Yeah, it is unfortunate but indeed inevitable due to the big limitations of supporting mass storage directly. I think I've seen people doing some experiments with exporting loop files over mass storage and ideas about exporting uSD partitions, so I guess we will see if something comes from this.

BTW, I'm using sshfs/sftp with public key authentication and it works like charm.

It should be in /mount/sdcard/<UUID>/ (UPDATE: the correct path is indeed /media/sdcard/<UUID>/, not /mount/sdcard/<UUID>/) and I can indeed see my EXT4 formatted partition on the uSD on this path just fine.

The bash script that does the mounting is located in /usr/sbin/mount-sd.sh and should support FAT32.
