advantage as there is no restriction on how much storage to be reserved

Since Android 4.x is going to be the OS installed on all Android devices
it is a big challenge for Linux distros.

The idea that the SD storage cards aren't supported for host computer
mounting from ICS or Honeycomb is simply not true and we've been down

The OP would probably want to check out this forum thread with the
solution.

I don't profess any knowledge on the current state of mptfs code but
