emmc vs. sdcard confusion - ARGH!

<rant>
I just accidentally formatted my 32GB microSD card and lost a cr4pload of important data because CWM and CyanogenMod have opposing views on which mountpoint to use for internal/external storage. I knew this going in, and I took a chance when formatting so I'm not blaming anyone here but myself. However, GODDAMMIT I wish someone would pick a standard and STICK with it. I see that in CM10 now, we have sdcard0/sdcard1. I wonder if CWM will follow suit...?

Get your sd card out of the phone and plug it into your pc.. There's loads of tools to recover your data intact

Just Google some... As for that issue well I have 3 android devices the only 1 with this issue its note.. What I do its to create 2 empty folders called AAAAEXTSD and ZZZZEXTSD so when ever I gotta do stuff from where ever or to where ever I know Wich memory I'm on..

Just a workaround

Thanks dude. I used Recuva and managed to get SOME data back, but half of it was incomplete (probably Recuva's fault).

The problem with your workaround is that you have no way of seeing what is on the sdcard from CWM.

Storage in general seems to be ... strange. Even in CM9 itself unter Settings -> Storage, there is only one format option. It says "Format SD Card", but it appears under the "Internal Storage" header. God knows which memory that actually formats; I'm not about to try it.

i always take out my external sd before i do any formatting in cwm..pain in the arse but its foolproof

Best n safe way to format sd card is to connect to pc as mass storage and format
@op
Search undelete application from market, if you cant get, search 'root call blocker' and find appl developed by same developer.
If this can help to recover data.
