When it picked it up, was it already mounted? Or did you have to click mount and this you got the line above? That looks like an Android auto-mount and you should have still had a "Mount" button next to it. Clicking it should have changed the mount point to /mnt/sda1 (or something like it). Where then it would be mounted on both paths (at least that's how it works on acer). Then unmounting should change it back to (/mnt/usbOTG), which can't be manually unmounted for some reason (again, that's how it works on Acer).

Can you check if the drive type is Basic or Dynamic in the windows drive manager (see screenshot http://screencast.com/t/EZwRgotf)

I havn't tested a Dynamic drive, so not sure if Android has the drivers to handle it. If it's Basic, then something else is going on.

Did it mess up the filesystem on the USB drive? like currupt files or the FAT? It sounds like ES File Explorer may have just freaked out because an mount dissappeared that it was currently browsing. I'll download ES File Explorer and play with it and see if I can duplicate the results here.

Thanks!

For the brief time that I had the Asus TF... it auto detect the USB/MicroUSB...etc plus when you click ( lower right )...it also gave the option to unmount too.

Thanks for this app... I've been wondering why we do not have the unmount option with our A500... seems pulling a usb device out without unmounting first is a recipe for corrupted files and defect device at a later point in time...etc

Works fine in my Iconia, but needs to install BusyBox older version of 1.18.0.

Crash about 30% of time.
[Acer Iconia A500] satawat.thongsawat:
One question, will it work on Xoom?
[Acer Iconia A500] mrkrabs:
What exactly does this do?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
@ satawat

I'll check that out. I think the new version info of busy box just came out yesterday. Ill try to find out what's causing the problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
@ satawat

Yes, it does. At least two ppl have tried it on the zoom successfully.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
@mrkrabs

It allows you to easily mount any or all connected drives or partitions so you can access the data on them. Since only the first fat32 gets auto-mounted, the othhers have to be mounted manually. Plus, this lets you mount other filesystems like ext4 and ntfs.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Mine seems to be working fine with busybox 1.19.0 with both ntfs and fat32 thumb drives. I'll keep looking and see if i can find your crash problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] pixiejoe:
reckognizes my nfts 750gb hdd but i can t see any files

for my 1 gb usb stick everything allright
[Acer Iconia A500] jganyard:
Works well for me. Mounted 2 thumb drives formatted fat32 (separately, did not try simultaneously).
[Acer Iconia A500] msoileau:
Was hoping this would allow me to mount my Samsung captivate to make transferring files from phone to tablet easier. Never recognized that a device was plugged. I tried the phone with multiple settings, mass storage, mtp application, usb debugging on/ off, etc but was never able to see the device. The phone recognized that usb was connected. Phone is rooted running mosaic gingerbread rom
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
I was able to mount my DesireHD in mass storage mode using manual mount commands as well as this app. You have to wait a minute or so for the mass storage partitions to be found by Honeycomb.

To look behind the scenes run the following terminal commands using a terminal emulator or in adb shell as su

1. Unplug the device

2. run "ls /dev/block" and notice the entries there

3. Plug in your phone with Mass Storage enabled

4. run "ls /dev/block" and you should notice some new entries (sda, sda1, etc)

5. if you only notice sda then wait a minute or so and repeat 4 again as honeycomb is still scanning your phone for partitions.

6. Launch the app in this thread and you should see your phones drives as sda1, sda2, etc, etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] lanisan:
VS

*treads lightly* .. forgive me, what's the difference between this and ntfs mount?

Will this provide device support as well say.. mouse? I can mount a 1tb drive with ntfs, watch movies transfer files etc.

Look forward to feedback..
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
This lets you also mount ext2 thru ext4 (if you have linux drives) and additional fat32 volumns.

It can mount/unmount them all in one click, usefull if you have multiple partitions on a single drive, or if your using a hub to connect several drives or usb sticks.

It displays all the drive info such as filsystem type, size, and label, to make it easier to identify which partition is which in the list (usefull for multi partitions/drives)

A (very near) future feature will allow symlinks using the drive label ( /mnt/MyDriveLabel > /mnt/sda1, etc.)

Another (very near) future feature, will be to launch your file manager directly from this app, by tapping the mount point. (still working on this)

I've rewritten about 60% of the code in the past two days to make it more responsive when dealing with multiple drives/partitions. While the initial scan takes about 30 seconds to pick up 11 partitions from 4 drives, refreshing the devices only takes a few seconds, unless you change drives. It's now keeping track of drive signatures so that it only has to lightly scan the drives to see what's changed.

Also, when 3.1 comes out, I think I'll be able to make it auto-detect plugin/unplug events and auto-update the screen. And maybe an auto-mount and/or auto-launch features. Right now there is no broadcasts for the plugin/unplug events on the usb bus.
[Acer Iconia A500] nycbjr:
Any chance of adding HFS support?

All my movies are on mac volumes, and it would be sweet to be able to play them!
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I'm not sure.. i think it would require a kernel module. I'll see what I can dig up.
[Acer Iconia A500] shawking:
I am so glad I found this! Works greeat on Xoom! Keep up the good work.

If you need a test mule for the xoom let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] sergioka:
Worked great for my ntfs usb-stick on iconia!

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
Tried the EVO with disk drive enabled. Attached for about 20 min. Didn't show up on the iconia. Tried the terminal commands and no new sda detected.

Too bad I was looking forward to transferring files from my thumb drive to the phone with the iconia
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
What different devices did show up when running the terminal commands, mmcblk* ?
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
I used ls /dev/block

No devices showed up. When I connect my thumb drive or an NTFS external drive they show up as sda1, sda5 or sda7.
[Acer Iconia A500] msoileau:
Still having no luck on the Captivate. when I first connected, I saw sda and sdb in the output of 'ls /dev/block'. I left it connected for over an hour and nothing showed up in this app. The iconia should see the partitions even if it can't use the particular file system right? I'm pretty sure that the kernel I'm currently running	on the phone is using the Reiser file system.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
@anubis13: I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up for you. seems android is just not detecting the device. maybe it requires special drivers.

@msoileau: my samsug juke does that too, it only shows up as sda instead of sda1. I've changed my code to treat sda as a possible mountalbe volume, but haven't had a chance to test it yet (I had left my cable at work). I'll try it tonight and see if it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] bjarnia:
Works fantastically on the Xoom with Tiamat 1.4.3!

Edit: It says it expires on June 3rd, hoping for a new version soon!
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
I am using the latest Netarchy kernel with the stock Supersonic rom rooted. Could this cause it to not show up? How do you change the code to treat sda as a possible mountalbe volume?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I'll try to release a new beta tonight to see if all the kinks are worked out. Then I'll release the final version on the market. It'll have the "sda" for those phones that do that.

@ anubis13: does your phone automount to /mnt/usb_storage? have you checked?

@Xoom users: can someone confirm that it works on a stock Xoom (no custom ROM or kernel) for version 3.01 and 3.1. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
I have the phone set to auto connect disk drive. This is just the Sense nickname for the mnt/sdcard folder. no other usb accessible memory
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I meant, when you connect it to the tablet, does it not automatically show up under /mnt/usb_storage on the tablet?

CM7 Latest Build

I'm running CM7 with the latest nightly build on my cappy and my A500 does not detect my cappy with this program
[Acer Iconia A500] babyboy8100:
works great, I was able to plug in my 80gb hdd and 500gb and transfer files.
[Acer Iconia A500] eersfanpilot:
I have a question about your release.

I am having issues with my device deleting files when I take the USB drive out of the slot. I have searched this forum and noticed others have had similar issues. I think it is a matter of the device not stopping the USB drive when I close a program (Mobo Player, Root Explorer, File Manager HD...etc). Now I am noticing it is deleting files off the USB stick..

I know this is a very noob question, but I am a noob to Android so here goes.

Will this program allow me to "stop" the USB drive similar to how it does in Windows in order to eject the drive safely?

Is this program overkill for what I want to do? Do you recommend something else?
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
no it does not
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
There doesn't seem to be a way to unmount a fat32 drive that gets auto-mounted (usually the first fat32 drive/partition it sees on the usb port.)

This program will let you mount and unmount additional drives. So one (kind of wierd and not elegant) work around would be to always use a mini hub and plug in a dummy fat 32 thumb drive, let it auto-mount, then plug in your real drive and mount it with this program. Then you can unmount your real drive and everything should be safe. (You don't care about the dummy thumb drive)

I don't like it, and hopefully the 3.1 update will fix this issue.

Edit: I have to say I have not had any missing files with my any of my usb drives.. however, I'm missing a bunch of files (photos) from my external_sdcard. And I had not taken it out either.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I've just posted a new update v1.1 RC1 in the OP. It has some new features (symlinks to drive labels) and it snappier. it no longer shows the auto-mounted drives. Didn't have time to add that back in after the re-write.

Was trying to make it launch a file explorer when tapping the mount point, but seems like none of the file explorers support that feature. I'm going to contact the develoeprs of several of the more populare file explorers about adding such a feature.

Cheers

EB

PS.. I didn't have time to make a new screen shot. so the one you see in OP is the old version.
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
installed 1.1 and now the EVO comes up as sda1 and the file explorer recognizes the user named card. Brilliant work Thanks. Will gladly buy the final version if it works this way.
[Acer Iconia A500] msoileau:
Just installed latest version and now my Captivate mounts beautifully! Thank you very much for all of your effort with this extremely useful app
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Oh snap, both the partitions on my Nexus One's sd came up (fat32 & ext4). Nice work! Wasn't expecting that! No more ftp or bluetooth to get stuff from one to the next.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
You could remove the associated vold.fstab entry for external usb. That should stop it being automounted. I think the path is /etc/vold.fstab
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
yeah.. but sometimes you may just want to plug in a single drive and have it available.. maybe I can make it an option to block automount.

Teaser for the upcoming release version. It'll list the auto-mounted disk in the list and will be able to unmount it. Which will remove it from the list, because it can't be remouted the way it was.

ie.. you may see this

"Mount" /dev/block/sda1 ntfs
"Mount" /dev/block/sdb1 fat32
"Unmount" /dev/block/sdb1> /mnt/usb_storage vfat

the ">" indicates it's the auto-mounted disk. Clicking unmount will unmount it. by first changing it to r/o, pausing a bit to give it time to flush, then disconnecting it.

I've tested by writing a file to it and immediately hitting unmount. then check the disk and the file was there and intact. With a shorter pause, it wasn't, that definately answers one question. Writes are cached!
[Acer Iconia A500] msoileau:
In my original excitement I guess I missed the fact that the captivate drive did not show up in the device list. When I pressed "Mount All", it mounted the partition then showed it in the device list.
[Acer Iconia A500] sgtagem:
Any chance of an update. the beta just ran out. Was working GREAT!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Works great connecting HTC Evo to my A500. Makes the A500 just that much more of a notebook replacement. I'll buy when it hits the market.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I think it just wasn't ready when it scanned. Had you scanned again it would have seen it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
@sgtagem: The OP has a new beta. Works even better. Full version should be out this evening.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Unfortuanly, changing that file doesn't seem to have any effect. I swapped the mountpoints int that file to see if i could get the USB to show up under external_sd and the micro to show up under usb_storage.

Although the file did retain my changes after reboot, the changes made no difference. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
do we still need the NTFS mount hack..http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13337600&postcount=6... together with this program in order to view/mount NTFS HDD ?

or is this ALL that is needed ?
[Acer Iconia A500] macdenz:
Works with my A500 with busybox 1.17. waiting for final version...

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Just released the full version on the android market. In the description is a link to a TEST version that will make sure it's running okay before you buy the full version.

it got a couple of new features tonight, that I hadn't inteded on. Now it can also mount ext2 thru ext 4, fat and ntfs Micro SDCards!

And there's an option to mount them INSIDE the /sdcard folders.. ie. /mnt/sdcard/ext_sdcard will be the contents of your external_sd. Think about how this will be useful ;)

I was using the beta version of USb Mount All on my Xoom which has expired. When I try to purchase the app the market refuses saying not compatible with your device. I will buy as soon as the market allows!

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Try it now.. Apparetly, there are three versions of the zoom, according to the market (wifi_hubble, wingray and stingray). The last two had gotten marked as incompatible, obviously and oversight on my part.

Let me know if you have any more trouble.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Bought the Market version and love it (especially mounting them in the /sdcard folder!) and everything is working great, except now I can't edit (copy, move, cut, paste) any files on any card or device that I mount. Am I missing something obvious...? I know this worked on previous versions.

Edit: When I uninstall USB Mount All and just go through the stock USB hosting methods, I am able to modify files on the USB device.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
hmm.. v1.2 seems to be working correctly for me. Copy/pasted between ext_sdcard and sda1, did renames and deletes. sda1 was a fat32 thumbdrive. I used root explorer.

Then I put in an ntfs thumbdrive (sdb1) and copy/pasted/deleted a file. Again with root exporer, then again with AndroXplorer just to make sure root explorer wasn't using extra permissions.

And all those test has them mounted within /sdcard folder.

What file manager are you using so I can test with it?
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I've tried using ES File Explorer and OI File Manager.

When I look at the properties of the file(s) on the USB device(s) it said that I only have read access. When I uninstalled USB Mount All I now have full access to these same files on the same devices.

I'll reinstall the app and see if I can recreate the problem. Is there anything else I can provide you that can help troubleshoot this?
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Great....it's a nice random problem -- my favorite! Haha

It's working just fine again after a re-install. Not sure what could've caused it as I haven't done anything weird with or to my A500, but...who knows?

Again, if there's anything I can provide you to figure this out (if you even feel the need at this point), let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
I had a similar issue with Astro deleting files on the mounted drive.

I used Root explorer with Read/write permissions and it worked ok
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
So, your saying that even with nothing mounted via USB Mount All (just installed), you couldn't write to /mnt/usb_storage?

That's peculiar. The app should no way affect what's auto-mounted to /mnt/usb_storage, espcially if the app isn't actively mounting it to an alternate location.

Had you tried rebooting the a500 (not just turning the screen off/on) to see if the problem cleared up? Did you happen to reboot between uninstalling the app and reinstalling it?

It sounds like it could just be some memory corruption issue.

And if it starts happening again, send me the output of the unix "mount" command in a terminal emulator or adb shell. Just type "mount" and press enter and copy/paste all the text output. That may help determine what's going on.

now.. i DO know that the auto-mounted devices (ie.. a usb fat32) is mounted with the flag "errors=remount-ro" which means if it detects any i/o errors on the device, it will automatically get remounted as readonly. So it's possible that that was happening.. the output of the mount command would tell me a lot if it happens again.

Cheers,

EB
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Are you saying you had to hit the "remount r/w" button in root explorer on a mounted drive to be able to write to a mounted drive?

As I mentioned in the previous post to someone else, the errors=remount-ro flag might have been triggered causing the device to be remounted as read/only. Does this only affect fat32 drives? I use that same flag when mounting fat32, but not with ntfs drives. So an i/o error could trigger remounting, say sda1, as read-only.

If this happens again, please send me the output of the unix mount command.

Now that I'm thinking about it more, since android doesn't properly unmount an auto-mounted devices, unplugging it could cause some filesystem curruption which could in turn cause an i/o error the next time it's mounted causing it to remount as readonly.

Thanks,

EB

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I've enabled all available motorolla devices listed, even though they don't say xoom. I don't know how long it takes the market to get the changes, so give it 24 hours. Try it again and let me know if you still have trouble after that.

Don't try anything, just get it :p It's a must have for iconia!

I do have a request though:

Would it be possible to mount in /mnt/usb_storage instead of /mnt?

I have many partitions on my hdd so it gets really full in there.

Also there are duplicate mounts for example SDA_X that is also my "media" partition.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saifbarry:
Aright noob warning... the i9100 is my 1st Android phone.

My i9100:

This is the info I got from the phone before I started doing anything.

i9100XXKE4

2.6.35.7-i9100XWKE7-CL215725

What I did:

1- Flashed ViliianROM 1.1 - Everything went perfectly.

2- Started installing apps from the market. Got Ghost Commander, gave it root access and clicked on "Remount System". I have no idea what that does.

3- After a bit rebooted the phone and saw a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it.

4- Decided to change ROM to madmack's 1.4 with Arabic support. Flashed OK but ended up in a boot loop.

5- Tried a couple of other ROMs same thing.

6- Went back to VillianROM 1.1. Now I can use the phone but the yellow exclamation is still there. I don't see any instability though.

Questions:

1- What is this yellow mark?

2- How can I fix it?

3- How can I do a complete hard/factory reset? I was thinking of doing a repartition on ODIN but I can't find the 3 files required.

Thanks for your help.
