Someone else had your problem I believe. They're thread is down below. Their name is serious flash. They reported a similar thing. But not sure if they were using adaptive storage.

They also posted 2 screenshots showing it.
My personal advice to prevent possible data loss is to back up the contents of your sd card and reformat it. Then re enable adaptive storage.

Here are the screenshots posted by him

Hmm weird. I guess adaptive storage is toast for now although I don't use it.

I have the same thing with the S4 Mini using Oreo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-lineageos-16-t3851339).
I have a 128GB SD card but it shows as 256 in adopted storage. I used adb to use only 25 percent of the card as adopted; the remainder being formatted as FAT32 so as to be able to access it from other computers. Maybe that has something to do with it? If anyone has the same problem please report. This is probably a bug in Android.
The same problem reported here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/help/weird-sd-card-usage-oreo-update-t3779186

Hi,
Any news about this bug ? I have the same on LineageOS 16.0.
Thanks

USB Storage is Internal SD card.....fixed size is 1.7G
I don't think Rio's ROM's use the mount-point swap....??
However, I believe this could be implemented, which means your External SD Card [up to 32G] could be swapped in system file /etc/vold.fstab to act as your internal Usb Storage, allowing you much more storage for whatever data you wish to save on /sdcard..........
also, this would allow you to move Apps to your 1.7G Internal SD, which would now be seen by system as /sdcard/external_sd.....
you should check in the forum as to how to do this, also perhaps make a post in the ROM thread.

In my post here....
There is a link to a small tutorial.....check it out, but be careful, and do back-up.
I would also before doing this, make sure all apps are on internal phone memory, if you can, like no moved apps...

[Q] MicroSD Card File Transfer

Hi,
Any other HTC One M8 users has issue regarding copying files from Internal Memory to MicroSD storage using File Manager apps like ES File Manager? I cannot copy some of my files from Internal to MicroSD storage. I always encounter Copy Failure error.
Any work around for this?
Thanks!
It's a Kit Kat design issue. If you search you'll find multiple threads on this problem.
How do I make SD card writeable to apps on rooted HTC One M8?
I can't find any info on this.
Play store apps (sdfix and many others) do not work. People report they do on Samsungs,.
You have to root your phone for enabling write to SD

An easier fix smartie is if you had used the xposed mod that allows writing to SD card.

I did give that a go. That didn't work. As soon as Xposed tried installing framework my phone would reboot.
I think even with root the system partition is protected and as soon as anything writes to it the phone reboots.
After the 4.4.3 update, there is already a File Manager on the app drawer which can transfer files from Internal Memory to SD Card.

4.4.4 ROM and SD card

Is there any 4.4.4 ROM for S4 Mini that can manage SD card by default ?
I mean thge possibility to move app in the SD card
Tks
I'm having problem moving apps to ext SD card as well. I tried different app to SD, like 5 different ones and they all state I can't move apps to ext SD.
This is a serious issue. Please help!
I'm using CM11 M12.

U need to install this app from play store. ::: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...e.fmount&hl=en
When u start the app for the 1st time and grant root access it prompts to fix a storage related issue. Choose yes. Then u can move parts of apps onto sd card.
But if u want to move large games... then u need to install xposed framework and ObbOnSD module. Here is a video on XDA-TV that will help you...

SD card not beng recognized

I'm running Vision X rom and I just tried using SanDisk 32 and 64 GB cards and neither one is being recognized in the phone. Neither my music app (PlayerPro) not ES File Explorer sees the card when I insert it. I have tried formatting the card as FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. Still no luck.
Does any one has any suggestion?

Thanks for the info. I just tried it and still nothing :'(
I've tried all possible fixes including changing the ROM but still nothing. I'm beginning to think that the card slot itself might be faulty as I've never tried it before. Is it possible to check for that? If so, how? I've already tried two different cards and no luck.
i actually had the EXACT same issue recently. i had to wipe data cache and dalvik 4x, reflash, rewipe 3 more times, then reboot. worked for me. Im running tweaked on my N3. try this, let us know

Tried the above mentioned procedure and reflashed Vision X rom but still no luck. What brand card did you use? I'm using SanDisk Ultra (32 and 64).
I also flashed the zip that Misterjunky mentioned earlier but still the same :crying:
Edit:Just test the card in wife's S3 and it picked up the card instantly. So it is definitely not the card. Either my card read messed up or there is something else wrong.

I'm using a SanDisk ultra 64gb. I actually have my own thread on the topic. May be a slight coding error in rom. Let me guess. Only thing that reads and accesses card is recovery mode?

Don't see any option fo sdcard1. The only option os "Choose zip zip from /sdcard" . When I select that, it shows my internal storage.

Try going into settings, unmount sd, after it says safe to remove, reboot normally. Let cycle and scan. Then reboot into recovery

In setting it does not even see the SD card. It says 'insert SD".
Edit: I just flashed TWRP recovery and it has option for micro SD but when I try to mount it nothing happens either. So I'm leaning towards the fact that the card reader might be toast :'(

Have you tried inserting card into the computer with a USB reader? Does windows recognize it?

There actually is an issue with the note 3 and SanDisk ultra sd cards. Try terminal emulator to remount card? Forget the commands, but it may help

Yep, card works perfectly fine in Windows and under two different cameras (with adapter).
I just cleared everything again and flashed Gummy ASOP rom, still no SD card :'(. The last thing to do is to order a new microSD card and try it out but at this point I have little hope of it working.

Final test. Flash back to stock unrooted. Check to see if it reads then. Hopefully, at same time, you can restore 0x0 on Knox. Warranty return if it doesn't read

Link2sd for marshmallow

Can anyone pls tell me how to link2sd on desire 816 after marshmallow update
In marshmallow all the 3rd party apps are defaultly installed in External card, if you format it as internal storage. then y need of such apps?

There is a condition if you format your Ext. card as internal storage in Marshmallow. This will make your ext. card fixed to the device and you cannot remove it and access it with your computer or any other device.
So effectively you will not be able to read your card data with a card reader to transfer stuff to your computer.
That is why even I feel link2sd might be a more flexible option.

link2sd is not working for me as well in Marshmallow. Even FolderMount isnt working.
Waiting for xXminiWHOOPERxX who has made a nice script before for this.The write protection in not getting disabled with the scripts I used for Lollipop.
Somebody has to find out a way to disable it for us as we dont have S-OFF.
