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

This may seem like a ridiculously noobish question but I can't find the external SD partition in any file manager. I'm rooted and neither root explorer or astro shows any partition for the external card. I just placed a 32gb micro SD in there and the /SD folder refers to the internal 12 GB of storage. What am I missing here?

It would be under /sdcard/external_sd in root explorer.
/sdcard/external_sd
Has anyone else experienced problems copying files from the SD card to internal SD or MicroSD? I receive an "insufficeint space" error, even though there is plenty of space available. I can copy the same file from MicroSD to internal SD with no problems, I can copy the same file from MicroSD to SD with no problems. Running Revolver 311 now, had same issue on Krackd 142. Thanks in advance for your help...
I think I'm a little lost with the description... If the internal SD is the internal storage of the TF and the MicroSD is the external storage, how do you connect the other SD?
If its via dock, do you know where does it mount it?

Yes, it's the sd card that goees into the dock. This is my understanding of the mounts:
/mnt/sdcard = internal storage
/Removable/MicroSD = micro sd card in the tablet itself
/Removable/SD = Full size sd card in the dock (this is the one I have trouble copying from)
Thanks for you help, I'm going to assume it was a corrupt file or files. I was able to copy a different file successfully as well as move a folder off the SD card. I'm going to reformat card and copy files from PC to card and then try and copy again and see if I get any issues. I didn't think about corrupt files before because thay were video files and they played just fine.
The phone only has 1.5GB of internal SD card and
expects you to add your own external SD card.
Which is fine except just about everything favours
using the small internal card instead of the large
external one. The android folder where the obb
files go, .android_secure where apps moved to sd
go, external data downloads for apps. So 1.5GB
won't last you long!
You can however swap which card Android thinks is
the internal and external. So mine now thinks it
has 32GB of internal SD space and 1.5GB external
and uses the 32GB for everything.
To do this, first of all you need root.
Then download this file: http://blade.windows98.co.uk/downloads/vold.emmc.fstab
(right click the
link and use 'save as')
Copy it to your phones SD card
Now using a root file explorer go to /system/etc and
rename the file vold.emmc.fstab as a backup in case
you ever want to revert this swap
Using your file explorer, copy or move the file from
your sd card into /system/etc
Reboot and enjoy :laugh::good:
File copy?
If this works what about system files? Do you need to copy all internal files to external first before swapping?
If so what app will allow you permissions to do so?

Your internal is already available for storage. Look for sdcardi in your file explorer
Hi,
I have an SD Card, which I formatted for use as internal storage. Now I'd like to copy some music files to my phone.
I do not want to copy the files to the phone's internal memory. What location should I paste my files through USB so that it actually goes to the external SD Card and not the internal phone memory ?
Bump!
