Hi all,
I have looked at several other threads about this but could not find an answer. My Acer a100 won't auto mount the SD. I can mount it from terminal as root but not from fstab. I tried modifying the fstab several different ways with no luck. Not sure when it started but I noticed it after latest update. Flashed unlocked boot loader and have tried several rooms with same results. Any advice?

Put the SD card in a card reader and check it for errors on a PC. Not through the tablet use a card reader. Mounting issues are usually some sort of filesystem error or corruption, maybe copy what you can off and give it a fresh format.

Card checks out fine. Before I checked it I also tried a few other cards and they all had the same problem too. Can someone with an a100 that mounts on boot show me their /etc/vold.fstab file

mmc_host sir does not exist mine is the same except after the sdhci-tegra.2 part it is just mmcblk1. Tried it anyway for giggles with no luck. Is there any way to use standard Linux syntax in that fstab? Poosible problem in the ramdisk? Just trying to come up with something don't want to have to manually mount it every time. I also noticed the same issue when I am in recovery, except I have to mount it with adb because twrp console is a little rough. Is there anywhere else the unit system looks for mounts? I did notice that the internal SD is not in the fstab how/when is that mounted? What logs would I check for errors in this case?

Internal is mounted to /data/media which is why its not there. Its mounted early in the fs init right before external is iirc its been awhile since I looked at it.
I don't even know what ROM you're on or the kernel in use so I have no idea right now what can be causing it.
Mmcblk1 is external SD card though.
Dmesg may show if there's a known reason for mount failure. Logcat might too.

looked in the logs, no errors with regards to SD. I looked through the init files and there is no mounting of the external SD, it seems to me that the vold.fstab dev_mount thing is more like a bind mount than a traditional mount point. Looked in my phone and the SD is mounted in one of the local inits. So time to recompile the ram disk I guess. Will post logs up after work today, not sure if I can do it from the mobile app.

Try adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt that would be more likely to show fs errors.
Also pulling the recovery log in /cache/recovery/ has the partition info in it.

Sweet added mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/external_sd to the init.vangogh.rc, rebuilt the boot.img and now the sd mounts by itself Thanks for the help, Next I am determined to get a ubuntu image running on it and then ideally get android running in a chroot(opposite of how most tutorials do it).
Well now I may have very well bricked it. On the plus side it is trying to boot from the SD card. I guess the rootfs is not bootable. However holding the volume button no longer takes me to recovery either any suggestions?

Is anyone using Zinio with their A100? If so, how do you manage your memory? I need to free up some memory or move it to the SD card but do not know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
You might want to take a look at the SD mount swap by crossix. It mounts your SD card as internal, so if you have a 32gb card you get 32gb internal storage. Well after formatting and android taking space its like 29gb but you get my point. Here's a screenshot of it running on mine, note internal storage.

Yeah it seems to be tricky for some people to get going. I'll assume you use an Acer based ICS and not CM9 like I used for my screenshot, but download the zip, extract the install-recovery.sh file, paste it into /system/etc so it looks like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then set permissions, uncheck every box, save. Re open permissions and set it to
XXX
XXX
XXO
Save.
Reboot, wait a minute. Like seriously a minute, not a few seconds. Then check storage. Depending what file manager you use you will have to mount system as writable, in root explorer its a R/W button up top, in ES file manager its in settings, check root explorer, allow root, mount system as writable check box. Others may be different but I've uses those two and it works.
If you use CM9 its different, but I can walk you through that method as well.

You could manually move the files from /sdcard/com.zinio.mobile.android.reader to /mnt/external_sd, but when you try to access the magazine again from Zinio it will redownload the files to the original location. If you do not have an available internet connection, then the pages will display as all black. There is not a single file that you can select to open the magazine in Zinio, the magazine is downloaded as seperate apdfs, jpgs, and html files.
Thanks, I tried it again, and I still cannot get it to work, maybe I'm an idiot...

My guess is that it could be write access permissions for the SD. It can get screwed up when flashing between ROMs...
Boot into recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Make sure that /data is mounted, then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *

Are you running a stock kernel? It might not be an insecure kernel (meaning allowing root access to adb) but you shouldn't need root for putting stuff to the memory card.
Try using /data/media for internal memory card.

What will essentually happen is a new /0/ folder will pop up with all the normal android folders in it but then another one will apear after a new rom is installed. When i connect to a computer i cant ussually see all the /0/ folders. Recently i formated my SD card through CWM but it still is making new /0/ folders. Its really annoying, anyone have a possible fix?
I have the same problem very annoying. Computer can't read them as you say. Also I can't use those scripts that auto flash your ROM or mod since recovery cant find anything since it don't read that 0 folder

Sounds like the 0 folder bug. Make sure you are the most up to date recovery, if you keep getting them just move all of your important info to the first 0 and delete the others inside of it.

The script is pointing to the wrong location for SD card Dev/block/vold/179:25. If you are familiar with Odin and comfortable with the possibility of bricking or rendering your tablet unbootable, try editing that to 179:17 and running the script. I don't guarantee that will work, but that is the address of my ext SD running cm11 on a sm-t310.
Yours may be different on a 210. Run mount from terminal and hunt for the 179:XX for sdcard1 and verify before trying though.

I would test it and see if it works, then if it does, have it set to run at boot, but a backup never hurts. I just backed mine up before testing blackhawk kernel, which worked well on the kids tab3.

Run the command "mount" without quotes in terminal . Look for your sd card
And which device address it's using. Verify that 170:17 is your device node.

So I mounted ran "mount" in terminal emulator and it refers to anything on my external sd card as 179:73. (@zibrah3ed sorry I didn't catch that in your first post)
So I guess that's the number I need.
Thanks for your help guys.
I did it and it worked perfectly. Having one gta game on my phone no longer prevents me from installing other apk's. Thanks for all your help. I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of people with 8gb of internal memory.
I was wondering if you got it working. I noticed there is not much information about these tabs, compared to the tab 2, which is the last gtab I had. I bought my sons kids tab assuming it would have similar support. All that was really important was root/recovery and some sort of memory swap, as I loaded it with many of the games I have on my 32gb tab. I took back a nabi because sometimes the memory swap I was using wouldn't stick on reboot, and getting it going again would be to much for my 4 year old. Anyways, glad you got it going.

First of all you need to be rooted. Then you need to grant es file explorer superuser permission when it asks. then you go into /data folder. You should see a lot of files/folders in there. If you can't you probably aren't using es file explorer as a rooted user. Then you long select the script and select properties. then change permissions by checking read, write, execute (all 3 should be checked) under the owner option. Then so to smanager and continue the tut
