If you have enough time, please help me. It doesn't matter how you configure the mount point, all external storage is defined to be locked up if you run Google's vold unmodified. Have a look at system/vold/Volume.cpp and scroll down to something similar to this chunk of code if (primaryStorage) { // Special case the primary SD card. // For this we grant write access to the SDCARD_RW group. gid = AID_SDCARD_RW; } else { // For secondary external storage we keep things locked up. gid = AID_MEDIA_RW; } What you could do is to override this and set all storage gid to be AID_SDCARD_RW. -- mvh Hans-Christian Egtvedt -- -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-porting" group.
