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.

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.

Do we want to mandate a location for all platforms? The AOSP example for platforms without an SD card have the storage at /storage/emulated/legacy not /storage/sdcard0.
Wouldn't we be better just to remove reference to /sdcard from init.rc (which was added by us and not present upstream)?

Yes I meant removing it completely and handling things in init.<hardware>.rc . Few more legacy stuff have been added into init.rc which we need to revisit and see if they are needed.
