Using SD card as external storage for Beaglebone Black - linux

Question

After following instructions found here:
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:MicroSD_As_Extra_Storage
and here:
http://electronicsembedded.blogspot.com/2014/10/beaglebone-black-using-sd-card-as-extra.html?showComment=1434418179676#c2761158033046523777
I am still having trouble. I use the code it says to use and followed the instructions, I get 3 solid LED on the board upon load up with the SD inserted, and Windows 7 doesn't detect it at all.
The board works fine without the SD inserted, I can boot up and login via SSH and it is detected by Windows.
The code for my uEnv.txt is as follows:
mmcdev=1
bootpart=1:2
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro
optargs=quiet
and I also added to the fstab file:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card auto auto,rw,async,user,nofail 0 0
Some results from checking the filesystem, my drive is called 'BBB_Ext'. This is after booting without the SD in it, and then putting it in after bootup:
root#beaglebone:~# df -h

Here is more details on the fdisk:

Any help would be appreciated. I figured since this is Linux related that the question is applicable to SO, if it's better off in SE plz let me know.

Answer 1

For what I got, the uEnv.txt should be (saved on your SD card):
mmcdev=1
bootpart=1:2
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro
optargs=quiet
And add below line in /etc/fstab
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/data auto rw 0 0

Answer 2

Ok I believe I resolved the issue (for anyone who cares)
After looking at the fdisk log I realized that I needed to change the fstab line to be:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/card auto rw 0 0
and then I also changed the uEnv.txt to be:
mmcdev=1
bootpart=1:2
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro
optargs=quiet
From my understanding it was trying to boot off of a disk that wasn't there and that caused the problem. In addition, I didn't fix the fstab to be the correct port for the drive, which can be seen at the bottom of the fdisk check:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk1p1 2048 31115263 15556608 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
