Are these the same? Or what am I missing here?
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
Thanks in advance...
Sorry for the bump, but Guys I ve read a lot of posts about guides and tuts. Thats why I found these two methods, So anyone with a sound knowledge please give me a clarification on this? What is the difference about those?
Where do you want to mount it?
in ADB it's just mount /system. In root explorer it is automatically mounted and you can change between R/O and R/W with a single button.

Thanks for replying,
I found one in here, the workshop about the ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
You may need to remount system as writable with:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
That applies when using chmod as well.

mount /system seems pretty self explanatory and I know this guide says "remount" but I am not very clear what remounting Vs mounting the Sys partition means. And why are there two different ADB commands for remounting? Hope you can enlighten me.
Well, I always use adb from the recovery, so the basic mount /system command is enough for me.
But sometimes (depending on the operation) - it requires re-mount. However, I never use the /dev/block/stl9 part, just the mount -o rw,remount /system part, and worked fine all the time.

Okay I got it, Can you also please tell me what is the difference of using ADB from the recovery? I assume that the interference from the other system processes is minimum at the recovery? If so I'd also switch to use ADB from the recovery too.
Well if you are not S-OFF, you can mount the /system partition as R/W only from recovery (phone is not booted).
i tried to make a symlink on my archos but when i tried it gave Function not implemented.
is there a way to implement this function?

Hi
Where are you trying to create these symlinks?
On the A101S you cannot create symlinks in /mnt/sdcard because this is a vfat partition which does not a support symlinking, you also won't be able to make link in /mnt/storage ; /mnt/data ; /storage ; /sdcard ; This is because these are mounted by the sdcard service which is designed to provide a windows friendly fat view onto the file system.
Creating links anywhere else shouldn't be a problem ( depending on the filesystems you are using )
Hope tjhat helps.

If you after freeing up space, it is still possible with a bit of hacking voodoo . There are 2 ways I know of in fact.
METHOD 1 - SDCARD SERVICE
you can point the /storage ( /mnt/storage in reality ) to any directory you like. I've currently got mine pointing to an multi partitioned external 32gb sdcard. :0 all you need to do is change the sdcard service in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc,
Currently it mounts /data/media to /mnt/storage, if you have an external sdcard card handy, try this as a quick and dirty test
From a terminal emulator or adb shell run the following commands
Code:
stop sdcard ;
sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1000 1015 &
ls /storage
You will now see that the external sdcard can be access through /storage. to kill the test run
Code:
pkill -9 sdcard
start sdcard
Everything should be back to normal. As I mentioned to make a more permanent change edit the following line in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1000 1015
METHOD 2 - MOUNT BIND
The other, perhaps more straight forward method uses the bind argument on the mount to command to "mount an already visible filesystem elsewhere" .
In the example I'll bind the external sdcard to a directory in the internal storage
use the terminal emulator or adb once again to execute the following commands
Code:
mkdir /storage/sdcard
mount --bind /mnt/sdcard /storage/sdcard
To make this more parmanent, I would probably create a wrapper shell script for the sdcard service to make sure it all gets started together, that's just my preference, As we say in trade ( or maybe it's a saying i've just made up :silly: ) ; "there's more than one way to mount a file system!"
In Summary: I would go with method 2 as this effectively achieves the desired effect off "symlinking" an external directory in the /storage
Cheers

I would expect that to be case, This apply's to the SD Versions only, It should be fairly trivial however to change the new location to an hard disk partition. Can run the following adb command and post the output here, then i'll see if I can point you in the right direction :good:
Code:
adb shell mount

doesn't work on CM10.1
Hello,
Thank you for your methods!
I used your method 2 on Blue ROM (4.0.4) with success but I just put the CyanogenMod 10.1 and it doesn't work anymore, here is the command line I put on my script for CM10.1 :
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/Android /sdcard/Android
It only works on ADB command from the PC, if I try on Terminal emulator on the tablet I have no error but no effect.
Do you have a solution please?

Yeah that sounds about right, it's because the /storage directory on 4.2.2 ( CM 10.1 ) is just a "virtual directory" the real data is /data/media/0 try changing your bind to there, You can probably just get away with a symlink especially if you're external sdcard is in ext4... I'll have to have a play with that!! :good:
Thank you, it works from Terminal Emulator!
An another linked question :
I restored my Gameloft games (Ice Age Village, MIB,... and Rayman) from Titanium Backup as usually but this time I have problem once I put this symlinks, it tells me I need to download datas I select Yes or ok but I have an error and I can't play, I precise it's only with CM10.1 with symlinks, I did it many time with 4.0.4 with no problem

Hmm, Maybe the Symlink method is no good for you in this particular instance. Just to be clear are you saying you used "mount --bind" or did you go with a symlink using the "ln -s" command... At a wild guess I'd be inclined to thing it maybe be some anti-piracy measure in Gamesloft Games or it could be a permissions issue.
Just a little tip for you. If you're going to ask questions you're going have to bring folks more than "I've got an error" That's doesn't tell anyone anything really.... What does the error say? for starters. The more info you have the better. Then the people who want to help can help and you get to play you're games a whole lot sooner :good: Winners All round :silly:

I did this command :

mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1 /data/media/0
My goal is to get "data" and "obb" at least on the sdcard instead of internal memory, am I doing the right thing?

You're allright, here is some two screenshot of MIB without symlinks :
If first ask for additionnal files, I select Yes and it starts downloading.
But, if I run the mount command, after the first screenshot asking additionnal datas, I get this message (and screenshot doesn't work, "Couldn't capture screenshot. Couldn'tsave screenshot. Storage may be in use.") : "A problem occured and the download could not be completed successfully. Do you want to restart the download? An unstable network may cause problems when downloading." I select Yes but additionnal datas message and the same message bootloop. It seems it's a storage problem...
For Rayman, it starts without problem without symlink and I get a "Download error, please make sure you are connected to Internet and try again later" with mount command. Of course I'm connected...
Hope you can help me

you can edit the vold file and accomplish the same results. you need to use a root explorer.I have done it on every device I own at one point.yes it saves.

Hi. How can I mount on a rooted aftv an usbstick that is formated in ext3/ext4 or anything else than ntfs and fat32?
It's so f.... annoying.
I've tried with stickmount, but the symlink it creates is empty. I imagine that is 'cos the aftv software immediately takes over and asks to format the usbstick to fat32?
An usb stick with fat gets auto-mounted like this:
Code:
#mount
/dev/block/vold/8:1 /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk vfat
rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/fuse /storage/usbdisk fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
Now, if I want to mount my usb stick with ext4 to be accessable by kodi etc, where would I mount it to?
Code:
toolbox mount -t ext4 -o rw,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/sda1 /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1
That location /data/media/0.... is only readable by root. Hey, anyone?
