I cannot see the contents of the built-in larger partition (1.8GB) and I cannot see the contents of the external mmc (16GB in my case) either.

- in the default file manager I can see the document folders and all
- but the larger 1.8GB partition and the 16GB external card are not visible
- I cannot browse those on the command line
- /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2 are empty
- mount only lists tmp, proc, sys, dev, stuff in initfs and such

- some apps use the 1.8GB stoarge though
- I can use it as an usb drive to the pc
- I can see files from Maemo mapper, built-in backup, apt-archive-cache, mediabox... and the files I dropped there BUT only from the PC


? How can I make this 1.8GB card visible to the shell and the file browser and Garnet VM (for mounting in .gvm/cards/[0|1]

? How do I make the 16GB external card visible?

Have you tried rebooting?

1. remove the external card.
2. reboot
3. check file manager, you should see the internal card.
4. exit file manager, insert the external card.
5. now check file manager. you should see both.

this happened to me, and this is how I fixed it.


(btw, a quick search would have found this: N810 - no internal or external memory )

Good luck!

I guess I found the solution:

If I have the USB cable connected, then the disks are not visible to the device itself... I need to disconnect USB first...

Ah yes, I forgot about that. There's a bug (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4002) filed about this confusing behaviour, where apparently this will not be fixed for Diablo nor Fremantle, but is targeted to be fixed in Harmattan. Hmm.
