[Q] Need help understanding SD INT/EXT on the Vibrant

---

Im not new to installing Roms on Android devices but Im having a hard time understanding the SD card setup. I realize the internal is the 16GB and the External is whatever you make it. I have a 8GB CL6 I installed and am not sure how the phone determines what goes on each.

I noticed Clockwork installs on the internal. Im about to flash Vibrant6 and am not sure if an ext3/4 partition would benefit me on the external. What tells the phone where to store the cache and files. Do all roms have to be flashed from the internal card? Looking for some clarification. Thanks.

I copy my roms on the External Sd Card and then I use Clockwork to boot into recovery and install from there.

I thought clockwork only sees the internal "sdcard" (/system/sdcard)

thats where i was confused. Nandroid backups are on internal, as well as the rest of clockwork files. not sure if its rom specific that dalvic and apps use the external over internal. should have just been NAND, thats what Sammy does for a job.
