trouble mounting sd card on cm roms

i am using m8(int version) with sense based different roms nicely with s-on.
but when i want to switch to cm based roms , all is fine but no file manager seeing my sd card, setting/storage/mount sd card nothing happens after click.
seems may be kernel related?, but i dont change kernels, i just keep same and flash rom and gapps.

Soft-Bricked: Error mounting /data

So I've been running an htc one M8 on at&t, S-On, bootloader unlocked via htc-dev, with Clockworkmod Recovery and a kitkat version of pac-rom since last December. I've made and have many backups via CWM since then.

Lately its been running slowly (I think some memory leak somewhere? It works for a while but eventually chugs along till something crashes it to the lock screen) so I thought i'd update it finally. I figured i'd update to a lollipop rom and wanted to try out paranoid android to try a rom with just the features I want. Here's everything i've done till now and where I'm at.
1. Backup Everything via titanium backup and CWM
2. Wipe system/data and flash on paranoid android 5.1 from CWM
3. Get told I have too old a bootloader (3.16) and require 3.18-3.19
4. Look around online and see I need to update the firmware, acquired commonly from ota-updates.
5. Look around more and see i'll need to relock my bootloader to do so
6. fastboot oem lock <- this is where I think all my ****-ups started
7. Do something, end up just wanting to restore back to my pac-rom backup <- Don't quite remember everything around this step. I think I was looking around for a firmware update, saw my CID was CWS__001, and ended up deciding to temporarily give up on updating
8. Restore from my backup in CWM, I may have also had the error mounting /data here, don't remember
9. Stuck in pac-rom boot screen
10. Figured it was some error with the bootloader, unlocked again via htc-dev (which in turn wiped phone again)
11. tried restoring from backup, everything works until it needs to mount /data, errors out there, and here I am. Booting it just leaves it stuck at the pac-rom boot screen

I've tried formatting /data from cwm (can't because can't mount it), flashing a stock version of pac-rom from my sd-card via CWM, reflashing my recovery, and maybe some other things i'm forgetting
Anyone know how to fix this? I can't quite figure it out. It seems similar to the issue here, but that was a dead end. Here's the output of adb getvar all, which seems usually requested

I may be forgetting some info, so can provide any more if necessary. Any help getting back to my backup, or if I eventually have to return to stock to fix this, get my firmware updated and on a lollipop rom, would be appreciated.

Mounting boot partition

I have a Moto X 2013(ghost) and want to mount my boot partition out of curiosity. Either on my phone or my PC. I pulled an image of the partition with dd but I can't seem to determine the type of filesystem in the partition. The file command just labels it as data. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not that partition has a filesystem at all? I'd imagine it would have to then again it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.

Mounting sd to internal memory

Lets hope I'm in the right forum this time :) I created a thread in the assist forum but they told me to start from here. I guess they think I have a better chance to find an answer. Here it goes.

I have a tablet ZTE E9Q witch it has a very small amount of memory. Only 1gb and already the system took 900mb incliding factory apps. I need to edit the vold.fstab in order to increase the internal memory.I have watched videos on youtube and read a few threds and post here but I still can't figure it out. The lines are not the same as the ones a saw. Can anyone help me please?
This is the code.
ps: I already tried to swap 0 and 1 in the first and the second line but I got nothing.Still was the same.

Mounting sd to internal memory

Hi.I have ZTE E9Q 3G tablet and I want to mount the external sd card to internal memory. It has only 1gb. I've seen quite a few videos and read some threads but I can't figure it out.At least with the way I want it.
I want to edit the vold.fstab but I don't know which lines. Can anyone help me please? This is the text.

# Regular device mount

## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted
## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.

Mounting system rw from system app

Hello everyone!

I'm playing around building my own version of Cyanogen and I have a question for which I couldnt find an answer. I'm trying to copy new keylayout file to /system/usr/keylayout from my app. The app is being built with ROM and copying works when I ask for root permission and grant it. Is it possible to do the same operation from my app without even asking for root permission? Can a system app mount /system as rw?

Thanks in advance!

[Q] External USB drives (HDD/SSD) and mounting

How does the SATV decide what directory it will mount an external USB drive to?

/mnt/media_rw/usbdrive
/mnt/media_rw/usbdrive2
/mnt/media_rw/usbdrive3

I keep noticing mine will change from one to another each time I reboot. This is really messing with Foldermount. Does it matter what other devices are plugged in? How can I force it to a certain one? I am rooted so if this can be done from terminal, I assume it's *NIX like, I'm all ears :)

thanks

Mounting CIFS

Hey guyz,

I have a problem getting CIFS to mount, i just can't seem to get it to work nor find a solution for my GT9505
My device is rooted and "cat /proc/filesystems" does list cifs, but i keep getting invalid mount argument with cifsmanager 1.5a
After reading some articles it seems CIFS Mounting got broken in Android 4.2.x due some multi user stuff. is there a fix for the stock rom? I don't really want to use a custom room unless it has MHL support. I use it a lot
Since Cyanmogen seems to have little to no MHL support after 4 years i doubt it ever will

PS i'm still on
Android 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.0-536204

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,
Shez
