Title: Problem with map folder /mnt/sdcard
Post by: buzz on March 14, 2011, 15:01:53

Hi,

I have a problem with the default map folder on my galaxy (i7500, Android 1.6).
If my understanding is right, locus tries to create a folder /mnt/sdcard/?? at the start.
Unfortunately /mntis not available on the device (nor can I create it); the sdcard is mounted at /sdcard/.

Is it possible to change allow changing the root folder in case /mnt/?? is not there?

hmm where Locus place data and create it's root when start? There is no fix directory in Locus. I just ask system for external place (disk, internal memory) and into this I place data. Anyway there is actually no chance to change default directory in Locus. There was no need for this and hope that this will remain ...

Hi menion,
thanks for the fast reply. Actually I'm not sure what causes the issue; I'm just getting an alert box that locus can't create it's "root folder" and asks me to insert an SD card.
Looking at the forum and a colleges device (Nexus) I assumed that locus has problems with the /mnt/ folder, but there maybe another cause. Any idea what I should do or check? Is there a .log file or something like that?

hmm weird, just quick question .. don't you have phone connected as mass storage right? Did any other software do this to you?

I can create for you some debug version. Are you familiar with logcat? maybe aLogcat program from market or similar should be handy.

Quote from: "buzz"the sdcard is mounted at /sdcard/.

Strange, because on my Defy it´s stored automaticly at /sdcard/locus/... too, (not /mnt/sdcard..) without any problem. Android problem?

No, it was not connected as mass storage. I haven't used logcat, but I'm familiar with adb and should be able to handle that, if I get a debug version.

oki fine, so download 0.9.28.3 version and try it. Best is if you send me log from some software because as I know, in adb you cannot save whole stream of text. Anyway run version and you should see something like

03-14 16:07:26.625: DEBUG/FileSystem(22282): createRoot - card:/mnt/sdcard/, external:null
03-14 16:07:26.625: INFO/FileSystem(22282): setRootDirectory(/mnt/sdcard/, /mnt/sdcard/Locus/)
03-14 16:07:26.625: DEBUG/FileSystem(22282): setRootDirectory() - success!
03-14 16:07:26.625: WARN/CustomMain(22282): FileSystem succesfully created!

this is what I see ...

Hi,

I found the problem - looks like for some reason my SD card was mounted read-only, even after rebooting the device.
I needed to remount in in rw mode to get it working.

Thanks a lot for the support, and sorry for waisting your time,
Axel
