Anybody else noticing problems with SSHFS applications on the factory ROM? Total failure to mount on both SSHFSAndroid and EasySSHFS. Has anybody had success where I've failed?

For weeks now, I have been trying to symlink /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/eBooks to /mnt/sdcard/eBooks by entering this command at the Android Terminal Emulator:
Code:
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/eBooks /mnt/sdcard/eBooks
I always get a "link failed Operation not permitted" error. I've tried to got 'su' with the same result. Can anyone help me?
Help needed
Bumpty-bump... Anyone? Please?
RFS is a FAT based filesystem.. FAT32/NTFS doesn't support symlinks.
You could try one of the fancy lagfixes which convert the filesystem to EXT2/3/4, however, keep in mind, there is the risk that doing so may cause IMEI corruption or other problems.
Thanks, mate. I get it now. This was driving me crazy...

I have the issue that after moving from Eclair to Froyo, the "folder" link to the external SD card has changed which means my restored apps do not work.
Before the link was /sdcard/sd and now it's sdcard/external_sd. I still have an "sd" folder in the internal sd but now it's just a regular folder - how do I make it so it's a link/jump to the external card (which the external_sd folder is which again means it must mean symlinking or equivalent works.)
OK So I attempted to buy a game not realizing this was an issue.
SO Un-phased by this new information I created a 60MB cache.img formatted it ext2 and mounted it instead of the usual /cache mount.
This did not work for the marketplace.. it did however show there was more free space in the cache...
Any Ideas???
Is there something im missing.?
EDIT: yeah I should probably try copying all the data in /cache into the image first lol
I'll keep you posted.
EDIT2: there is nothing in it... ok Ideas?
This is a problem on all galaxy devices, there is no fix
So what is the work around? Can you buy the game with a pc them transfer it to the tab?
Hi everyone and thank you for being so active on this forum.
I want to apologize in advance as this post may be (yet) another "bricked" Nook kind of post. Although my situation seems interesting for whomever is looking for this type of intellectual challenge.
I think I read as much as I could but wasn't able to find anything yet that would be similar to what I'm experiencing.
First a bit of history: bought a Nook color (refurb), like new, running 1.2 stock. I was able to start it, set it up and register to B&N, no problem.
Created a CM7 (7.0 to start with) on SD, work great.
Created a 7.1 on SD. I could get pretty much anything running except CWM and WIFI. Now, trying to fix wifi, and I guess also CWM, I obviously messed up and the Nook would not boot anymore on SD.
Tried to boot on emmc … not working anymore. So, I messed up even more than I thought.
Tried to restore to stock 1.2 on emmc (using a formatted SD 1g w/ CWM 3.2.1) and at reboot, it fails with a "ipod-like" icon "Failed to install" message.
Tried to restore to 1.0.1 stock. The Nook will boot but when I go through the setup/register process, it fails after the wifi connection settings with an error telling me to call B&N support. When I look at Device Info at this point, it says "Serial number / Model / MAC" are missing … hmmm.
Now, I tried to recreate a CM7 on SD but the process fails at the end with a message:
init: Mount returned errno=19
FAT: invalid media value (0x00)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev mmcblk0p2.
init: Mount returned errno=22
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
and reboot over and over.
Where I stand right now. I was able to install nookie froyo on emmc. Works (kinda). And I'm trying all I can to fix my issue which I suspect to be with /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as I get the message in dmesg and the stock 1.0.1 would tell me that serial / mac are missing.
I have adb running. With nookie froyo running, I can get into the Nook and mess around. I'd like to try some e2fsck but can't find the tool for froyo.
Before that and before I try again with CM7, I'd like to have (smart) people ideas about this problem.
Any suggestion is welcome!
Thanks for reading.
Sorry to bother. Any idea anyone? It really looks like a problem with /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. The 8 failed restore process won't work as it's obviously not able to mount mmcblk0p2 on to /rom.
I tried manually doing a bunch of repairs but nothing will work. The mount gives me a:
mount -o dev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /rom failed: Invalid argument
I know that this partition contains device specifics but would anyone have something to share so I could dd into it to see if this is my problem?
Thanks anyway.
solution
All right,
I got it! For the community if anybody runs into the same problem, here is the story.
So, /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 was definitely corrupt. I had to use parted to fix it.
Using parted, this particular partition would not show as "fat32" as it should. I created a FS on this partition (using the mkfs sub-command). It erases everything in this partition but at least it fixes the corruption. After that, I was able to mount it over /rom. It as empty of course.
Restoring a 1.0.1 stock then trigerred the factory reset that I wasn't able to trigger before (the Failed install message) and now I'm able to reboot and go through the setup/registration process again. wow, not fun for a first pb.
Next step, update to latest stock and then will redo my CM7 testing on sd.
Thanks everyone for listening ;-)
mmcblk0p2 error
Thanks, you saved me a lot of time.
Hey there, fellow users,
Earlier this week, I went through the process of installing Arch Linux ARM on my Touchpad (it already had CM9 and webOS.)
About midway through, I had to unmount /media/internal. Umount returned that the device was busy, so I ran fuser -vm /media/internal and found that pid 13093 was using the file system. Sadly, I didn't notice what the name of the process was when I killed it...
Yesterday, I booted up CM and got the "Damaged SD Card" message. After a little trial and error, I remembered /media/internal. So I booted into webOS and listed the contents, and there were all of the Android files. Then I tried to remount the partition. I got this error:
mount: mounting /dev/mapper/store-media on /media/internal failed: Device or resource busy
So, is there anything I can do? Do I have to backup the files and reinstall CM?
Thank you.
I guess I wasn't clear.
The virtual SD card in CM won't mount, and won't format. It seems to mount in CWM, though. It is represented by the file system /mount/internal in webOS. Also, all of the music in webOS disappeared.
Is there anything that I can do to get the SD card and the music back?

If you're having problems with novaterm, there's a good work around in page 12 (I'm pretty sure that's where it is). This guide has helped me a couple of times already.
Good luck.
[Q] Getting "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD Card" error with multiple apps.
My TF-701 is dead stock, no root, no ROM and lately I've been getting an increasing list of apps failing to update with the error "Couldn't install to USB Storage or SD Card".
It started with Aldiko Premium, then RealVNC and now Pocket Admin.
I tried uninstalling the first two and now I can't even (re)install them as I get the same error.
Has anyone else been having this issue?
Does anyone know the cause?
Is there a fix or workaround?
Asus Transformer TF-701 (K00C) running stock Android 4.4.2
Kernel - 3.4.66-g96e53b8
Build number - KOT49H.US_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711
UPDATE: Unmounting and removing the microSD Card does provide a workaround. It seems to me like this is a programming error in the app, probably some incorrect path checking when there is a microSD Card installed. I almost wonder if there is some change in Android L that some developers are adapting for but are breaking backwards compatibility by doing it incorrectly?
Screencap of the error attached
I sometimes had the same error message. For me the installations went fine when I removed all SD cards (SD-Card and MicroSD card) before installing/updating the apps.
Yeah, I get this too. Popping out the MicroSD, and then hitting install seems to temporarily fix the issue. I'm guessing that there is some code on the install/update of some apps that check something on external storage, and the 4.4.x stuff blocks that, and therefore fails as saying it couldn't put something on the SD card. This only happens with certain apps. However, if I uninstall the app, format the SD card, reboot, then reinstall the app... It still does it. Therefore it has to be something to do with the apps and possibly their install routines or their declared permissions.
At least this is my guess. I haven't bothered to trace this stuff, nor anything further.
