Today i successfully install emummc on my switch. I created two partitions one exfat and one fat32. When I create emummc using Hekate, I was not able to choose the partition that I want to use for emummc. I wanted to create it on the fat32 one and use my other partition to store game and homebrew stuff. Well everything works fine but when I put my sd on my computer, I can't find where Hekate create the emummc, booth partition doesn't show any use space (it suppose to take about 32Gb). I'm not sure how it work, does atmosphere keep this free space to emulate MMC on every boot? Or the space used are hidden in windows? And can I be sure that Hekate create it on my fat32 partition? Thanks!

I know but my question is, is emummc is supposed to take space on my microSD? Because after a successful installation, when I put my card in my pc, my fat32 partition is empty and my exfat have only a few Mbps of used space of usual kosmos files.

It sounds like you're not actually using emuemmc. If you can see files in both partitions, you are still running from emmc. In order to create emuemmc, the partition you want to use has to be raw (not formatted). After the emuemmc is created, you will not be able to read the filesystem on that partition from your computer. It will still show up as raw/unformatted.

I know that I run on emummc because I can boot in stock firmware 6.0 and in emummc on firmware 8.1. As Slim45 said, it show up as formatted but I'm not able see any file or the space it use... So look like it's normal! Just for my personal knowledge, anyone know why windows can't see anything? Thanks again.

The eMMC is not using a standard file system, so Windows can't read it. You will have to transfer things into emuemmc using FTP or USB.
