This seems to be the best solution if you just want to stock mounting in cm7, I don't know if build.prop changes with every new nightly so you'll probably have to edit it after every flash.

SOLUTION:
1: Create a folder in your internal SD Card (in my case "ExternalSD")
2: Edit vold.fstab:
Code:
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
3: Edit /system/build.prop
Code:
# Mount the internal SD card, too
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD
your external sd card is now mounted inside internal sd card. If you go to settings/storage, it will come up as unavailable, but the external content is inside your selected folder

After that you can mount external sd as a folder of internal by using this command in terminal emulator:
Code:
mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
The problem is that it can't survive boot and you have to write this command by hand every time. I tried to make it run on boot by adding the command in \system\etc\init.d folder as a text file but it didn't work, although it should.
Any help is welcome

That's why it didn't works!
Thanks for bring it up! I hope someone will help you becouse the way stock roms mount sd card is way better!
pushing it up, since this here is an interesting topic. It does indeed make more sense to mount sdcards like the stock roms mount it...
Hopefully someone can figure this out.
Also i noticed that if you do not mount emmc/_ExternalSD it gets recognised by the pc and otherwise not. This could be coincidence since i'm struggling hard with mounting my sdcards to my mac...
Unfortunately you are right, after this trick pc can only see the external sd card!
Maybe this isn't the right way to do it or somehow it needs to automatically unmount before you connect the phone on pc and then on disconnect remount it again.
Sadly my knowledge is limited, but I think that a real developer can do it in a heartbeat.
I'm not a real developer, but I remember that the modified fstab has to be put inside the kernel ramdisk.
I have found these two perl scripts somewhere on the net. They can be used to extract and repack the boot image. Could be possible that the base address has to be modified to work on the O2x, haven't tried it myself yet.
Zip including the scripts are here:

This is easy peasy lemon squeezy . For me at least since ex-dev.
Instructions:
Get root explorer (cba giving adb commands on my phone)
Mount r/w
Go to etc/vold.fstab
Mount r/w again
Long press the file and click open in text editor
Now at the bottom swap the mounts. Sdcard to /mnt/emmc
And
emmc to /mnt/sdcard
Save and exit.
Delete backup and reboot.
I will post a flashable zip if you want soon.
DONT FORGET TO THANK ME!
EDIT: just read first post properly. It should work on every boot. It is for me on my g2x. Try my easy method
The problem is that I can't find a way to mount external SD in "/sdcard/_externalSD" from vold.fstab where /sdcard is internal memory, just like stock rom.
It should be possible...

I've already tried that. I can't understand why people are not interested in this
yeah, there are almost no applications which can use /mnt/emmc. So 1 partition is almost useless at current situation.
Any progress?

if you want to test it (please do a nand backup before!), than try my kernel and add the -internal flag to it.
Download this
rename to vorkKernel-080611-internal.zip
and flash it.
It is untested, because I don't want this behaivour and I made it because a user requested it. So no gurantee that it will work etc.
Bennee:
From what i see in vold.fstab file in the flashable zip it only swaps paths...
Any luck mounting external sd in "/mnt/sdcard/_externalSD" ?

there is a additional mounting script + some permission fixes. Should be called on every boot up (mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD).

But it doesn't... _ExternalSD is empty with your kernel.
[METHOD 1]
From your galaxy mini, go to Settings > SD card and phone storage > Unmount SD card > Format SD card
[METHOD 2]
1. Save your data from your SDcard
2. Download & Install EASEUS Partition Master
3. Open the EASEUS main screen. Here you have 2 partitions: normal sdcard partition and the EXT with *. Delete the FAT partition and create a new one as in the Untitled3. Apply.
<Apply this method if doesn't work the first or if you haven't sgm>
Thanks for the tip

But after some days I feel to reduce or remove the second partition from sd card with the help of "Aparted.apk" I got a error notification always that " Your sdcard not unmounted correctly " I can unmount sdcard (normally) from setting but this not work for second partition, so is there any way to remove second (ext2,ext3 or ext3) partition from Android phone, or any other method....., my pervious 16gb sd card sdcard also got damaged during this process even I tried minitool partition also once but not working, give some suggest from your experience guys, I needed help regarding this topic

well, than you have to try using an external SD card with 2 partitions to get phone working ( most likely needs a technician to remove internal SD card and use only external SD card. I am not sure if there have a modified kernel for this device and if any i9000 ROM can be used, if possible than you can use speedmod kernel to get phone working, so PM those who have threads about SC 02B about it.

I've used an app which has accidentally attempted to format my storage. I think it died mid way though. Now, in CM File Manager, and when I connect to a PC, sdcard0 is no longer accessible. How might I resolve this?
Perhaps sdcard0 could be revived be following these steps?
Settings -> Storage -> USB Storage -> Erase SD
(assuming "USB Storage" is sdcard0?)
Any help much appreciated.
I am using CM11 nightly (20 Dec build).

USB storage mode will allow you access on all Drives (SD cards) you have, so you can use PC to copy, edit, format etc. You do this direct from Phone settings or via CWM mount USB storage command. Anything to do with SD card read this for guide

"mount USB storage" doesn't seem to do anything. And seperately trying to mount sdcard0 gives an error.
I guess next thing to try is "format sdcard0". But I'm not sure which filesystem to choose: default, vfat, exfat,ntfs,ext4,ext3 or ext2?

did you try to uninstalled the app you installed that caused this , cleared its data and cache? Since it says Shared-unmounted, it would be linked to something that you had installed. Also you can try settings menu > Storage to see if you have a mount feature on it,

OK some progress, I've booted back into the phone and sdcard0 is now accessible via File Manager.
Can't seem to get mounted via USB though - usually I just plug in the USB cable and it asks for me for confirmation to connect. I'm still set to UMS, not sure what the problem is now.
And yes, the app was uninstalled long ago. (FWIW the app is GateWay Flash http://gbatemp.net/threads/app-gatewayflash.358753/ which just attempts to write files "raw" onto the SD card (i.e. from sector 0, ignoring any file system).. unlucky for me it was incompatible with my phone and ended up writing to sdcard0 instead of the external sd card)

Easiest way to would be to get back (downgrade) to stock gingerbread ROM, using a PIT file to repartition the partitions, like here . After that upgrade gradually to Kit Kat again. I think, something messed up the system .

Hello!
On lollipop i could use link2sd, but on marshmallow when i try create script i get message "mount: no such file or directory". How I can repair this?
My phone is Karbonn Sparkle V
Use memory card as internal memory in Marshmallow (warning: it will format your memory card so prepare a backup of your data). Better than link2sd but a drawback that you cannot remove sd card and use it on another mobile and also custom recovery cannot mount your memory card
I don't want to use a internal memory in Marshmallow (apps dont have access to sdcard and it can't download files for example games).

This is the one:

Is it also not working on CM13 or CM13 supports move app to ext sd.
I tried different mount scripts/command with no luck. It looks like during start Android is trying to mount sdext as FAT and is blocking Link2SD.

Found a workaround that works for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I found a workaround to make link2sd work on android 6.
The first time I installed and ran link2sd, during the creation of the boot script an error was raised about a missing /dev/block/vold/179:18 device.
So I logged in with a terminal and discover that the device in vold is no longer called 179:18 but public:179_18.
I created a symbolic link with the 179:18 name that points to the new device name, recreated the mount scripts and I have now the second SD partition automatically mounted and working to move apps with link2sd.
I sent an email to the app creator, I hope he can fix the issue now.
Below how I did:
- Write down the name of missing device from the error raised by link2SD when the mount script creation fails (eg. for me: /dev/block/vold/179:18)
- Open a terminal to open a local shell.
- Log in as the root user ("su" command)
- Change to the device dir and list the present devices.
Example for me (/dev/block/vold/179:18):
Code:
[email protected]: / # [B]cd /dev/block/vold[/B]
[email protected]: /dev/block/vold # [B]ls[/B]
disk:179_16 public:179_17 [B]public:179_18[/B]
[email protected]: /dev/block/vold #
- Identify the new device name: if for example the device name was "179:18", now the new one is "public:179_18"
- create a symbolic link named as the missing device that point to the new device name (replace the name with your device):
Code:
[email protected]: /dev/block/vold # [B]ln -s "public:179_18" "179:18"[/B]
- DO NOT REBOOT YET
- if you list files you should see the new link:
Code:
[email protected]: /dev/block/vold # [B]ls -l "179:18"[/B]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 19 11:11 [B]179:18 -> public:179_18[/B]
- Open the link2SD app and from the menu choose "Recreate mount script" and accept to reboot when the script has been created.
link2SD should now be able to create the mount script.
When you reboot your device, the symbolic link that you created is deleted, but in my case the app created a mount script with 2 mounts:
- The first with the device using the symbolic link (that will fail because the link is gone)
- The second with the physical device (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2) that will successfully mount the 2nd sd partition
So, if it's the same for you, you will not need to modify the mount script.
The only issue (but not that annoying) now is that at every reboot android see the 2nd SD partition as corrupted and ask you to format it: I simply ignore it and dismiss the notification (If someone knows a way to make android ignore a specific disk device, let me know)
I don't know if this can work on all devices, I only could test with my galaxy tab 3.8 with A Bliss ROM.
Let me know if it works.
Manu
Will try it asap and report back, @wmanux! Did almost the same already but with a hard link (ln ... without the -s option) but it didn't work. Can you elaborate the difference a symbolic link makes?
Thx ahead bro!
