Sorry, I forgot that people are trying to use Juno, am I correct? In which case, I beleive the Android port is being kept 'close to AOSP' so doesn't have any Linaro patches for proper device integration. So you'll have to mount it by hand, something like:
Yes, this is on Juno.
but then I beleive Android won't actually see this as official 'external storage', so that may have an effect on what you can do with it.
Yes, so in the storage option of the settings menu, I see 488MB of internal memory. If I mount the sdcard using mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda6 /mnt, would I have to manually install apps in the sdcard location? cause surely Android can’t see it?
I doubt Android would see it, because it doesn't know that it's the 'sdcard' without some device configuration files not present on Juno builds.
I was also going to say that I'm not sure you can install Apps on 'external' media anyway, but typing 'adb help' shows that 'adb install' has a -s option which "means install on SD card instead of internal storage".
