[Q] Phone Storage??

I have an external SD card with 16gb, and my phone itself has 12gb.
But in my root browser, /sdcard is my internal storage
/storage/sdcard0 is also my internal storage
/storage/sdcard1 is my external sd
/usbstorage has nothing in it, 384mb free
/system has 286mb free
MY QUESTION IS:
1) Can I combine storages in two different places ? Like my 16gb ext sd is in /storage/sdcard1 but also in mnt/external_sd
2)Can i combine different storages? like external with my internal?
Thanks!

[Q]NTFS SD Card Mount on NOTE II

Hello everyone, I know this thread is already present and I also red the info regarding with it, but it seems my problem is something I can't solve with the help of those previous instructions. I have an I idea how to solve it but I'm hesitant to do it because I don't know if it works, and I kinda scared to do it because I don't want to buy again another SD Card if ever the present one will break.
Problem: I have a torrent app in my Note II and I liked to use it always because it downloads fast, but the problem is that whenever I want to download files that is more than 4GB in size, I always receive an error that the file I want to download is to big for the file system; (file system limit exceeded), and I learned that this error occurs when my storage system is FAT/FAT32, then I read a thread in this forum that this will be solved by converting my SD Card's file system to NTFS and use Paragon NTFS Mount app so that my NTFS Card will be accepted by my phone, alas I did as what was instructed, converted my SD Card to NTFS, mount my card to storage/sdCard/extcard <---Created another path as it was said that using the default path would make it not work. But when I re-started to download files it fails to me again, the same problem encountered (file system limit exceeded). I even converted my SD card to exFat because I heard that this can handle large files, more than 4GB but also to no avail.
Solution(not tested yet): I am planning to make 2 partitions in my SD card, one partition would be fat32 and the other would be NTFS, and use also paragon app, so that when I insert my card to my phone, the phone will mount the FAT system to the fat32 partition and leave the NTFS partition alone and not be used.
Does this method of mine will work? Are there any ideas aside from what I had in mind that will also help me solve my little problem. I know that this problem of mine is not that big, and I can just refer it to other threads and the google but I want to know from the pro's and OP's here if my method is possible.
Thank you!
Kudos to all!:good:

You need to define a mount point like sdcard0 is internal sd sdcard1 is external sd fat32 partition sdcard2 as the ntfs partition which is really hard to do on a samsung based rom (even windows doesnt recognize the second partition on sd cards ) you can format the sd to ext3 or ext4 it's the best possible solution

I see, too bad, but thanks any way. Does the procedure in formatting my sd card to ext3 or ext4 is the same as when I format my card to fat32 other system, or would you use a program to do it.

Why are you using Fat32 or NTFS just format the SD card to ExFAT. No size limit and compatible with Note2 & Windows

I think the problem you are having is due to the torrent app you are using, it might be trying to use the internal phone memory as a temporary location for the file you are downloading. Try changing your torrent app

Converting external microsd card to internal sdcard

Hi Guys n Gals,
Wondering if there's a stable way to convert external microsd card memory to internal sd on GT-N7105? So if you've a 64GB external mircosd card then you can convert in to internal sd and have a 64GB Note 2. I've done something that add certain script (using script manager apps) but it was'nt stable. Would appreciate recommendation. TiA!

Check out this excellent post by mattiadj http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796&highlight=n7105
I also needed scriptmanager (all as given in mattiadj's first post in the thread above) AND the mod suggested by Ramsfan_Jim further on in the same thread for making it work on 7105. ( I am copy/pasting the relevant part of Jim's post below to save you some searching). I used root explorer to change the 11extsd2internalsd file.
QUOTE:
This mod didn't work for me (Galaxy Note 2 LTE - N7105) - it left both internal & external SD showing as my 64gb card (making the remaining 10gb of internal memory inaccessible).
However, by editing 11extsd2internalsd (in etc/ init.d) as follows (changes highlighted), it works fine after a reboot:-
#!/system/bin/sh
#extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage #and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The resut is a very big increase of installable apps on gnote2

Thanks to both these gentlemen, I have a stable swap of memories on my rooted N7105.

what happens if card dies? I think this is safer?

As external SD is slower, i don't think it's a good idea to use it for system.
16 GB is enough for the system, if needed you can just put the big apps in external SD

Thanks! Still trying to digest the posting recommended. Newbies, information in links seems too technical. Will try to find the link that I use to convert the sd n post here. Any simpler mods?

Go to root directory, thru file manager with Root Access.
Open "System" folder
Under system folder there is the "Build.prop", open it and look for "#Change to 1 for swapping SD cards, #persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0" line.
Change the value of 0 into 1.
Then Reboot.
