Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me make the internal sd card as the default storage seeing as how I don't have an external SD card;
the rom I am using is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412046
Currently, my vold.fstab file looks like this:
#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted
## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################
# Internal SD card - This is for CM7 with 2.xx kernel
# 2.xx kernel only support reference internalSD 9 not any other number hence is deprecated
# dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# 3.xx Kernel numbering of InternalSD has to be 8 per CM9 Ref and CM7.2 Ref.
# Internal SD card
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD 8 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# External SD card
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
And my build.prop (I don't know if this is needed but I'll stick it here anyway) :
# Mount the internal SD card, too
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
EDIT:
Alternatively, does anyone happen to have a copy of the external secondary file (I think the actual name is external_secondary_miui_alpha2.zip so you can easily search it in your comp ) found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144553
because the download link is broken :/

Since flashing CM7 I have not been able to use internal storage as SD card (can't run camera or dropbox without a micro SD card inserted)
The internal storage appears to be located in the /emmc/ folder.
Also, I can see the storage on my computer only if I toggle mount/unmounted while plugged in.
External micro as cards work as expected but I would rather be able to use my internal storage like I used to.
I found this thread in the LG Optimus forum and copied the file vold.fstab into the system/etc folder, and now my internal storage is not visible at all, even in the emmc folder. would it be possible for someone to upload the stock CM7 one?
Thank you

thank you. I think I identified the problem though there is an option in cm7 settings that says use internal/external storage but it appears to be backwards for me (says its using internal storage but actually using external)
where did you locate these settings
HI, I'm running Android 4.0.3 tablet, and I'd like help with using my External SD as my Internal SD, and vice versa. That is when I select to "Move to SD" it moves games to my external SD instead of my Internal SD
I have 3 places stuff gets stored:
Internal Memory (0.98GB)
Internal SD (2.00 GB)
External SD (16.00GB)
I've been reading some threads on how to do this, but I keep on failing, or it isn't compatible with my device [Prestigio PMP3270B]
Here's what my vold.fstab looks like:
Code:

How should I edit this to achieve what I want to?
Many thanks!:good:
Hi everyone,
I'm using a Trekstore Surftab Ventos 8", rooted it in no time and got the PlayStore running. Thanks to you folks!
Now I want to know if there is a way to swap the external and internal SD card, so I can use a big external one for app-data.
There's a file in the etc-directory of the system named vold.fstab which must be edited I think, but i don't know how.
Anyone did this before and can help, or anyone who has a clue?
So, here's what's in the file:
## Vold 2.0 fstab
#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted
## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################
# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
#use this line to support VIRTUAL CDROM.And you can define the directory where you want to mount
loop_mount loop /mnt/VIRTUAL_CDROM
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sdcard auto /devices/platform/AMLOGIC_CARD/card_host/memorycard0 /devices/platform/aml_sd_mmc.0
dev_mount flash /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/avnftl9 /devices/platform/mtd/mtd9/avnftlj
asec flash
I guess the first dev_mount Statement has to be edited, but I don't know in which way.
Thanks
Found a solution
Found a solution for my problem here on xda-developers:

This little app transfers app-data to anywhere you want and then puts a link to it in the android System so it can be accessed.
Easy to use and much more flexible than switching sd Cards.
Thanks to the developer!!!
My unit is an LG Optimus 3D Cube (SU870) running on official ICS. I need help editing the vold.fstab file so that the phone would swap the internal SD with the External SD.
This is what's currently in my vold.fstab

Ok, guys. I have a question hopefully some with more experience can answer.
In the file above I made a swap and renamed:
_ExternalSd to sdcard
sdcard to _InternalSD
But I didn't try it out because ICS came out and I lost interest for a bit.
That would, hopefully, make the external SD card the main card and more games could be installed.
Would that swap make any problems? Any downsides of this swap?
Guys, I need help editing the file vold.fstab. Searched the internet instructions on how to change it, to replace the internal memory to the external,but in my file other lines that the instructions did not edit it properly.

This tutorial is not for pico. Because pico has only one SD card (no internal and external SD). This tutorial is to change internal SD to external SD, not to change internal data partition to external SD.
