I've got a simple symlink:
ln -s /media/sdcard/5E00-B6EB/media/Pictures/Camera /home/nemo/Pictures/Camera
...which stopped working in mid July. Any reason why the camera can't save to the SDCard any longer?

I've reformatted the SDCard to ext4 and changed the ownership of the card to nemo:privileged:
devel-su chown -R /media/sdcard/xxx-xxx
...then copied the old Pictures and Videos folder onto the card and made symlinks of the old folders.
rm -R /home/nemo/Pictures
rm -R /home/nemo/Videos
ln -s /media/sdcard/xxx-xxx/Pictures /home/nemo/Pictures
ln -s /media/sdcard/xxx-xxx/Videos /home/nemo/Videos
lastly I stuck in a hidden .nomedia-file in the card root so that there wouldn't appear any duplicates in the Gallery:
touch .nomedia-file
@schturman: Thanks for your help. It's very much appreciated.
Would that approach also work for android_storage? I have gone the btrfs way, created subvolumes, mount scripts and system services (https://together.jolla.com/question/40802/how-to-format-your-usd-card-to-share-space-with-android/). It works, but I would always prefer the least complex solution.
ziellos ( 2016-08-12 09:46:06 +0300 )editThe media folders (Pictures/Videos) on the SDCard disappeared today. Not 100% sure what was the cause of this but I did reboot the phone after loosing mobile data connectivity out of the house. Rebooting at home hasn't reproduced the loss of media though. What I do have is two media folders on the SDCard. One is located in 5E00-B6EB and the other on 97675dde-a6a7-4fd4-8510-d73f24eed858. The former contains folders which I recreated after them being lost. The later folder with the 32 character name seems to be updated or recreated after each reboot and also contains the previously missing pictures and videos. What is the difference between these folders? Should I make a symlink to the 32 character folder?
