> > I was able to use my micro sd card as an external hard drive. >
I first did what was recommended on this series of posts, I added: mmcdev=1 bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro optargs=quiet and saved it as "uEnv.txt" I then inserted the micro sd card into the micro sd slot and the BBB saw it as sda1. I created a directory named 'exteranal' under /media and I then mounted sda1 to media using the following: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/external -o uid=1001,gid=1001,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 I used uid and gid 1001 because that is the user I am on my BBB. I initially tried 1000 but then I could not add, copy or delete files to the 'external' folder. I am pretty happy with this outcome, but will be moving (unmounting) my sda1 and putting it in my web server folder /var/www/ (mounting it there) so that I can created mysql/php websites. Thank you all for being of great help. I learned a lot. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
