SD at all? This doesn't make sense... It is all about how the storage is mounted in a particular ROM, but both Internal and External cards should be visible on the OS level (some apps may have problems accessing one or the other, but that's a different question). For example, in a stock-based ROM I am currently using the Internal SD is mounted as /sdcard, and the External SD is mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD. Other ROMs, like CM10, may have different mounts, but any file manager should give you the access to both, as long as you know where to look...

That's the way it's always been for me... I am currently using a stock-based GB ROM, and I can access both Ext and Int SD cards from the OS, from CWM recovery, and from a PC when connected by USB (yes, they show up as two separate drives).

I think you should flash stock rom via smartflash. If your problem in software you will fix it. If reflashing willn't help you have problem with hardware.

I didnt say I had a problem... I don't need to fix it, I am quite happy with how it is, and want it to stay this way.

Use Q&A forum
And BTW, there is no issue with SD Card and 4.4. Read up on it and you'll understand how it works.
any one can help to work, it is not working. for exemple whennusing astro ican't copy or move file from internal to sd card, and i use aqua camera pro it can't save in sd , and other camera app

Maybe out of topic, then Sorry, but who have 4.4 can move the Apps to SD?
for me ES is not working on 4.4 but file commander that come with stock is working!!
Stock file managers are the only ones that work on kit kat for external sd cards, This applies to any phone running kit kat, only system apps have full acess to the SD card
so in our case file commander is the only file manager that works with the external sd card
System apps are also the only ones that can copy/move/create/delete or download stuff on the external sd card, unless they have their own private folder AND if you delete the app then all files in said private folder go out with it too

im using total commander and i have full access to my sd-card.
that said:
i love total commander because of it's two pane view mode and those useful plugins. i've used it since windows 95 on my PC, so i was happy to see, that there is an android version of it.
i don't know why it's never mentioned on xda. are there any downsides to it? ive never had any problems with it. it makes moving/copying files so much easier
edit:
here's the link, have a look if you like
Maybe I'm not the only one to come up with this solution but I use es file explorer and adownloader and I could not get them to write to the SD card so I downloaded link2sd and converted both apps to system apps which then fixed both apps write issues. It has worked for me has anyone else tried it?!?

[Q] Unmountable sdcards after flashing 4.4?

So.. I did what I planned for this weekend - installing the Carbon 4.4.2 rom. ^^
But I have a problem..
In recovery, when I select "Mount USB storage", my computer can detect both the internal storage and the external sdcard. But I can't move files to any of them. I can't even read files.
First, I thought this was a driver issue, but yesterday I noticed that I couldn't move Dolphin Browser's download location to ext sdcard.
It appears that the internal storage is listed twice in the storage directory, while only one of the links is working. The external sd however is listed only once and unfortunately not working.. :/
And by the way, any file managers work just fine. I have full access to the ext sd there..
Hope anyone can help me.

[Q] Cannot find internal SD Card after installing CM11 on Xperia SP?

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.
now using cm12.1 happily
