[SOLVED] Exact difference and meaning of mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 in android?

Issue

I am working on an application where I need to detect the sd card id only when the card is present on the device. I have viewed and tried this link and it solves my problem: href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9063161/android-get-id-of-sd-card-programmatically">Android get id of SD Card programmatically

But I didn't understand the exact meaning of mmcblk0 and mmcblk1, although I got that they are volume partitions of the memory.
Is anyone aware of that ? Please help if u know about the concept.
Thanks in advance !!


Solution

On the GT-I9100 mmcblk0 is the internal NAND (which contains 12 partitions, one of which is the internal sd card). mmcblk1 is the external sd card device. LINK2SD is hardcoded to look for mmcblk1p2.
