Hi,

I'm currently using a USB flash drive as /storage.
Can I format the remaining space on the SD card and use it as partition?
I've tried formating as EXT4 but the partition isn't showing in OE.

TIA

Don't see why not. The second SD partition should mount automatically, I think - have you tried mounting it manually to make there are no errors? Anything in dmesg?

I've tried mounting manually...
can't find /dev/mmcblk0p2 in /etc/fstab

This did it:
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /storage/SD/

What command are you using, sounds like you're not mounting it correctly.

I'd normally specify the filesystem myself, eg.:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /storage/SD

Just make sure the partition exists - what do you get with the following:
Code:
ls -la /dev | grep mmcblk

Added to autostart.sh and now works fine, thanks.

Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /storage/SD
