Hacking Help with SD card upgrade Strang issue.

[dubsmachine]

Hi,
I have a Vita 2000.
I have sdvita installed and working great on my original SD but I am trying to upgrade to a larger one.

I made the SD format with the image etc before copying all my data from sd1 to sd2.

When I turn on the Vita and run h-encore as normal I get the message "less than 40mb available on memory card".

In Vita shell it sees the SD as UX0 but doesn't read the size.
I can see all files there just fine.
If I try to run a game it starts but comes up not enough memory and closes.

If I use tf card too to switch back to sdvita as UMA0 then it sees the SD card as 256gb and 190gb used correctly.

I have tried several times and tried to switch back and forth the UMA0 / UX0 but I am stuck on this point of it seeing the sdvita as UX0 but somehow not reading it fully.

Any advice?

Large cards have to be formated with cluster of 32/64k. Try 64k

yeah format 64k cluster size on 256gb SD cards.

 

[dubsmachine]

Thanks both, giving it a go but takes a while to copy everything across again after format.

Thanks guys, format 64kb and everything is working perfectly off the bat no extra steps needed. [emoji4]
