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,
B

[Q] MiniCM7-2.1.9 a2SD problem

can someone please help me to set a2SD on MiniCM7-2.1.9 becouse i have big problems with that, i have set saving to external memory, also formated card to ext4, i dont know what is the problem, it transvers applications to SD, but not in ext4 part, but in fat
Thank you in advance.

Hey this is not a problem! when you set to save the apps in external memory the app sent to fat partition, because the ext4 partition is like extension of the internal memory. Set to save the apps in internal memory (the apps go to ext4 partition) and all is fine!

ok, tkanks man

Default SD partitioning

Can anyone tell me the dafault partitioning for the SD Card (the externel SD that is actually internal ) and for the "internal" internal SD card please?
I did 1024 for ext 0 for swap and 512 for internal and I just know it's wrong lol.
Cheers everyone.

[Q]Swap and app2sd

Hi!
Could You give me tutorial how to make swap and app2sd on SDE?
I think I have to make partitions. First with swap. And now one partition ext4 and there will be app2sd and my files or two partitions-first with app2sd and second with my files?
My card is 10class and 8gb
Thanks

1. FAT32 (for you own files - music, pictures etc.)
2. ext4
3. swap
create them in this order.

cwm can do that.

To make partitions on your SD follow these steps.
1.Make a backup of your SD.
2.Enter CWM recovery.
3.Go to advanced->Partition SD card.
Now it will ask you for sizes of A2SD and SWAP.
Set them as you want.
Its Done...
NOTEartitioning the SD will erase all the data on your SD card..

Difference between Link2SD and Apps2SD
Hi Guys,
I just wanted know the difference between Link2SD and Apps2SD.
When I used Apps2SD all my user application are moved automatically to SD Card. I don't have a choice to select the app to be moved to SD.
where in in Link 2Sd I have an option to move selectively.
more over when tried apps2sd on ICS ROM ( MiniCM9.0.4 ) it wont work. many forums says the apps2sd scripts are not supported in ICS due to changes of implementation of OS.
so which one is better ? why ?
Secondly which iotion is beeter for swap ?
Swap partition or Swap File
1. I know Swap partition allows to use even if phone is connected to PC where as swapfile will dismounted if you connect ot PC.
but if I use ReadaheadKB setting of SD card in devices section swap file will perform more faster ( as it was cached partially) vs. swap partion
( ReadAheadKB helps to perform sequential reads more faster )
even if SD card wear & tear is more with SD card. th cost for SD cards are down so drastically that one can afford the loss of SD card ( laugh: data on SD should be backed up frequently :laugh:
Cheers!

[Q] How to swap SDcard?

Hello!
Is there any method to swap internal storage and external storage (map external SD as internal)?
I see some posts about it, but all links are broken.
I just tried to install Omars rom, but realize that cant see any way to increase 4G of internal memory. This is very little for me and i dont want to go back to my old rom with many bugs but with swapped int and ext storage.
Please tell me any way to do this, thanks!

Swap, I'm not sure but maybe Folder Mount?? You can mount most folders from ext to int memory and it runs really stable. Now I have more than 10GB mounted from ext memory to int and I can see no difference to regular install in int memory.

Is Folder Mount something like Directory Bind app? I used it, but it is boring to mount all the separate folders for all apps.
Is it possible to mount tho whole android/data directory?

Never tried this but it has this possibility.
