I just flashed the new 4.2 OTA and it really messed up my Sdcard, Can't restore from backup to minco5 because it moved everything from /sdcard to /sdcard/0 . Anyone know how to disable this "feature"?

This is default behaviour now due to the multi user capabilities introduced in 4.2 as far as I can tell.

I also noticed that, I believe this is not related to multiple users feature.. Its kind of first storage.. You can see in all Linux storage are list like 0,1,2,...
To resolve this issue we have to make link in recovery.. So we have to wait clockworkmod release for 4.2

You could be right.. the "emulated" folders I note in the file system are related to how Android 4.2 is handling multi-users. Anyway.. smarter people than me are probably best to comment on this next
Try flashing a 4.1.2 rom and check your backups again..

He flashed an OTA, not AOSP. GN does not "support" multi users. It has to do with the way Google is looking at storage after implementing multi user support. You will not be able to use it on the G-Nexus OTA though. Also, Clockwork needs to be updated.
DONT update to a 4.2 ROM until Koush updates CWM.
And is there a way to remount sdcard back after such update?..

I had the same problem, but i manager to restore my backup, here is what you have to do:
1- install file manager e.g. Es filemanager..
2- go to /sdcard/0 and find clockmodwork folder
3- Long press on CLockmodwork folder then copy or cut.
4- Go back to /sdcard/ and paste.
5- now reboot to recovery and the phone will see the backup
Note that when copy the folder it will take some time, however it depends on how many backups you have.

I though the sdcard data is actually located in "/data/media/0/". "/sdcard/" is just symlink from there.

The solution is simple, took me forever to copy my backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995585
1. Keep the files where they are and increase the number of 0 directories every time we install a new rom.
2. Use the new Twrp and live with folder 0.
3. Move all our file from 0 folder back to sdcard with a file manager.
Soo, I know there's a lot of these threads around, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm wondering: After I flashed 4.2 I got this extra "0" folder on my internal sdcarrd. Can I just cut/paste the content of the "0" folder back to the original sdcard root? or will this have a negative effect on the storage?
Regards.

I had this issue earlier so i moved everything back to the root folder and deleted "0". If you are planning on flashing a few 4.2 roms i suggest you use the latest TWRP recovery or wait for the updated clockwork recovery because everytime you flash 4.2 roms they automatically create a 0 partition so you will end up with 0/0/0 etc depending on how many you flash
K, thanks!
I think I'll just copy the content of the "\0" folder back to the root, and stick with the ROM I'm on now. Then I'll update CWM when an update is released.
Aaargh.. I'm getting kinda pissed now..
When I try to copy the sd-content back to the root, it says that the device has stopped responding, or isn't connected. Can you tell me what is the standard root folder for the sd-content?
After installing a previous backup the was still a 0 folder so I copied all of the files to the root folder however it made the pictures unable to view

I've tried several methods to move my clockworkmod folder out of the "0" folder to the sdcard "root" to no avail.
I'm currently backing up everything from "0" to my desktop. Once that's done, how can I push the clockworkmod folder to the sdcard "root"?

Seems like there are some problems copying big folders over to the root. Try to first copy the CWM folder from your PC into some folder on the sd-root. Then, from your phone, open up a file explorer and copy the CWM folder to the root. Pretty weird, but it looks like it's working for me..
Edit: Yupp! worked for me. Hope you'll sort it out aswell.

What file explorer did you use? Every one that I've used takes me directly to the "0" folder when I hit "sdcard" thus I can't seem to paste the clockworkmod folder into sdcard root.

move it to /data/media
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
here's how it works
before the virtual link to /sdcard was /data/media
cwm was writing under /data/media so cwm folder would show up under /sdcard as well
now the virtual link to /sdcard is /data/media/0
that's because of multiuser (even if multiuser is not working on phones)
cwm is still wriyinb to /data/media so cwm golder eoll mot show up under /sdcard
solutions
1. to copy cwm foldrr on pc: move cwm folder from /data/media to /data/media/0 that is to /sdcard then attach phone to pc and copy folder from sdcard
2. to restore from a backup on your vomputer: attach phone to pc, create cwm folder on sdcard andcopy h erebackup folis, copy cwm foldef from /data/media/0 into /dara/media
it is normal to have a /data/media/0 which means /sdcsrd
it is not normal to have /data/media/0/0 which means /sdcard/0
the latter happens on your second installation etc.

I haven't updated to 4.2 yet because of this sdcard/0 issue I'm reading about
I don't care much about what's on my SD card besides my Nandroid backups so the only thing for me is: can I restore a backup from CWM if I move the "clockworkmod" folder from sdcard/0 back to the root of the SD card?
I assume there's no other adverse effects of all our files and stuff being on sdcard/0 instead of just sdcard root?

read my commeny above: yes, although cumbersone, yes
I'm thinking this is the appropriate thread to post this so here I go. I flashed the newly released 4.2 rooted stock image and there were a few problems :
1. I forgot to delete the cache/dalvik cache, which created a bootloop and completely messed up my device, and I had to wipe/factory data reset from the recovery to fix it (in which case I had to lose almost all of my data)
2. I accidently overwrote an existing nandroid backup of the previous (CM 10 stable) ROM I had made to restore just in case anything happens, so I was out of options to restore my nexus to a working state. I finally had to use the crashed ROM's nandroid backup using an advanced recovery so I had my photos, videos etc intact. I got it finally working but anyways,
3. I restored my apps+data using titanium backup. I wanted to go back to my CM10 backup which I had made using ROM manager and it was still present with the rest of my data. But when I selected the backup which made, the device restarted and gave me an error stating "SD CARD MARKER NOT FOUND" :crying:
Now I'm unable to restore or even make a new backup with ROM manager. And to add, I have like three folders for storage using up too much space on my sdcard :
1. root/sdcard - I have no idea where this came from but it sure has an awful lot of my files copied there
2. root/storage/sdcard0
3. root/storage/emulated - has two subfolders : 0, legacy
All of the above locations contain the same exact files and I just want my nexus back the way it was. I know I can flash CM10 right away but I just wanna get some help on how to delete and make changes to these added folders by properly moving the files without crashing the os.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am having this issue as well and am very very annoyed. Please help. Thanks. I cannot get into recovery manually or otherwise. Keep getting Andy with the red exclamation mark in his chest and must remove battery to reboot.
Fu#k rom manager and CWM use TWRP an rom toolbox pro an you will be fine on 4.2 JB.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Update: got it working.. had to flash back cm10 stable, move files around and get back the old ROM manager backup and restore it. Its fine now. Not to mention the 4.2 ROM was pretty unstable on my nexus, causing several reboots and sometimes it froze (especially when I connected it to my desktop) and I had to remove the battery and put it back in to get it working. Moreover the 4.2 rom screwed up the file system, making my nexus' SD card unreadable on any desktop. It just wouldn't install the drivers whatsoever. I'd wait for cm10.1 than try any other custom 4.2 from now on.

You can download Root Browser Lite from play store, which gives you complete access to the root of your phone and internal files such as system/.
I am dealing with some issues here. I have a nandroid of CM10 from a just a couple of days ago, before I f'ed up my phone. The problem is that CWM can't seem to find its own backup?? I keep getting "Couldn't open directory", "No files found". Has anyone else had this issue??
It is the same version of CWM that I used to make the back up in the first place. Very frustrating.
is it the new version of CWM? did you move the backup off your phone then back on to it? if so, did you remember the blob folder?

Nope same problem with updating to 6.0.1.5.
There are new mounting points in 4.2 because of multi-user-support.
Main user entry point is now /sdcard/0/ folder on your internal storage, all data is moved in there. So you have to manually copy and paste your backups to fit the folder where your custom recovery is expecting those backups.

but all 3 of those points have the same data...I can't copy from legacy to /0 or obb. They all have the backups there. i can't mount sdcard in recovery though....I think the only way is to flash a 4.1 ROM and then do a restore until a recovery comes out with 4.2 mounting support. Am I correct here?

Copy your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
This is where your stuff is mounted in 4.2
After restoring you will still have problems though. All you stuff that used to be in /sdcard will now be in /sdcard/0 so many things won't work. Again copy or move all contents of /sdcard/0 to /sdcard and you are back to how it was.
I did all the copying from Terminal Emulator because file explorers could not see anything inside /data/media but it's there. Typing 'su' first and then using 'ls' in Terminal Emulator will show what is in there, so use it. Use 'cp - r' to copy the folder. Needless to say you need to be rooted for this.

Yup! I'm on 2.3.2.1 which is the latest for the VZW Gnex (toro) and I still have that 0 folder problem every single time I flash a new 4.2 ROM. I even move all the contents of /data/media/0 to /data/media such as my Titanium Backup folders and it simply can't find the files. I noticed every boot up the 4.2 roms also make new "Android" and "Music" and "Movies" folders and when you delete them, the browser, gallery and other things won't work. This is very frustrating. I've searched high and low and I seem to be finding the same answer. Make sure you are on the latest TWRP and that'll fix the problem. It hasn't. Any other suggestions?

Actually I have a GSM GNex and I can confirm that the 0 folder problem is fixed with me using the latest TWRP (2.3.2.1). Check here for the thread of TWRP at the Verizon section maybe you can find why you still have the 0 folder problem
Regarding Titanium backup, this software is great and you can choose where to let it look for the backup instead of the regular /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ location. All you have to do is:
1- Start/Run Titantium Backup
2- Go to Settings (the three upper right vertical dots)
3- Select "Preferences"
4- Under "BACKUP SETTINGS", click the first option which is "Backup folder location"
5- Click on "DETECT!"
6- Choose "SD card"
Then automatically it will search your SD card for the Titanium Backup and display it all for you.
Hope this helps

If CWM is unable to find the nandroid backup because it is moved within the new 0 folder(s), then here is what I have done when I was in the same problem :
1- Download any file explorer (I used ES File Explorer)
2- CUT (or copy if you have a lot of free storage) the "clockworkmod" folder from within the 0 Folder(s) and paste it to the main /sdcard/ location, so both the 0 Folder and the clockworkmod folder will be at /sdcard/ location now.
3- Reboot into recovery and CWM should find the nandroid backup because it is back to its correct place as it was before being moved into the 0 Folder.
I recommend that you make a copy of the clockworkmod folder to your PC before attempting any of the above steps just in case something went wrong while copying or cutting (moving) the folder so you can try copying it again. In other words, make a backup of this clockworkmod backup
Hope this helps

Oh sorry for misunderstanding you earlier.
I haven't encountered this before but you may try a file explorer which has a search function (such as ES File Explorer) so you search for "clockworkmod" folder or something in the whole sdcard. I hope it will find the backups for you this way.

How everywhere did you get? They must be there somewhere...
Did you try under
/mnt/sdcard
? That's the actual directory, the various others are symlinks to it.

/mnt/sdcard is a symlink. The physical file location is /data/media (or /data/media/0 in 4.2 and higher).
Edit: Specifically, the physical internal storage is found at /data/media.
/data/media is fuse mounted as /mnt/shell/emulated.
/mnt/shell/emulated/0 is then symlinked to /storage/emulated/legacy.
/storage/emulated/legacy is then symlinked to /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, and /storage/sdcard0.
So the files seen in /sdcard are files physically located at /data/media/0. As such, files in /data/media can use space, but not be seen when looking in /sdcard.

Did you do your nandroid backup using CWM? If yes, then it will not be compatible with TWRP.
Did you use the latest TWRP 2.3.2.1 ? If not then your nandroid backup should be in sdcard/0/ after flashing PA with android 4.2 so TWRP will no longer find it. You have to copy or move the TWRP folder from within "0 Folder" to the main sdcard/ location then TWRP will recognize it again. And remember to update your TWRP to the latest version to avoid this problem again.
I hope I have covered most of the possibilities regarding your case. If not then please provide more details

/storage/emulated/legacy is then symlinked to /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, and /storage/sdcard0.
So the files seen in /sdcard are files physically located at /data/media/0. As such, files in /data/media can use space, but not be seen when looking in /sdcard.

My /data seems empty...
Same for /mnt/shell...
/storage/emulated/legacy isn't, i see the sdcard content there, but no cwm folder

Did you do your nandroid backup using CWM? If yes, then it will not be compatible with TWRP.
Did you use the latest TWRP 2.3.2.1 ? If not then your nandroid backup should be in sdcard/0/ after flashing PA with android 4.2 so TWRP will no longer find it. You have to copy or move the TWRP folder from within "0 Folder" to the main sdcard/ location then TWRP will recognize it again. And remember to update your TWRP to the latest version to avoid this problem again.
I hope I have covered most of the possibilities regarding your case. If not then please provide more details

So I just got the chance to flash a 4.2 and like I said it created a new 0 folder under data/media/0. I deleted the 0 folder so I would only have data/media but when I go to open the browser it doesn't do a thing. Even the gallery. And when I reboot, I see it creates the same folders I just deleted. What gives?

I have no idea why your TWRP on your verizon GNex is not helping you get rid of these 0 folders. I checked the changelog of TWRP 2.3.2.1 for the thread at the Verizon section and the Original (GSM) section and they are identical!
Anyway I have never deleted or do anything to data/media/ even for 0 Folders. I used to move the data from within the /sdcard/0/ location to /sdcard/ then delete this 0 folder on the sdcard, nothing else. I checked my 4.2 GNex now and yes there is a 0 folder in data/media/ but this is not affecting my sdcard and how apps like Titnatium and TWRP are finding the backups and related files.

Hey guys I can't seem to physically locate my nandroid backups. I know its usually located in some folder /clockworkmod/backup/DATESTAMP but ever since the 4.2 update with the multi user thing it seems to be missing. I am already using the latest version of CWM.
I've used root explorer and i've looked in all of:
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0
Essentially all the Nandroids i've done have taken up all of the space within my phone and I can't seem to do anything anymore :/
Look in a folder called SDcard... Mine stored there for some reason

You could also try /data/media
