Re: [14.12.2012] StickMount v2.20 [ROOT]

I don't know why, but this app has never worked right for me. I have updated super su, and it is always in my notifications, no matter what I do, every time I try to unmount, it won't, it just shows active mounts. I have to pull the otg out, go to manage apps, and clear data and cache on the app to remove it from my notifications. But I'm tired of it so it's always there. Pretty annoying! I'm on PA with Franco kernel.

I've tried reading thru all 72 pages but can't find an answer...

Running my nexus 7, stock, 4.2.2 and stickmount was working fine.... But then just stopped. No reason, just refuses to mount. Got correct cable and usb is fine.

I've added a few apps, (ie ad blocker etc), would any of these stop it...

(yes, i've removed the app and still it doesn't work, but sometime these apps leave remnants behind).

Is there a list of apps that prevent mounting...

Don't want to get pro until I know it will def work...

I've problems with NTFS mount. It does mount but there are no files in the folder!
[Android Apps and Games] filking:
Might be unrelated, but I downloaded 'nexus media importer' and tried that.

I noticed the usb drive flashed once... I clicked on refresh on that, nothing.. I clicked on disconnect, nothing..

I then went back to stickmount and suddenly it worked....

2 things, I did wiggle the drive and cable (shouldn't be a problem with them as they are all brand new, and I ran 'fast reboot again' after nmi.

oh well, it works....

This is strange on my Nexus 7 just as of last night. I hooked up my thumbdrive and my otg cable and created a couple of folders on my thumb drive to copy some files to. That worked fine, no issues. They show up on my pc, tablet, etc. But now for some strange reason not sure if it's this app or my nexus 7 being retarded. I eject the thumbdrive from /usbstorage/sda/sda1 And even after ejecting it still shows as that being active, and also one of the folders within it Videos which I created shows listed under sda1 and I'm unable to delete the folder, rename it, etc.

Even after rebooting a few times, same issue.

I'm running 4.2.2 stock, obviously it's rooted and have no other issues other than that. I've deleted my caches, temp files, and such. I'm going to try uninstalling the app I used to create the folder Solid Explorer and see if that works. But not sure if that would be causing the problem by any means.

What type of file system on you USB storage? NTFS file system mounts in read only mode.

Yes, I have read. Thank you. But is seems to be not my case.

On Nexus7 is looks as "sdcard unmounted", but in reality its actually mounted and some errors exists, as you see, and no read from these mount points are available (/sdcard - link to /storage/emulated/legacy).

Anyone with this issue ?
[Android Apps and Games] xolanir:
That happens to me all the time even after I've clicked the unmount option. I haven't seen any adverse effects from it though. Can anyone else weigh in on this if they have more insight as to what causes the issue, and why?
[Android Apps and Games] gelhack:
Possibly because there are busy mount points so the unmount did not actually happen. You can get more information by running some shell commands:

df Will tell you what is mounted. try it before you run StickMount and then again after you see the error. Hopefully you will be able to figure out what

is still mounted. You will probably see that ....sda1 is still mounted

lsof | grep sda1 Will tell you what processes have open files on sda1. Next time you are getting ready to unmount run lsof to make sure nothing is using sda1.

busybox fuser -m <mounted_file_system> Is also supposed to give you an idea what processes are using a file system. I have tried both lsof and fuser and have gotten different results with each.

I think StickMount pro can automatically kill off processes that are accessing the mount, but given my experience with lsof and fuser, there is possibility that it is not finding everything.

Unable to remove usbStorage\sda1 and usdbStorage\usb1

Hello,

I am playing with StickyMount (thanks for doing it - I've bought Pro/Support Version - BIG THANKS)

but to the point I have a problem that even after disconnecting stick usbStorage\sda1 and usbStorage\sdb1 still exist whereas previously it was disappearing once I disconnected the stick.. I have even tried to uninstall StickyMount with reboot etc. .

StickyMount thinks that he has those 2 devices connected all all the time (displays them on the Active mounts toast notification) and it even sees some content in it (not editable).

I cannot even delete those directories as a root from console as I am getting:

Permission denied whereas are directories are like that:

drwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw

I am using the same OTG cable and the same stick for which it was working but somehow got stuck into this situation.

Any ideas how to resolve it ?

Thanks,

Downloaded today and it installed fine.

Connected my 16GB Kingston stick and it recognized it straight away - opened up File Manager HD and it showed all files on the stick.

However, every file I 'opened' failed to open with an error message [Forgot to note it down :silly:]

Tried dismounting/remounting to no avail.

I then tried Root Explorer and it opened up every file 1st time :good:

Went back in with FM HD and it worked perfectly this time around. It sorted itself out with no help from me !!

I get the "USB storage removed unexpectedly" error after unmounting - I noticed a page back that others are seeing this too, running shell commands is not my cup of tea at this stage of the game!! I'll live with it.

Purchased Pro version - gotta support a dev who has made my shiny new Nexus even better.

I'd love to be able to try this out on my Atrix running epinter's CM 10. The Atrix dock has 3 USB ports, to which I have several USB storage devices attached. Unfortunately, Google Play says my Atrix is incompatible with StickMount, and won't let me download it from the market.

It may very well be right, but I want to try it anyway. How can I get the APK of StickMount 2.20 to sideload onto my Atrix? It's a free app, so I'm pretty sure I'm not breaking any laws by asking.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Disregard-- I found Market Helper, and what a great tool that is! StickMount seems to work well with my Atrix, BTW.

Not showing any files

StickMount (and I even purchased the Pro / Donate version) worked for me flawlessly.

But now I can not list the files of my external hard drive anymore. It mounts without errors, and I have all the needed kernel modules for the filesystems (in this case it is ext4).

I tried it several times but no luck - it mounts but doesn't show any files/folders.

So I gave USB OTG Helper [root] a try, and... it worked perfectly!

Mounted and showed me all the files without any problems.

Perhaps the StickMount app would need an update again - the last one was from 2012 afaik. And it is very sad for people like me who paid for it and the app doesn't work anymore and/or doesn't get updates...

Unable unmount usb in Nexus 7 ?

[Android Apps and Games] e154037:
Chainfire,

Like you stickMount. Not only it mounts OTG card reliably, but also the app makes it possible to bind directory in JB 4.2.2. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290939). While there is no problem to bind dir on OTG sdcard with your stickMount, it still remain a problem to bind dir between sdcard and extSdCard reliabley on JB 4.2, although a number of apps claim they can do it but actually cannot.

Take FolderMount as an example, It never work on my ASUS TF101 in JB4.2.2 (EOS4). I tried two versions (v1.7.2 and v2.0.5) without a success. I tried to make a link with source= /storage/emulated/0/testd and destination=/storage/sdcard1/tested, FolderMount allow me to define and activate the link, and the link is visible in my file explorer but the files and folders inside cannot be accessed unless I turn on the "Root" setting in the explorer. And in the notification area, I see the following message from FolderMount:

Error.extSdCard permission

Problem fixing external sdcard ownership/permission

Just wander whether you can take a look at this direction and make a reliable directory bind tool for JB4.2.2 as well as lower versiob android OS.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Try version 2.0.9 of FolderMount first. The developer just posted that update and commented about fixing the permission issue. I've been following both this and that thread trying to track down an issue on my Nexus 7 although the combo has been working fine on my Transformer TF101 with Team EOS 4.2.2.

Hi, I tried to search for an answer but didn't find anything. I just purchased a 128gb flash drive and it works with this app, only problem I am having is phone starts to get really hot so I unmounted. Is this normal and is there anything i can do about it? Do you all usually watch videos from a flash drive with no issues? What can I do about this, is it because of the flash drive i am using or maybe the cable? It also drains battery very fast. These issues seem like common issues but I see people saying they watch movies from their USB OTG so I just want to understand this better so I do not damage my device.

[Android Apps and Games] PJ Clifford:
I have been using an OTG cable (which was not specifically purchased for the N7 - I had one from another device) and Stickmount to mount an SD card reader w/ SD card loaded with videos to view. This, generally, has been working fine, but yesterday I encountered a situation where, while trying to watch something, I was continually interrupted for several minutes at a time. Of course the N7 went into sleep. When I woke it up, I noticed that the SD reader (which has a power./activity light on it) did not get repowered. To restore it I had to unmount it, pull the OTG cable, then reconnect it.

While not THAT big of a hassle, since I was continually getting interrupted yesterday, I was wondering if this is normal behavior for N7/OTG/Stickmout.

UPDATE:

Ok, this is a bit strange. I replaced all the hardware components (excepting the N7 itself, of course) -- new OTG cable, new portable SDHX/SDHX Micro reader and the card and it is doing the same thing. The reader has a power light on it, that remains on when it is in use. When the N7 times out (I have it set for 2 minutes), the light on the reader extinguishes as well. When I wake up the N7, the power light on the reader does NOT come back on. Stickmount reports it is still mounted and I can traverse the tree to get to it with a file manager. However, when I try to access anything on the card, it errors out.

I repeated the test with a standard USB drive (a rather small one that would not do for what I am trying to accomplish -- media storage/play to save on space on the internal "SD" card). When the N7 timed out, the light on this unit remained on. I was able to wake the unit and continue on accessing the flash drive without issue.

What the heck is the difference between a portable reader with an SD card in it and a flash drive. And, is there anyway to get the reader to behave like the flash drive.

If anyone has any insights into this, I would appreciate it!

BTW, this is with the Pro version if that is significant...
