I installed Cog's 2.2 Froyo beta. Working great so far but today i noticed that my external sd card was not readable by the music player... then i realized when i browse to /sdcard/sd it says "directory empty".

Then finally i noticed that it's now mounted as /sdcard/external_sd

Listed like this in /proc/mounts:

Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/block/vold/179:9 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
Does anyone know how to remount this so it shows up as /sdcard/sd so that apps can access the data on the external sd card?

Yes it seems that it was renamed but I also have not had any issues with Music player pro finding my music, I did have a ruff time getting TIB to use the right folder for back ups but got that squared away

i noticed the same thing too. but never had any issues with musicplayer or other apps seeing the data. i did also delete the empty "sd" folder though, maybe that will fix it.

To think it was that easy.... lol

Thanks for the tip worked perfectly for me, as soon as I deleted it the media scanner ran and everything is happy again!
