I keep getting errors when trying to partition my SD for use with Link2SD. Sometimes the computer won't create the partition, and then when it does, my phone won't mount the SD card in general. I'm getting kind of annoyed, hahah. Help?
Also, my computer's card reader is busted so I have to do it through USB mass storage mode. I'm running Bobzhome's ICS CM9 ROM which I flashed yesterday, and before that I had Harmonia 2.09.

Copy your data to pc.
Format your card and try partitioning through recovery.. simple!
It's been solved. My phone obviously hates CM9, so I went back to CM7 w/harmonia and everything is perfect again.

ROM has nothing to do with your partition problem.
You can still use CM9 without any partition. If you have issues with USB mass storage on CM9.
Install latest USB drivers in pc.. it'il work!!

Is anyone having usb mass storage issues? before i flashed this ROM i could access all of my files, now only a few folders show up and like .android_secure android.
do i need new drivers?
EDIT: when I plug the phone in its only mounting the /sdcard folder
before I flashed the ROM my phone connected as 2 external drives, one was just /sdcard, the other I could access all folders and files in the phone
Nope working great for me..
I noticed that it says only the sdcard is mounted in the mass storage screen. Was this the same for froyo? because I could access everything (split in 2 drives) from my computer before
I like the fact that I can access external and device memory through my computer. When u update to gb you can kiss that goodbye. Gb is great but its small things like that that will keep me with froyo

I had the same problem. All I needed to do is just pull out the microSD card while the phone is still running, and put it back in. I havent had an issue with this after that.
I deleted my LG drivers while using CM7 and now it works great. Pulls up both SD cards.

I am having the same issue. I am going to try the suggestion of removing and re inserting the sd card while the phone is on.... hopefully it works, or I will have to go back to froyo...
update: tried it, and while it does remount the sd card so your phone will read it, it's more simple to juist go in to setting and remount it from there. This still doesn't fix being able to read the sd card through mass storage mode.
I don't have that problem, I don't know how many LG drivers I installed until I find out that's my USB port's fault, just plug it in another USB port...

so I swapped out the g2x - rooted the new one, installed the gb leaked update and again I am having the same issues with it unmounting the sd card when i plug it to the comp and enable mass storage mode. So now it's the same issue with two different phones. Those who are having the issue , what type of memory card are you using because that if the only constant I have. I am using a patriot 32gb class 10.

The sd-ext in CWM actually isn't what you're thinking it is. In CWM, SD-EXT is referring to one specific folder on the external SD card, not the whole card, and if that file isn't there, it throws up that error.
If you can see your external card by putting it in an adapter and hooking it up to your computer, I'd suggest moving everything off the card and onto your computer, formatting the card (FAT32, I believe), and then putting it back into your phone.
See if that helps.
Hey man.
It did not work!
The ext-sd didn't apears, even, at the configuration menu.
When i connect the celphone to the computers, appears only theo original sd.
I'tryed a friends sd, but it don't read to.
I thinking that is a hardware issue.
What could i do?

I'm not sure how drastic you want to get, but if it's not reading any external microSD cards, you could back up everything on your phone, then flash back to stock and do a master clear. That might set right whatever is messing up. If that doesn't fix it, you might have a hardware issue on your hands.
Thanks for the help!
I'll try this as soon as i can, and post the results in here!

I think I have the same issue. Sometimes it randomly pops up saying "blank SD card" or "damaged SD card" message. And I have to reboot to get the card to work again. And it may fail randomly later. :/

What size/class sd cards are you guys trying to use?

Do you have an adapter for the MicroSD that you could use to put it into your computer (outside of the phone) to test and make sure it's good?
I experienced the same erratic behavior with a new 16gig class 4 SanDisk. But, my 8gig class 4 SanDisk works perfectly. I'm running MIUI,btw. When I flash back to stock kf1, they both work perfectly.
I was running CM 10 (with link2sd and directory bind) and all of the sudden the external SD stopped showing up. I tried everything from rebooting to switching ROMs. Nothing helped. I tried a different SD card and it worked perfectly. It might be something on the second partition of it since I am using link2sd. I don't want to format it since I have a lot of important files on it myself. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And is there anything I can do other than format it?

USB Storage and USB Debugging will not mount to Windows 7 PC or Mac
*I'm posting this thread because I have exhausted every option discussed on the internet*
One day I decided to wipe more than usual using TWRP. I wiped Internal Storage and Android Secure. Ever since then, I have not been able to mount USB to my PC. No PC computer on planet earth will recognize my skyrocket. "Unkown Device" is all I get. Every USB cable, every USB port, every PC, every Mac I have tried. I've tried every driver set, I've tried formatting my PC and reinstalling fresh samsung drivers, I've tried Kies, I've tried formatting my SD storage, I've fixed permissions and wiped everything known to Android. Odin will not detect the phone without working windows drivers and neither will SuperOneClick. I'm out of cards. Game over. Every other function of the device works just fine, and I've gotten by using my 64GB external SD card as a means to transfer files between PC and phone. Come to think, this all started when I put that 64gb SD card in my phone and tried to format it and everything else in TWRP. External SD card works, but nothing will mount.
Before I explore the final possibility that the USB plug on my phone is physically damaged, I'd like to know if anyone out there has had any problems with USB mounting as a result of TWRP wiping and/or External SD Card installation/formatting causing things to go awry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will donate to anyone helps me solve the issue, as I need to be able to sell this phone with a clear conscience.
Thanks!
What version of twrp are you using. I saw another post where it wouldn't mount internal with 2.4.0.0. Seems it might be an issue with that version.

It was using 2.2.3 at the time. I feel strongly that this is an issue with formatting the internal SD card via twrp while adding an external SD card to the phone. I believe the system partition responsible for mounting the phone is corrupted. Maybe a re-partition is the solution? If I could somehow restore the system partition files. I am an avid flasher but partitioning is beyond my scope. Maybe someone can point me to a guide about partitioning.

Hey man did you ever resolve this issue? I just erased a bunch of folders on my internal SD and it won't mount anymore. I'm using a Droid4 and, of course, the problem is consistent on both ROM and stock.
I guess for now I'll have to download from my dropbox account.
Cheers
I'm on the Note 2 (N7100) and have the same issue. I formatted internal storage in TWRP. Now USB is not detected on any pc. Any updates?

Suddenly, from last week onwards, my internal storage seems to be having some problems.
It stopped working last week and is showing some very strange issues.
Under Settings > Storage, it only lists 1.45 GB of total space instead of the 8 GB it's supposed to.
Nothing gets mounted to /mnt/emmc
Using adb shell, nothing related to the internal storage appears when using the mount command.
Under CWM, I cannot mount /emmc
I've tried reflashing CWM and ROMs using NVFlash and still the same problem persists.
Every time I start Cyanogen Mod, the little "SD card is safe to remove" comes up
When I try to mount /mnt/emmc from Cyanogen Mod, it just brings up this message again.
Any opinions?
Thanks.
EDIT: It works now, I did a nandroid restore of the stock WIND firmware and that freed up /emmc... I don't know why this happened when all of my other efforts did nothing.
/emmc/ is your sdcard, not internal flash.
I've had CM7 corrupt my drive. Had to format and start over.

My Sandisk 8 GB class 10 microSD card become corrupted. Most files were OK but some jpg and a backup were unable to be read. When read/transfer/copy was attempted of the faulty files it locked up my computer. I tried various programs to fix and/or retrieve those files and tried a CHKDSK repair but those also locked up my computer so I saved whatever I could and did a full reformat, not the quick one, which completed without a problem and appears to work in the phone without any problem (yet?). You should do the same.
I lost my emmc early this year, think from flashing the wrong kernel. Couldn't find a way to recover. Will start doing more frequent external SD card backups.
Another odd thing I have is going into car mode even though I froze it with Titanium backup. Comes and goes with flashing different stuff. Recently flashed Mazout's on 2.3.4 and working good. But occasional BSOD that requires a battery pull and wipe Dalvik.

...Except no.
When my SD card was removed the problem persisted. Missing 5+ GB.
My SD card is 4GB... How could I be missing more than the capacity of my SD card?
/emmc/ is the internal SD card... the way this ROM manages internal storage. It is configurable in CyMod.
/emmc/ is my internal flash in this case, no doubts.
For anyone who is curious, be careful with mount commands as they will make recovery from this difficult and may be the cause of the problem.
