NS4G storage not mounting - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone is rooted on the stock rom running matr1x bfs kernal. Haven't had any issues till one day when taking a picture it prompted that I needed to mount storage. Storage does show up when in recovery and eventually mounts after rebooting a bunch of times. Been going on for a few weeks.

SD storage issues after flashing.

Anytime I flash a kernel or rom or basically anything besides stock gb I have to reboot into recovery and select mount sdcard about 20 times before the SD storage is recognized. Kinda a pain everytime my battery dies.

No I'm pretty sure you can use internal memory

try the second method
Ok i can't get either method to work. I've tried editing it myself and I used your zip.
Whats strange is, I scrubbed everything with the g2x scrubber AND i wiped everything manually. I still get this stupid issue with the SD card and also, a Background from my previous rom loads up all of a sudden????
I know a lot of people got this working and all but damn, this has to be the worst rom I've ever dealt with in terms of getting this to work.
I was working on this last night, DO NOT MESS WITH THIS STUFF IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! I wiped the internal partitions and it took me a good 4 hours to get my baby back!
It's gonna have to wait till a ROM dev adds the function back into cm 9. I was trying to change all of the necessary files myself, i figured that the file system was close enough to Linux for new to figure it out, like spare parts did in cm7.
but it ended up in a real nasty soft brick.
Seriously, messing with your vold.fstab can f up your recovery partition and make it so you can't get into recovery, and you can't reflash it because the partition tables aren't there.

vold.fstab post

Could anyone give me a hand and post their vold.fstab? My external SD will not mount..... and before the flames start I have changed mmc2 to mmc1.... and yes I did save it.
For what its worth I have also Odin to stock froyo, heimdall to stock gb, heimdall entropy dd.... flashed community kernel, infusion a2 kernel, entropy DD kernals (3/4/12 & 11/27/11) flashed Zeus & R3velation... and finally heimdall to gb then heimdall entropy DD ... then flashed Zeus again... and edited vold.fstab to mmc1 saved and rebooted.... still no external SD....
I wiped and formatted the SD (fat32) on my laptop as well....
I'd just like to see the vold.fstab from someone's infuse with working external SD....that way I can compare and try to get to the bottom of this myself without a huge back and forth thread Thanks in advance. Flame away.

it's on the bottom of my vagabond op.
fwiw, you flashed the comm kernel onto a gb rom..may have borked your partition...start over?
Thanks for the reply Qkster! So I used heimdall to gb... and this time I did flash the second time with flash bootloaders checked. I then flashed the heimdall entropy dd kernel package (yours). BTW thanks again for the vold.fstab info... it matched my changed version.
Something strange I noticed in CMW.... if I go to Mounts and storage and try to mount /sd-ext I get
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Any ideas? I'm thinking something is borked somewhere.... lol... obviously
I don't mess around too much with the mount settings.
Some may be incorrect, idk.
I only use it to format certain things when installling a rom.
The mmc2 mmc1 switch occurs when you switch kernels from different source.
Froyo comm kernel are based on att stock
Our current gb kernels are based on rogers' source, their sd access is switched
When you can't access your microSD, check for the change in mmc2 mmc1

Get this... I get the above error when I go into CWM ... advanced....wipe dalvik cache.... as soon as I press enter (power button) to select wipe dalvik cache I get the error... crazier still if I select "no" after that it'll display "dalvik cache wiped"....
Something strange is afoot ... not sure if it is the left foot or the right... but it seems to be unaffected by wipes, flashes to stock (with bootloaders), etc....

that error you're tallking about is "normal" in cwm
mount e: error..doesn't seem to effect issues
Well i got hold of another phone with a microSD slot.... The card won't mount in that phone either....
Word to the wise.... Don't be an idiot like me.... ALWAYS REMOVE your sd card before using heimdall or odin!!!!!!!! Im guessing that's why the op's say to....
Crawling back in my hole now... Thanks again QKster!

try accessing that card in a pc or formating in a diff system..it may be re-usable.

Yeah... I tried that today. It mounts fine in 2 different pc's. I formatted it and tried it in the phone...no go. I used diskpart clean function and installed it... no go. I used diskpart clean and formatted it and installed it... no go. Works fine with my computers but no dice in the phone(s). I might play around with it in my linux pc and see what happens.... other than that I got nothing.
BTW I flashed vagabond tonight... not bad, not bad Though I'm going to stay on the entropy kernal
I'm such a flashwhore...

Yeah, that's my preference as well. I don't use HDMI, so I run Entropy's test kernel.
Imo, running with the stock kernel is intended for those who aren't flash addicts , love their HDMI, or for us to put it on phone of other people we may know that want some features but we don't want to come back to us for issues.

[Q] "SD Card Safe to Remove" every boot..

I formatted via windows, via recovery and via settings. Why is this message showing up every reboot? This started after I flashed that Harsh kernel.

Now the message came up even with my SD card removed before boot.
Had to format the emmc (internal sd) from inside CM7. Spent about 2 hours going in circles to get back to the beginning now.
Yeah that's how I solve that problem.
How do you format the emmc from inside CM7? I have this problem too. Thanks!
I'm on a MIUI rom based on CM7. I guess the option isn't on MIUI's "Settings" > "SD Card".... and I need an actual CM7 rom just to do this?

SDCard Mounting Errors with microsd inserted.

Hi, hoping for some help. I am running PAC-rom (latest nightly) and am encountering the following situation.
My phone and internal memory (sdcard0) works fine without a microsd plugged in.
As soon as I plug in any Microsd (tried a 32gb and 4gb and 8gb) the phone loads the contents of the microsd (external and sdcard1 I believe), but then sdcard0 does not get mounted.
Seems it only wants to run one or the other. I have tried searching and came across ideas of formatting etc, but nothing seems to get them to work together. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas?
Let me know if any additional information is required to troubleshoot.
Thanks!
Sounds like a software fluke ... Try falling back to the latest stock ROM ucmc1 via Odin and perform cleanup ... Wipe and factory reset. Then do a clean install if your favorite custom ROM following their installation directions from their xda page.

I'm also having the same issue. Have took it it re-inserted, wiped it, nothing fixes it. I'm running CM10 with twrp

I haven't gone to stock but have the issue on the latest CM as well as PACman.
I guess a better question would be whether anyone running these roms DOES NOT have the issue?
