It allows you to easily mount any or all connected drives or partitions so you can access the data on them. Since only the first fat32 gets auto-mounted, the othhers have to be mounted manually. Plus, this lets you mount other filesystems like ext4 and ntfs.

Mine seems to be working fine with busybox 1.19.0 with both ntfs and fat32 thumb drives. I'll keep looking and see if i can find your crash problems.

Works well for me. Mounted 2 thumb drives formatted fat32 (separately, did not try simultaneously).

Was hoping this would allow me to mount my Samsung captivate to make transferring files from phone to tablet easier. Never recognized that a device was plugged. I tried the phone with multiple settings, mass storage, mtp application, usb debugging on/ off, etc but was never able to see the device. The phone recognized that usb was connected. Phone is rooted running mosaic gingerbread rom

I was able to mount my DesireHD in mass storage mode using manual mount commands as well as this app. You have to wait a minute or so for the mass storage partitions to be found by Honeycomb.

To look behind the scenes run the following terminal commands using a terminal emulator or in adb shell as su
1. Unplug the device
2. run "ls /dev/block" and notice the entries there
3. Plug in your phone with Mass Storage enabled
4. run "ls /dev/block" and you should notice some new entries (sda, sda1, etc)
5. if you only notice sda then wait a minute or so and repeat 4 again as honeycomb is still scanning your phone for partitions.
6. Launch the app in this thread and you should see your phones drives as sda1, sda2, etc, etc.

*treads lightly* .. forgive me, what's the difference between this and ntfs mount?
Will this provide device support as well say.. mouse? I can mount a 1tb drive with ntfs, watch movies transfer files etc.
Look forward to feedback..

  1. This lets you also mount ext2 thru ext4 (if you have linux drives) and additional fat32 volumns.
  2. It can mount/unmount them all in one click, usefull if you have multiple partitions on a single drive, or if your using a hub to connect several drives or usb sticks.
  3. It displays all the drive info such as filsystem type, size, and label, to make it easier to identify which partition is which in the list (usefull for multi partitions/drives)
  4. A (very near) future feature will allow symlinks using the drive label ( /mnt/MyDriveLabel > /mnt/sda1, etc.)
  5. Another (very near) future feature, will be to launch your file manager directly from this app, by tapping the mount point. (still working on this)

I've rewritten about 60% of the code in the past two days to make it more responsive when dealing with multiple drives/partitions. While the initial scan takes about 30 seconds to pick up 11 partitions from 4 drives, refreshing the devices only takes a few seconds, unless you change drives. It's now keeping track of drive signatures so that it only has to lightly scan the drives to see what's changed.

Also, when 3.1 comes out, I think I'll be able to make it auto-detect plugin/unplug events and auto-update the screen. And maybe an auto-mount and/or auto-launch features. Right now there is no broadcasts for the plugin/unplug events on the usb bus.

I'm not sure.. i think it would require a kernel module. I'll see what I can dig up.
