Re: Time to drop /mnt/sdcard from init.rc?

Hi Jon,

+1 to the idea. Lets use the common sdcard location for all the platform i.e /storage/sdcard<0/1>. Please submit a patch to remove the reference and I'll ack the same.

Linaro's patches to system/core/rootdir/init.rc include

mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system

and

symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

is it time to drop these now that AOSP documentation examples have external media under /storage/sdcard0,1 etc and the docs [1] say:

    When configuring a device-specific init.rc script, the
    EXTERNAL_STORAGE environment variable must be defined as the
    path to the primary external storage. The /sdcard path must also
    resolve to the same location, possibly through a symlink.

For vexpress [2] I added

    symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard

but this is currently being overwritten by the generic init.rc.
