REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): Yes
DESCRIPTION:
Mounting of sdcard with FAT filesystem via SETTINGS->System->Storage is not possible. It reads “Unsupported memory card” and attempt to mount ends up with pop up “The file system is incopatible. Formatting is needed”.
Sdcard is already formatted and used to work. The scard is not visible in UI i.e file browsers but is already mounted and visible via command line in /run/media.
PRECONDITIONS:
FAT formatted sdcard, (encrypted ext4 sdcard is mounted properly)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Have already working phone with 4.3.0.15 and sdcard with FAT filesystem
Which version of File Browser are you using? If not done already, I recommend updating to version 2.5.1 from OpenRepos and check if it detects the SD card then.
For me it is mounted properly, content is visible by apps (eg, music). Only settings app does not show whole sd card just like in you case.
I have 2 partitions: one fat, second ext4. Both unencrypted.
I couldn’t reproduce your bug. Can you explain with more details how you formatted your SD Card? Like which program did you use? On which system was your SD card formatted. What are the result of:
I could not reproduce either. Tried LBA and non LBA FAT, both were working.
Maybe your card went faulty. I had a certain amount of microSD who died from one day to the other.
Log is empty. As I mentioned before sdcard is not recognized hence there is no mount/umount option in GUI. Unmounting and mounting in terminal doesn’t change a thing.
Yes, there are no errors. A log header “-- Logs begin at bla bla bla–” is visible only.
As stated before, scard is visible in terminal and FileBrowser hence 'fdisk -l" shows that sdcard and that sdcard is mounted.
The only issue is with GUI manager Settings->Storage that is useless.
Bug is still valid for 4.5.0.16.
I have tested a second FAT formatted card that works in Symbian, Android and Linux systems without issues. The same behaviour. The same is applicable for X device and 4.4.0.64 build.
