Making the changes to /etc/usb-moded/usb-moded.ini should work on the stock kernel as well. I did not enable anything special for this in my config.

OMG. Is my config right?

It should work:

I created two dd'd images and pointed to them in the usb-moded.ini file. Now, these weren't mounted before I connected, so not sure if that's causing you an issue. If *any* of the devices are in use before you try to export, it may fail.

I'm not exporting MyDocs directly in this test, only the dd images.

You may want to check /var/log/syslog for errors.

Re: [HOWTO] Compiling new kernels on Harmattan device

Hmm... Still doesn't work for me... syslog doesn't contain mount errors. Could you show me your usb-moded.ini?

[sync]

nofua = 1



[altmount]

mount = /home/uset/MyDocs, /home/user/BackupMenu

#mount = /home/user/MyDocs



[cdrom]

path = /usr/share/aceso/aceso.iso

timeout = 1

First: you have a typo in config (see above)
Second: afaik Windoze only recognizes/mounts the first partition on a flash pen/sd ... (try with a Linux live CD or VM)

Re: [HOWTO] Compiling new kernels on Harmattan device

Hmm, it's bad... Windows is a total sh*t. Okay, I'll make icons to toggle partitions :D

Remove the space in your mounts line between commas. Either usbmoded or the driver is treating the blank character as a file/device and then your second partition is treated as another argument to the driver's insmod/modprobe and ignoring it.

Do modinfo g_file_storage and you'll see the proper syntax for the driver itself. You'll see what I mean. I inserted a space in my usb-moded.ini and got two disks detected by Windows. The first disk had a partition while the second one was just empty (due to Linux exposing a device with name ' ' to Windows I assume.

Here is how it looks with the space between the arguments to the mounts directive in usb-moded.ini:

Thus, it appears there is a second device and it is the ' ' empty device.

I've made icon to switch between partitions. It changes it's name according mounted partition. ;)

@jackburton @juiceme

what about exFAT patches to your kernels?

Seems to be marked unstable by the patch submitter :D
What are the main advantages? It looks like ExFAT can at least support larger filesize than vfat.
