Hi All, I am also facing similar issue. I have commented off emulated storage part & keeping only External Storage part in the init script.
Here, the actual Sdcard is getting mounted as External Storage & when I open the Gallery/Music application it crashes, saying unable to getFatVolumeID.. Permission Denied to open /storage/sdcard0. Any inputs?? Chris, I tried what you have mentioned, but no improvements. But, while mounting it actual Sdcard as Secondary Storage & External Storage, it is having lot of differences in the UID & GID. AS Secondary Storage : /dev/block/vold/179:1 /storage/sdcard1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020, codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0 root@android:/ # ls -l /storage/ dr-xr-xr-x root root 2000-01-01 00:00 emulated lrwxrwxrwx root root 2000-01-01 00:00 sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy d---rwxr-x system media_rw 1970-01-01 00:00 sdcard1 root@android:/ # As External Storage : /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/shell/emulated/0 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0010,dmask=0010,allow_utime0 /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/secure/asec vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0010,dmask=0010,allow_utime=00220 tmpfs /mnt/shell/emulated/0/.android_secure tmpfs ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000 0 0 root@android:/ # ls -l /storage/ dr-xr-xr-x root root 2000-01-01 00:09 emulated lrwxrwxrwx root root 2000-01-01 00:09 sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy drwxrwxrwx system system 2000-01-01 00:09 sdcard1 Any ideas?
