Just some more details

I was able to save screenshots and camera images with this bug despite gallery being broken. with the patch applied I could view the gallery, however saving failed.

[Dale Harvey (:daleharvey)]

The non ability to save now works, I dont think its part of the diagnostic, may be some mistake on my part 

$ adb shell vdc volume list
110 sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4
200 Volumes listed.

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

The 4 at the end of the "110 sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4" line tells me that at the time you executed that command, the volume was mounted on the phone (which is the expected state for reading/writing to the sdcard to work on the phone).

The 4 will change to a 7 when the volume is shared with the PC. Any other number is some intermediary state between mounting/sharing.

When you see 4, then /mnt/sdcard should show up in the output of the df or mount commands. When it's any other number, then it shouldn't show up.
