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.

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

## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices

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:
Directory Bind
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
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!!!
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:

# 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 :/
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?
As I have stated I have a nextbook 8se with a AML8726-M# processor and I am looking to swap the internal for external SDcard space if possible. I was able to root it with the help of the forums here and I figured out a way on my own to get google play running. I have successfully swapped this before on other phones and tablets I just can’t seem to get this one to work. I will post the text of my vold.fstab file here for anyone who wants to put a crack at it. I have tried a lot of combinations but can’t seem to crack it.

Hello all
I searched more and more about swapping external sd to internal sd but i didn't find any method competible with
my alcatel 985D , when i open vold.fstab to edit it, I only find one line as you see in the following paste
