For sdcard, it's because we are exporting EXTERNAL_STORAGE as /mnt/sdcard and then trying to symlink /mnt/sdcard with /sdcard. It fails because /sdcard already exists. ACL gave a couple of options which we will have to look at. Personally, I think we just create a different folder name in initrd like /sdc1 so that Android can have at /sdcard.
I'm working on this right now actually. /sdcard is only for backwards compatibility and thats why its a symlink.

This link explains it better than i ever could

Edit: alternate option is to go back to the way it was. But some apks were bitching about it and this is why i ventured into this.

Edit2: Ok fixed.. we need to mod the initrd to remove /sdcard before android starts. easy 1 line fix.

But there are 2 fixes in android (it shold be one). I'm not sure why we have 2 files for vold there should only be one. But to be safe i modded both. /system/etc/vold.conf has /sdcard in there as the path which needs to be modded to /mnt/sdcard. Same goes for vold.fstab

once this is done, restart and boom sdcard back to action. I'm going to upload a new android shorty.. hopefully for a last time cuz im hoping nate will be able to embed the reocvery in the nhb so we can being useing the updates for these simple fixes ..

anything else i should look into before i pass out?
