+= Modify Internal SDcard storage to External SDcard =
+
+The Samsung Galaxy XCover2 (S7710) has only roughly 500MB left on emulated internal storage which is not enough these days if you like to install a lot of applications. There are many tricks around to move data/cache/applications to the external SD card, but all of them has it quirks. Since large SDcard these days are fast and cheap enough having I think this could be done better, by simply discarding the internal /data storage and use an sdcard partition instead.

+What I will do is modify the {{{/etc/fstab.samsungskomer}}} to change the mount of the ext4 {{{/data}}} of the internal location {{{/dev/block/mmcblk0p25}}} to the second partition of the external SDCard {{{/dev/block/mmcblk1p2}}}.
