[SailfishX] Camera won't save to SD card [answered]
asked 2017-10-30 23:32:47 +0300
After formatting my 128 GB SD card to F2FS, the option to save pictures/videos to the SD card results in "selected storage not available". My symlink to store gPodder podcasts to the SD card works fine. System Settings-->Storage shows the SD card mounted. Does the System Settings-->Apps-->Camera-->Storage setting to store items on the SD card only work if it's FAT32 (which obviously won't work for a larger card)? Even here, it shows the remaining space on the SD card but returns the "selected storage not available" error message.
Similar (albeit not the same) problem here, I was looking forward to using f2fs in action, but, alas, it seems to be making trouble when SFX writes to it: When I select it as storage for the camera, the device will reboot after about a minute of not responding, and starting the camera after that will do the same... However, I can access all data that is already on the card... (e.g. play the music and stuff on it)
