hi
I would like to mount an ext4 partition of the SD. If I mount it with a terminal emulator, I can only access it with the terminal-app. Is there a way around this?

What's the console command for deleting the contents of the ext partition? (\system\sdcard)
Can you reformat the ext partition from the recovery console?
Thanks
If you want to delete the contents of your /sdcard then in recovery console mount /sdcard then rm /sdcard/* should do it for your fat32. To clear your ext3 do in recovery console mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
I am trying to mount my SD card via console in recovery, I get
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument
Any ideas whats wrong?
In recovery you can try:
mount -a
to just mount everything. Try that out.
Are you trying to copy files to the sdcard or the extX partition? It looks like the ext partition because that's blk0p2...
The sdcard would be ums_enable.
help me master in this,where setting auto install app to external storage in [ROM] MiniCM9-3.0.0 [1/4/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9 port for the Χ8...
please help me master
i thinks there is no such feature because i cant find also...try app2sd application
there is app2sd script in /etc/init.d
you just need to create a new file in /sd-ext
.a2sd or .dc2sd
then simply reboot. after reboot you can check by typing mount on terminal
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=15,barrier=1,data=o
rdered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data/app type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=15,barrier=1,data
=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data/app-private type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=15,barrie
r=1,data=ordered)
I've edited vold.fstab so that sdcard and sdcard-ext are swapped. But this doesn't work on my XT894. Nothing happens in my case.
Then I found this topic.
In short, you run a script containing:
Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/sdcard
busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/sdcard
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:97; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/extSdCard
fi
After running this script the result is that both sdcard and scard-ext are in fact pointing to my external 32GB card. So in a way I'm happy. Now I can install games and all navigational maps without any hassle. But, I would like my internal 8GB of storage back. To do so I take it "something" has to be mounted to /mnt/sdcard-ext.
My Linux/Unix is of n00b quality so here I am asking for help :cyclops:
I've tried adding these two lines:
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard-ext
busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard-ext
Hoping 179:1 pounted to the internal sdcard and /mnt/sdcard-ext would mount it at exactly that. But it didn't work.
Can anyone explain to me what these commands do? Why vfat and exfat? Is this done so that you always mount the correct filesystem? And what about the vold/179:xx? Does anyone know which one points to the internal sdcard on an XT894 running ICS?
Trust me, I've Googled all I can. I have tried several options, multiple scripts, but my lack of Linux/Unix knowledge is killing me.
Edit:
When I connect as USB Mass storage I get my internal 8GB back. It is accessible on the laptop. When I switch back to MTP it shows a different directory (maybe due to vold/179:1 !?). After I re-run the script sdcard is back to my external 32GB. For now this will do.
I will update later. Sygic is downloading 2GB of data. After that I will switch back and forth between USB M / MTP with and without running the script.
Edit 2
After I connect as MTP, Internal Storage seems to be pointing to an unknown space. There is an .android directory which I am unable to find on the phone.
When I switch to USBMS (from MTP) it seems to switch back to the original setup, sdcard 8GB and sdcard-ext 32GB.
When I disconnect the USB cable everything is back to normal. But, all I need to do is re-run the script and sdcard points back to my external SD.
Hi:
I've messed up my Note 9 pretty bad, such that no partitions mount in TWRP except cache - I'll need to do a data wipe, but I need to save data that I have in the Internal SD.
I've discovered via fdisk in TWRP that the media part - the Internal SD is partition sda25 - however can
t mount it in the terminal through a simple: mount /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
I get an error: mount failed: Invalid argument
I've tried: mount -t sdcardfs /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
This gives me also an error: mount failed: Not a directory
Mounting with -t vfat or exfat gives the Invalid argument error.
Anyone can help me with how to mount it, so that I may copy data off of it manually? I don't want to lose it. Many thanks.

cant you simply wipe the affected partitions(except data of course)? then flash a rom?
have you tried;
mount /sys/block/sda25 /mydata
or
mount /dev/block/sda25 /mydata
or
adb
mount -o rw /dev/block/sda25/data /mydata
in both cases /mydata is just the mount point so I believe it can simply be called what ever you want including just /data
have you read:

edit:
by any chance when you first flashed twrp, did you forget to format data?
if yes then flash back stock AP file(original phone's firmware) in Odin AP slot only and you should be good to go.( you shouldn't loose any files in internal storage)
