PA 4.0 beta
Android 4.4.1
My phone's apps such as quickoffice can't detect files on ext SD card ( 16gb micro SD)
mnt/media_rw is empty
storage/sdcard1 has ext SD files.
Any clue what's going on?

Is your card formatted ExFAT? I don't think aosp roms support ExFAT. You need to format fat32
sent from somewhere
Philz touch recovery and cyanogenmod supports exfat file system.. But I do recommend to use FAT32 for your external SD card..
as long as android 4.4.1 is still in the beta stages of custom rom development i would suggest to copy all you files from the card to your computer and then simply format it as fat32
you could ofcourse always try a different kernel and see if that helps, i believe i saw someone post a flashable file in the derteufel devilkernel thread a few days ago that would make your rom support exfat, but just to be safe for now and in the future, simply stick with fat32
My microSD is formatted FAT32.
Also, philz touch won't mount it while twrp does.

I can navigate to files on the ext card using es. They are in storage/sdcard1.
I'm contacting the developer he should be able to help out.

can someone please let me know if the samsung galaxy 3 micro sd card can be formatted to something other than fat32 and if so what are the formats that are available and other question is if its dependent on the rom currently flashed to the device? thank u sorry if this has been answered before
I believe android requires fat32, but you can repartition the card to have an ext4 partition along with the normal fat32 partition. I've only seen that used for apps2sd use though.
I have a 64GB card in my phone that is formatted exFAT. It works fine except that it can not be seen be recovery. I also had to download an update for my old win xp machine to read the card.

Ive installed pacman rom on my note 2 but the sd status appeared as damaged and required a format .
I didn't format and went to recovery and restored the stock rooted rom 4.1.2 that I have backed up and it backed up successfully.
But the sd card appeard as damaged also in the stick rom .
I have backed up the backup files that were in the card , I can add photos and videos later .
Is there a way to fix the card without formating it?

Try a card reader.

I believe your sd card is 64gb and formatted in exFAT.
Pacman ROM is based on AOSP/CM (CMIIMW) therefore exFAT is not supported. Try to reformat you sdcard in FAT32 format (you will loss capability to store >4gb file in your sdcard) but it works.
same problem
I had just the same situation with Paranoid Android and 64Gb exFAT formatted card several days ago. I knew that PA (like any AOSP ROM) can't see exFAT filesystem. But I only wanted to test PA for a few days so I decided not to format card or remove it from the phone. I did nothing with the card in the PA ROM. Nevertheless I found my card damaged after returning to stock 4.1.2 ROM (just like ahmedss79 did). Neither Android nor windows could read my card.
But AROMA Filemanager saw the card and could read and write it. I used PhilZ Touch CWM with Aroma Filemanager and copied all important files from sd card to internal storage.
And when I opened my "damaged" sd card in partition manager (in Windows, using a card reader) I noticed that it has two partitions: small 12Mb FAT before big 59 Gb unknown partition. I guess this FAT partition was automatically created by PA after its fist boot and exactly this FAT partition made the card damaged as it wiped all file tables, located in the first couple of Mb of the original exFAT partition.
Is there any way to format to FAT32 using any application on an Android device?
I'm running PACMan at the moment, which seems to have the most features.
I have no hardware that can read my SD card on a PC at the moment.
I'm currently at work and don't feel like waiting 8 hours to do it at home, plus, there some compatibility issues formatting FAT32 on Windows 8
For some reason my ext4 formatted 32GB MicroSD card is not being recognized from my file manager. However, when I boot up in TWRP recovery, I can see the SD card and its contents.
This morning was the last time I was able to browse my files in the external SD partition. I downloaded Spotify, downloaded some songs for offline listening and that is when I received an error message that I was out of disk space. When I checked my internal storage, I still have 4GB left but the external SDcard is nowhere to be found.
Is there an android utility I can use to restore my access to the SDcard paritition?
You need to format it to fat32, I had to do the same once rooted. You will need a utility on a pc to format it. Eric

Confirm your kernel is supporting Ext4 , some custom kernel doesn't.
Hi,
I'm using ROM CM 10.1 nightly 2013-05-01. I have downgraded to CM 10.1 2013-04-01 nightly and even formatted the internal storage then flashed back to stock ROM.
Same thing. The stock Samsung ROM says I have a blank external SD card. CM 10.1 ROM says there is no external SD card.
However, when I boot to TWRP (2.5 version) recovery, I can see the external SDCard just fine.
I would love to go back to FAT32, but need the ex4 because I have a Linux installation that requires at least 6GB partition to work.
My setup with ext4 has been working for about a month, up until yesterday. I have no idea why this happened all of a sudden.
The external ext4 formatted SD card did pop back briefly right after reinstallation of CM 10.1. I was even able to browse the files with no lag or errors. Few minutes however, it disappeared again. Frustrating.
Is there an android utility I can use? I know CM 10.1 doesn't recognize exfat.

By the way, I just inserted in another ext4 formatted SD Card. This one is recognized immediately and I can access my files.
So I am thinking that the other SDcard not being recognized by the android OS may have developed a read issue. Is there a way to recover without having to reformat the card?
The non working sdcard is displaying this message when accessed by a file manager: "directory read banned".
Is there a way to unban it?
The phone can read other ext4 formatted cards.
Okay. I inserted the sdcard in my linux laptop. Apparently for some reason, it is now being mounted FAT32 formatted drive. I guess that explains the read banned message in android because of the presence of a file larger than 4GB.
Is there a way to repair this painlessly?
Hi all,
I have just flashed the latest cm release to my n2 (I was previously on a stock based ROM).
But cm won't recognise my SD card.
My SD card is a 64gb sandisk class 10.
I have tried formatting it to exfat, but the SD won't Mount, and I get a message saying the file system isn't supported.
I have also tried NTFS but I could only get it to mount with a third party app.
I would rather not use fat32, as I have files that are larger then 4gb.
Can anyone tell me which SD card file system types Cm 10.1 supports?.
And which do you guys think is the best format?.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Corey
Well... Fat32, that's all as far as I remember . ExFat is for touchwiz only

One more time: no exFAT on AOSP based ROM.
The only solution atm is the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155363
If I mistakenly formatted the internal SD and there is no ROM installed on my device, and I do not have a FAT32 formatted microSD around (I do not want to format my only exfat-formatted microSD to FAT32), how can I get a ROM zip into the internal SD?
I am running official CWM which doesn't support exFAT.
I know I can use TWRP but the point of my question is what are my options when using official CWM as I prefer CWM.
thanks!
