Tricking the file system to mount a LINK2SD drive as mnt/extsd I've got a device that is using the brilliant LINK2SD to expand the system memory onto the SD......all good.

As part of the implementation, the app mounts the two SD card partitions as:


FAT32 /mnt/extsd/179_49


and


EXT4 /mnt/extsd/179_50


Of course a regular FAT32 SD card mounts as /mnt/extsd so the problem then presents itself with some apps that are hard coded to look for /mnt/extsd for SD storage.....apps like Camera fail with errors similar to can't find SD card etc.

My question is how can I mount/trick the system to mount the FAT32 partition /mnt/extsd/179_49 as /mnt/extsd ???

I've got root access, terminal etc.

Any ideas folk ?

Cheers

/mnt/extsd/179_49 
/mnt/extsd/179_50
/mnt/extsd 


some type of round-robin.

Your going to have to move your data in '49 &amp; '50 to someother directories. mkdir /sdcard/externalData

rmdir '49
rmdir '50
rmdir extsd

cd mnt
ln -s /sdcard/externalData extsd

cd extsd
ln -s /sdcard/new49 179_49 

ln -s /sdcard/new50 179_50


Whether this will work will depends on the capabilities of ln.  This would work in normal unix  / linux boxes.
