So im having this messed up problem with CM9 Alpha 6, i have the vurrutkernel installed btw. So heres my problem. I can't access my external SD card (which is 16GB) from ES File Explorer, yet if I go to the CM9 music player (apollo) i can see all my songs which are on the 16GB card. If i go into storage, i see 3 things: Internal storage, USB Storage , SD Card (which says total space 16GB).
1. Why can't I access the 16GB card from ES File Explorer?
2. When I click move to sdcard for an app, it moves to USB storage but not my 16GB Sdcard.
3. How the hell do I have THREE storages? (Internal,USB,SD Card)????
I reaaaallly love this ROM but this problem is confusing me. Thank you very much in advanced to anyone who answers!

Basically the mount points are as follows..
/mnt/emmc = external sd card
/mnt/sdcard = internal sd
I cant elaborate why u have three storages..
Try using io file manager once to chwck if u have access to external sd thru /mnt/emmc and internal sd thru /mnt/sdcard..

Yes thank you so much, those mount points are absolutely correct. But i still have no Idea why I have a 3rd storage
Gonna full wipe.

Yes, i'm seeing these in Storages.

I just did a full wipe plus cache wipe and dalvik wipe but the third storage (USB Storage) is STILL there?!
We have 4GB internal memory in which 2GB is used by system and the other 2GB is available for user.The internal memory shown is system memory and usb storage is the user accessible memory.
Im sorry but that still doesn't make any sense.
I installed an app to my phone, by default it is on internal storage (1.8GB available) but when i click move to sdcard, it moves to another storage named USB storage, which has 1.5GB available, and my 16GB card is nowhere to be seen, other then in the Storage menu. And by the way, the 16GB card has 9GB available as I checked from my computer.
If you want to use your sd card then change your storage configuration from storage.

It would be helpful if you elaborate a bit, I went to storage and then pressed menu, the first option is already ticked for storage

Ok i went thru a thread in sgs2 forums and found this..
Wen u tick 'use internal storage' the internal mem (the one which is user accessible and not used by the system) is used as sd card (mounted as as sdcard).. in this case the external sd (mem card) is mounted as emmc..
Wen u untick 'use internal storage' the external sd is used as sdcard.. in tht case the internal sd is mounted as emmc and external sd (memory card) is mounted as sdcard..
If u now move any app to sdcard it will be moved to external sd (memory card)..
Try it out.. worked on my 9100..

hey buddy. The solution for your problem is so simple. Just now, I had flashed cm9 rom on my galaxy wonder. I get also same problem as yours. You have to //mnt. There you can see sd card and external_sd folder. You just click on the external_folder and its done. In my opinion, the folder for opening external sd car has been changed from usual. I hope this message can help you. bye
I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, it is rooted but I still use the stock ROM. I've been doing some tests to see if Link2SD would solve my storage problem. During these tests I noticed that all the big games I linked to the 2 partition of my SD card aren't really linked, as they still are inside the internal storage!!! After that I also noticed in the storage info that I have an external SD card, a SD card second partition and a SD card strangely similar in size to my internal storage!!!! (image attached to help undestand) Can someone explain this to me and possibly give me a solution!!!
No Problem with LINK2SD!!!

I'm using LINK2SD and I don't have any problems.
In fact I have close to 370+ apps (user) and except ENCRYPTED apps (~8) all are in EXT SDCARD 2nd partition.
It is TRUE whenever I'm flashing a NEW ROM - I don't see all those 360+ apps because 2nd partition is not mounted yet (because of new flash).
When I click LINK2SD it again re-creates mount scripts and I have all the apps again.
So far so good.
What I'm saying is that whenever I move a big game like Real Racing 3, Link2SD only moves a couple of MB's that are in the internal memory to the SD card's 2 partition, the 1GB of game data stays in the internal SD card!!! My space problem is a result of many games in my note, so I need to move the game data to the SD card!!
I'm a new Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 owner and need a few pointers on using link2sd. I installed it and understand that since our tablets don't support Apps2Sd natively that we have to move the relevant files to their respective locations onto the 2nd(exFat) partition of the SD card. I understand this however I am not sure how to do it since the tablet can't see this second partition(at least mine can't). If I go to Settings->Storage I can only see my main 16GB internal storage and the 1st(Fat32) partition on the sdcard. No other file managers allow me to see this 2nd partition on the sdcard either. With that in mind, how do I access this 2nd partition to move the linked files to the sdcard?
Dudes, you need to understand, that Link2SD and app2sd DON'T move the big app (game) data from the /mnt/sdcard0/Android folder to your external SD. It only moves the app itself. It was always this case, so I'm wondering about the hype unless you don't have a small app partition.
You have to use Directory Bind or FolderMount for moving big files to external SD. Or simply swap external SD with internal storage.
Hi.
I just bought a new memory card but realized that it is not being used by the mobile instead my mobile is using the emulated sd card which was emulated from the internal storage. How do i delete that?l

Don't delete it. Very bad idea. If you want to store pictures/music on the SD card, you'll have to choose that within the apps you use, rather than internal storage. If you want to move apps to external SD, you'll need to be rooted and use an app like Link2SD.

I am rooted plus i have link2sd but it says app2sd is not supported because my device has an external storage emulated from the internal one
So how do i move apps
Hello,
I upgrade my tablet with marshmallow. I format my SD card with option internal storage. When I go to the settings storage I see the internal storage and my SD card.
I don't understand with this option the internal storage and my SD card must be merged?
Thks for your help
Excuse me my English is bad
It is merged, but shows 2 storages. Basically, apps will be installed on both, with majority of space being used is on the SD card.
Unfortunately, some apps will install on internal storage, so you must move them to the SD card manually.
In this upgrade your internal store will keep app and sdcard will take data. This is old functions but it's fully support now. The best to using sdcard class 10 or I class

Hi All, i have my SD card formatted as internal Storage. So i assumed that until the whole space is used, i should not be getting the storage space running out error. I downloaded a couple of movies and this happened. Any help on how would i identify which partition is external one and which is internal one. One thing i know that apps are getting installed on SD card only. Just need to move some file to external, how would i do it.
