Hi!
Can anyone confirm that Micro SD cards are working with the community preview?
I have checked the usual mountpoints, but could not find my card.
If it's working:
- what is your card size and format?
- where is it mounted?
Regards,
Dietmar
I use a sandisk micro sdxc (64Gb). Sailfish wouldn't mount it by default (vfat), but by creating a /media/sdcard directory and mounting directly, everything works. Photos, videos, music etc are all now discovered and working. I was going to modify the fstab, but I rarely reboot, so I just manually mount.
The device is /dev/mmcblk1, so to mount the first partition on the card, do the following from the terminal:
devel-su (and enter su password set up in developer options)
mkdir -p /media/sdcard
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/sdcard
exit (to get back to normal user, or just quit the terminal app)
You may have to add the -t option if your card has an odd format.
I like sailfish because (unlike android) you can do these things when the system misbehaves. It is a full blown linux distro under the hood.
