I'm assuming this lovely feature still works fine with firmware 2.5.1?

https://github.com/softapalvelin/kob.../virtual_sd.sh So, if you change this line Code:
mount --bind $grive_sync_settings/sd /mnt/sd Code:
mount --bind $grive_sync_settings/sd/subdir /mnt/sd |

I have not yet tried on my Aura (not sure I am going to keep it anyway), but, although I know that the lack of SD Card Slot on the mini is the problem, is there anyway that could work with the mini ?

There's also another hack that forces Kobo firmware to scan for new content. You can send "usb plugged" event to the firmware and then "usb unplugged". Problem is that sending "usb plugged" event will disconnect the wlan.. I think it's not a good thing if it happens in the middle of synchronization. usb plugged: Code:
echo usb plug add >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status Code:
echo usb plug remove >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status I don't know any other hacks that can update the library. I wish there would be cleaner way to update library. Once I compiled sqllite to ARM processor and installed it to my Kobo touch, but I had no success inserting content to the library using that. |

Sync Works like a charm. Thanks.
My Question: Is there a way to mount the virtual sd as drive when plugged in to pc. (Instead of the real sd card.) |

If you really want to mount virtual SD as a drive, I think it's not possible, but I'm not 100% sure. When user clicks "connect to computer" in eReader the firmware executes "/usr/local/Kobo/udev/usb" script. It uses this code to create the drives: Code:
if [ -e /dev/mmcblk1p1 ]; then LUNS=/dev/mmcblk0p3,/dev/mmcblk1p1 else LUNS=/dev/mmcblk0p3 fi ... /sbin/insmod /drivers/$PLATFORM/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.ko file=$LUNS stall=1 removable=1 $PARAMS |

Thanks for the answer spMatti.
That the files are on /mnt/onboard/.grive-sync/sd I knew. Just thought it would be more comfortable if they were accessible from a mounted drive. That Firmware executes this usb-script I noticed to. Thought: maybe one could place the mount-command here. ---- Did I get that right, that: If a sd-card is inserted the sync still works, but the content isn't shown because the Kobo will show the contents of the real instead of the virtual sd-card. If so, is there any reason one shouldn't use the real sd-card and if there is None, how do I do that. (Coz than the sd-card would definitively be mounted on usb-connect) --- And another one: I read in this Forum that g-drive isn't compatible with calibre. (adding and changing file names while uploading) Does that mean if the filename of my uploaded files contain specific patterns g-drive will rename them? (And since that is still called a Feature not a bug by Google, it won't change.) => This lead me to the question if dropbox or any other cloud/server-sync tool wouldn't be better (/possible)? |

Sorry that it took so long to answer.

If you could make files to synchronize to the real SD card then you would get what you wanted. /usr/local/grive-sync/config.sh contains variable "grive_sync_libfolder" that defines where files are synchronized. If the value is /mnt/sd then files are synchronized to real SD. The value was /mnt/sd earlier, but I changed it, because if scripts is executed when /mnt/sd is not mounted then some files get written to firmware partition of the internal SD. Here is the change I made. Quote:

polite enquiry: any chance to make this work on devices with no SD card - well, on the Mini really?

Only thing i noticed was that if you have the ebooks a few folders deep on the gdrive/mini the covers didnt show in sleep mode. show up fine in the library. I just followed this guide https://github.com/softapalvelin/kob...c/wiki/install |

But, this is faking a SD card? If so, the current firmware has a bug that for books on the SD card. if the cover image file used for the sleep doesn't exist, it just uses a text cover with the title and book type on it. |
