Failed to mount sdcardfs on DragonBoard 845c

#1

I build and flash by referring to this site ( AOSP/db845c - Linaro Wiki )
But failed to mount sdcardfs
when I use this image, device is normal operation
http://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/dragonboard845c/linaro/aosp-master/408/
Is there anything else to check?

#2

Which kernel version failed to mount sdcardfs? sdcardfs is discontinued since android-mainline-5.7. So if you are booting v5.7 or newer there is no sdcardfs support.

Linaro Snapshots prebuilt images boot with v5.4.y, hence you don’t see this sdcardfs mount problem there.

Thanks,

#3

Which kernel version failed to mount sdcardfs?
→ 5.4 kernel

using this command for source download
Already sdcardfs has been deleted in common-android11-5.4
Therefore, this problem still occurs in db845c

repo init -u kernel/manifest - Git at Google -b common-android11-5.4

ANDROID: sdcardfs: remove sdcardfs from system

It's no longer needed on Android devices, so remove sdcardfs core code,
and a bunch of exports that were only added so that it could be built as
a module.

Argh… I forgot about android11-5.4. Any reason you want to stick to android11-5.4? android12-5.4 still has sdcardfs support. If you want to stick to android11-5.4, I suggest you revert this commit (c6d419d9ff6ee6 ANDROID: sdcardfs: remove sdcardfs from system), since you are building your kernel from source anyway.

FWIW Android11 and beyond is not using sdcardfs. They have switched to a new feature called “scoped storage”, https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/storage, implemented using Fuse and ext4/f2fs case folding. Scoped storage code has not landed in AOSP yet, so you have to live with sdcardfs till then.
