I'm not running CM10 but I can say that ROM is probably at least 150MB. Every nightly you download and don't delete is taking up space on one of your SD cards.
The updater app should tell you where it is downloading the files to.

Thanks so much for the reply. Its not giving me an option to install them to my external CD card and keeps defaulting It to my internal. Hmm

Just delete them after installing the next one and keep the current one on your card

OP doesn't know where they are, tho I believe the CM10 updater allows you to pick and choose to delete files.
OP: I'm not positive but I believe there's a directory made on the internal sdcard called cmupdater or something to that effect. I haven't been on CM10 for almost a month.

Links2sd

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

With Valhalla Final, L2sd, and absolutely no bloat at all, it's easy to keep that much free space. I move everything i possibly can to sd.

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

Why do you have to find a spare SD?
Procedure says process will make SD card a golden card for S-off. I might be wrong but it appears that the S-off command needs to get put on the SD card before it gets activated and allows root. Or is that wrong?

I also thought it would make my sd card unusable afterwards. However, that was not the case, you can use it with no issues.

ok, there´s no need to use a different sdcard. The hack kit does not touch the information in it and after the whole process is done it wipes de goldcard from it...you don´t need to keep either.
I have run the kit with my current sdcard and there´s no need to change it...make a back up just for precaution, but it does not format it....
Great. Thanks for the info. I did find a small 2GB card I can use too.

Yep, the only fact that u have to take into consideration is that the sdcard needs not to be corrupted...otherwise it will fails to work as a goldcard.

Anyone know how to fix the sdcard security issue?

Ever since I upgraded from cm10 to the jellywiz rom I have been getting "Cannot access external sdcard for security reasons." I paraphrased because I can't remember the exact wording. Anyways anyone know why that is or if there is a workaround for it? I have tried multiple ROMs and even changed the kernel but it didn't work. I wanted to try to go back to ICS then back to another jellybean build but I am not sure how to do that. I hear it has bricked a lot of phones. Has anyone had this same issue and somehow fixed it? I miss my music.

Sounds like you figured it out. Now have you tried formatting the card to see if it can be saved. Obviously after you back everything up, since your computer reads it.

What size is the sd Card

Cm10 external_sd

Im sorry if this has been asked before, but im on cm10 jb superlite, and my external card is in mnt/external_sd, and the poweramp cant find any music, which i put on the external card. So is there any way to put the external_sd back to its original place in sdcard/external_sd ? Thank you for your help

Go into power amp setting and change the folder. To where you put your music although I am a big CM fan that was one of the main reason why I don't use it that much. Anymore

Skyrocket detects external 32gb microsd card, but won't be read by...

I just recently purchased a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for my skyrocket, and it works perfectly fine.
The only issue i have is that the microsd card won't be read unless i use a file manager such as astro.. Apps like gallery or mxplayer won't read the microsd card.
This didn't happen with the 16gb class 4 micro sd card, so what is happening?
Anyway to fix this issue?

Mini Tools Partition Wizard is the program to use if you are on windows. Use it to format the card to fat32 primary. If that doesn't do it replace the card.
