Sansa e200 - USB - MicroSD and internal memory mounting order

(1/1)

snow77:
Would it be possible to mount the SD card first (if found)? This would allow devices that only support a single partition to mount the potentially larger SD card (such as car receivers). But still allow both partitions to show up otherwise.

gevaerts:
You don't want to change mount order for that (mounting is unrelated to usb).

If you uncomment the #define HIDE_FIRST_DRIVE in usb_storage.c and recompile, you'll have a build that behaves the way you want for USB. Of course this disables USB access to the internal flash entirely, so that's probably not what you want.

You could install a regular build, and copy the rockbox.mi4 file from the special build somewhere on the device, and "play" that to boot into the modified build. You'll then have to reboot to get back to the regular build again of course when you're done with the USB thing.

Or you could add an option for this. That shouldn't be too hard. Maybe I'll find some time to add that

I uncommented HIDE_FIRST_DRIVE and made a special build, copied the alternate mi4 file and "played" into it.  It worked!

An option to toggle this mode would be great, but this is a fine workaround in the mean time.  All I have to do is "play" the original rockbox.mi4 and its back to normal.

Thanks!

I have now added such a setting, in r30489

Nice, I tested it out and it works great.
