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.

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
Hello, is there any way to use the internal storage and the SD Card as internal storage at the same time? Thanks

Adopted storage

Yes, my mistake, I'm talking about adopted storage. My issue is that in my phone I have an option to move files to the internal storage despite the fact that I'm using adopted storage.

I'm sorry... What's the problem? When you adopt the storage, go to Settings - Storage and tap the 3 dot menu, migrate all to SD card.
You can always move apps back, but after migration then the SD card is the "primary" storage point. Just how it works.

What I mean is that despite the SD card being the primary storage, the phone gives me the option to move the files from the SD card to the internal storage, and I don't know if that means that I can use the internal storage for file storaging
In the first screenshot you can see that inside Settings>Storage>Internal Storage I have the option to migrate data from the SD card to the internal storage, and inside that option (second screenshot) it says that by doing that I can free 8.25 Gb by moving files from the SD card to the internal storage. That made me think that I can still use the internal storage for something more than apps

No... There are still 2 distinct areas, adopted storage doesn't work exactly the way you think. Sorry, just getting on a plane or I would explain more.

Don't worry, I think I understood, thanks for the answers! :good:
So, I have what is probably a really stupid question.
What is the path for the internal and external SD Card storage?
I'm using Root Explorer as a file browser.
/sdcard/ = internal
Hi,
I'm on the Concept Marshmallow build 3657.
I chose the option to combine my 64GB SD card so it can be used seamlessly with the internal storage (ie- not as portable).
But when I plug my phone into the PC, I only see the ~12GB of internal storage available. Also in a file explorer on the phone, I only see the 12GB internal storage.
In "Storage & USB" I see the internal storage is almost full, 11.00GB used of 11.57GB. And the SD card is listed there, only 739MB used of 56.7GB. I have some apps installed on it.
But how can I either: move photos, audio etc to the SD card from the internal storage (SD doesn't show up in file explorers). I thought the SD card would act as a seamless extension of internal storage, but that doesn't seem to be happening here.
Any advice on what I can do?
If I use an SD card as my default storage location I cant access my internal storage which includes the themes folder.
If I revert back I can access it again. This is a pain when I want to mess with my themes.
Is this normal and is there a way to enable access to internal storage when the SD card is set as default storage location?
