BUMP: I'm having the same problem, used gparted to repartition sdcard which allowed me to Mount USB storage. When i try to mount /sdcard card i receive
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(Invalid argument)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
Are you using setcpu? I had same message the other day when in clockwork. I had an idea to try to set speed back to stock and unchecked set on boot, rebooted in to clockwork and all was well. Not sure if the clockspeed and and set on boot has anything to do with it, but I had a feeling that it messed with backup/restore when writing/reading a custom speed specified to boot with. Anyway it worked for me on virtuous with 7.28 radio and kings bfs 5
Had the same issue... Formatted the SD card (using the phone, under settings/sd card) and it never happened again.

to follow this up, i was experiancing similar problems
like an idiot i ejected the SD card with the power on (bad idea) and had to format it
the card worked fine under my rom (miui) but when i booted into clockwork mod v4.something
i unmounted the SD card in the phone options and formatted it, after re mounting it the phone gave me a notification that the SD card was an unsupported format
so what i did was click that notification and format the card again
i booted into recovery and it worked, i hope this helps someone in the future

Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk error
I received a replacement Dinc from Verizon under the extended warranty. My problem is that the new phone won't backup or restore under CWM. I get a notice that "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp1p (or mmcblk)
My old phone was rooted with the 2.3.4 version 4.06 GB stock rooted ROM. I made a nandroid backup with CWM recovery 5.0.0.6. So far all is good. The replacement phone with amoled screen came with GB 2.3.4. (unrooted and s-on.) Following the directions in Droid Forums I downgraded to 2.2, rooted using unrevoked3, turned s-off with unrevoked forever and reinstalled 2.3.4 version 4.06. All files found from links of XDA. (THANKS to all for the great instructions and files.)
But now on the new phone the nandroid backup and recovery from CWM won't work as I get the above error. II read that the sd card needs to be reformatted but when I put it back in the old phone, CWM works well without the error. Any suggestions?

I would first try to format your sdcard fat32, but dont put any of the old files back on yet. Then with the blank sdcard inserted try to run a backup and see if it works. If not try reflashing cwm thru hboot. Also make sure you have superuser and busybox installed. mmcbkk0p1 is the data partition, see if you can manually mount it thru recovery in the mounts and storage menu.

Its mmcblk1p1 he said. That isn't the data partition . I think it is sdcard. I think an sdcard format will do the trick.

Odined 13-extended and still get "Can't mount SD card"
This problem seems to be common but haven't found a solution.
I have looked!!!
Any help would be great!
Clicked repartition in Odin...
Popped sd card in and out and rebooted
nothing
Solved: I had formatted my sd card way back when in my laptop. After reformatting in phone all is right with the world!
Are you using the three finger to get into cwm? That happens to me if I use quick boot cause of the redirector.
Yes...using three finger. CWM starts up just won't give me ext4.
It can't see sd card at all. Tried fixing permissions. Tried just about everything.
Also started with deoxed 13 and same result as soon as it gets to ext4 "can't mount sd card"
Wow I don't know then. It works fine for me using the three finger. Sorry. Good luck
If you are looking to go the EXT4 route, Odin back to stock EB13 and then run One-Click Root w/CWM3. That will convert your phone to EXT4.
[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13!
Tried that....used deodexed eb13. When cwm3 reboots and I restart withthree finger it should convert to EXT4 but it hangs and I get "Can't mount sd card"
Tried with stock EB13. victory_8G_100528.pit and SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 USB debugging checked.
File systems need to be converted to ext4.
A backup and restore will now take place.
If anything goes wrong, your backup will be named
before-ext4-convert-1298846544. Try restoring it
in case of error.
Can't mount /sdcard
Can't mount /sdcard
It just seems odd that CWM3 is the only prog having trouble with the card.
Tried a new sd card and same thing so it's not the card....
I flashed a Leedroid 3.0 and it was just stuck in the boot screen. So tried to clear data and all thru recovery and i got this error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!.
I downloaded gparted to repartition my 8gb sd card. I did a ext3 partition. When i plug back the sd card, the error still comes out in recovery mode. Any rom i flash gets stuck in Bootscreen still. I tried partitioning my 4gb sd card but it also gave the same error in the recovery.
please help. Been trying the whole day and still nothing is happening
Have you tried partitioning it through recovery? (If you have that option available)
I'd begin with reflashing a cwm recovery, cause maybe the problem is not your sd. In "mounts and storage" did you try to mount/amount sd-ext ?
Sent from my Desire using LeeDrOiD 2.4.1
I cant also mount/unmount sd ext. It says the same thing. can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!. should i just buy a fresh new memory card?
What exactly is your recovery ?
Sent from my Desire using LeeDrOiD 2.4.1
flash clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 . Im using a sd card now without partition. It seems to work with the rom. Using Leedroid 2.4.1 . If i use the original SD card and reboot it with it, its just stuck in HTC boot screen.
So you should just use parted again with your stock sd to make it work ...

Common error when card is not partitioned or wrongly partitioned. First make Fat, then make EXT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3
Thanks man. I was able to repartition. I made a wrong partition in gparted. Made a fat32 primary then the second one extended partition. From your post i made it primary also the second one. Now my rom reads the sd card. Thanks again.
Hmmm I had this exact same problem with LeeDroid 3.0.2... Trying to flash without wiping, had about 80 apps on my EXT3 partition... Got stuck on the white HTC screen for about 2 hours, gave up, pulled the battery, tried to flash the alignment zip, still stuck... tried to restore nandroid backup but then started getting this same error as you.
Thankfully was able to rescue all files from my SD card, format and partition again, then flashed LeeDroid 3.0.2 and restored a Titanium backup... everything running smoothly again! Phew...

May I ask how did you manage to do that?
EDIT:
Ok. Apart from the backup/restore issues that depend on having a healthy ext partition as I figure, the "can't mount [..] error mounting /sd-ext/!" problem is responsible for the "green HTC logo on the white screen freeze" also. So I've been trying to make it work all evening and this is what I found:
The Error (at least in my case) and the freaking "green HTC logo" freezez were generated because the Ext partition got corrupted in some bizarre and mysterious way. I have no idea how that could have happened, but I guess a small role in this ballet got played by the ROM itself and maybe even the nandroid backup built into the CWM (ClockWorkMod). It started right after I finished installing a fresh copy of the LeeDroid 2.4.1 and all my favourite apps (which worked flawlessly), rebooted into bootloader > CWM > nandroid and made the full backup of the system. Rebooting the device afterwards got me into the above mentioned freeze.
I tried many things, among which were flashing different ROMs and Radio images (without wiping though), but none worked. I just wanted to roll back to the previous state (because i've spent quite some time configuring and installing the 2.4.1) and it seemed impossible at that point. Browsing the recovery options got me into the Mount and storage section where I noticed the listed error with the ext partition. I thought maybe formatting will help - well, it didn't. After a couple of weird things I had tried, I've decided I should delete the ext partition (leaving just the fat32 intact). Creating a new ext partition from scratch seemed to solve the error. However this didn't solve the freezing. And the reason had to be the fact that when it created the nandroid backup images, the ext was already corrupt (or however unreadable), so the relative image was not written because it didn't see the source.
I doubt there is any way to fully restore my previously installed ROM with all of it's apps in place and in a functioning order, because the ext partition had data on it and now it's missing (hence the freeze).
Therefore the question: what could have gone so badly wrong to compromise the ext partition?
And another one: is the LeeDroid 2.4.1 ROM or the 2.5.0.7 ClockworkMod Recovery the culprit?
Sorry for the looong post. I look further to hearing from Lee, if his busy schedule allows it and thank him in advance.
Cheers!

hi! having the same exact problem right now... could you please help me how did you rescue all of your sd-card and sd-ext partitions? Thank you very much!
same problem on my N1, reparition to resolved
hi..
i got this problem too
i have clockworkmod recovery. pvt4.
cyanogenmod 7.1.
didn't make any partitions,
everything is by default as i got with cyanogenmod
s-on.
sd - 8gb, class2
yesterday my desire freezed.so i had to pull out the battery. but i couldn't turn it on till' i didn't wipe cache and dalvik cache.
When i selected wipe dalvik cache i got this
E: can't mount /dev/ block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
but it wiped it and my phone worked.
this appears even without sd card
it freezed after a week again but after a couple of reboots it works again but the error still exists.
i am newbie so i don't know what to do?
So I flashed a ROM which stuffed up my partitions somehow (also became S-ON, WTH?!).
I got 'can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (invalid argument)' when trying to mount /sdcard.
I also got the aforementioned 'can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)' when trying to mount /sd-ext.
After literally 16 hours of head banging, I realised when I partitioned the SD card again that they were logical instead of primary. Partitioned using minitool partition wizard home edition.
Rundown:
I'm using LeeDroid v3.3.3 with clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
Make sure you partition FAT32 first as primary, then ext3 as primary. LeeDroid says to partition ext3 1GB after FAT32, so e.g. my SD card is 16GB, I have ~13.8GB FAT32 | 1GB ext3
This fixed the 'can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0' error, /sdcard is mountable.
You can now run .zip files from recovery (yay!). Throw alignment_ext3.zip on there and run it. You should now be able to mount /sd-ext.
Do a full wipe + Dalvik cache wipe (to test /sd-ext accessibility). For me it was back to normal and I'm currently doing a restore.
Always do a backup.
So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.

Did you use the Mounts menu to try to manually mount the sd?
Also, Which method did you use to get into CWM?

Ya i went into the menus and manually unmounted and then remounted the SD card but that didn't do anything. I used the typical three finger method to boot into CWM like i always do.
i think
I believe this has something to do with the way in which the SD card is formatted I also cannot mount in to usb storage in CWM i get an E: error
Have you guys tried to "Reboot recovery" from the "Adavnced" menu in CWM, and then try to flash the ROM?
I've had this happen before, it was a formatting problem. The easiest fix I found was to back up SD-card data on your pc, reformat the card from the Android system, then copy your data back over. CWM should be able to mount your card now.
I had a problem with the mount dropping mid flash it was my sd for some reason was chipped I always keep backup files

Just flash another version of CWM and u'r done. I faced this problem after flashing Siyah Kernel v2.3 which includes CWM 5.0, and I tried all the methods online; formatting, error-checking, etc... nothing succeed!
Finally I flashed another kernel (Which includes CWM 4.0) and it worked fine.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me just now... found this thread.. pushed new CWM in ODIN - Worked like a charm.. Fixed in 2 minutes..
Flashing another CWM (ACS recovery this time...) via Odin did not fix the issue. Going to try the format /sdcard fix and see... argh!
*Edit* aaaand that didn't work either. WTF... I literally just got this phone 2 hours ago... brand new.
delete the .androidsecure folder on your sd that worked for me formatting wont work if you put your files on the same with me because i always copied that folder along too
Hi there,
I was about to flash a new rom on my Dinc, and right after I formatted /system, the sdcard became unable to mount and now I can't access the .zip for the new rom. I've tried flashing 3 versions of CWM as well as one of TWRP but none of them can access my SD card. I also reformatted it in my PC with no success. I currently don't have any operating system on it so all I can work with is hboot and recovery.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Did you format it fat32 with the pc? If the cards fine (can be used by pc and fat32) and recovery and hboot still cant find it, then id venture to say the sdcard slot is damaged or went out.
Using adb in recovery, you should be able to push a rom file to emmc and flash it from there.

I did format it FAT32, and the SD card is definitely fine. I don't think that the slot is the problem either because other things won't mount either.
Actually the only thing I can mount in recovery is /system, everything else is inaccessible. It was having mounting problems before which is why I decided to flash it with a new rom (was running Jellybean very poorly). I also tried flashing the original recovery, doing "clear storage" that way, and reflashing with CWM but it had no effect. During the storage wipe it said that /datadata doesn't even exist. It also shows errors that it can't mount the files /dev/block/mmcblk01 and /dev/blk/mmcblk0p2
This is what the log shows when I did the CLEAR STORAGE using the stock recovery
Restore factory NV setting...
Formatting DATA:...
E: format_root_device: can't find mtd partition "datadata"
Formatting EMMC:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Wipe ALL failed.
E:Can't mount DATADATA:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)

The same thing happened to me long back. What I did was that I cleared data, cache, and dalvik cache... Worked for me... You can try but i wont take any responsibility

Try and put a rom on your external storage and flash, also check for sd errors on pc, maybe worth saving what u need on it and formatting it
Try loading a ROM using adb sideload
