[Q] [View] - SD Card location in file managers

---

Hey all,

I added a 32GB micro SD card to my view and (being a Windoz guy), I don't understand why it shows up under /mnt/sdcard/ as ext-sd. Is there a way to have it mount so that it is under /mnt/ext-sd? I guess I just don't understand how Android manages these things. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that, when opening any file manager, it defaults the view to /mnt/sdcard/ as a starting place to browse files. Does anyone else find this odd? Or is it just me?

If you use Astro you can set the home directory to ext_sd in the preference tab.
