Is your SD card partitioned ? If not, this is normal from Link2SD.
Your problem is that your SD card is not mounted at all (no /storage/ExtSdCard folder).
Did you try your SD card with another device ?
Unfortunately, some users report problems with ScanDisk SD Cards on Samsung devices, it may also come from the brand.

I dont think my SD card is partitioned.. i mean I have never changed/ created anything.. should it b partitioned automatically or i should change something? cuz i havent changed anything..
so anyway, how do I partition my sd card?
thank you very much

SD card partition is made with a Partition wizard tool on a PC with memory card reader. You can also use CWM recovery.
SD card partition erases the whole content of the SD card, so be sure to make a backup before.
For low end devices with few internal memory, it can be useful to create a 2nd partition on the SD card to link applications into it and save place in internal memory (link2SD does it perfectly).
But for our devices, i'm not sure this is useful because internal storage is quite big already.
You can still move applications on the SD card with link2SD (it does not need 2dn SD card partition to work anyway) :
select the app in the list, then select "move to SD card"

Move to SD missing

Hello all,
i have a problem here with my samsung y because i want to move apps to SD card but i don't have that option. In the tutorial i have seen there is an option that allow you to move to SD card. How i need to procede? I have root, link2sd and AppMgr III
Thank for help guys

questions belong in the question and answer section
create a 2nd ext partition on your sd card using cwm (note your sd card will be formatted during this process so backup)
then use link2sd to link your apps to your sd card (note you will require a kernel that supports ext partitions)
please search for a guide for link2sd

In link2sd, you can move apps to sd card by clicking on the app>move to sd card

[Q] Samsung GTI8730 how to use the sd card as internal storage?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792157
It works great!
Solution can be to use the sd card as internal storage? /system/etc/vold.fstab not exist
How do I change it? Anyone who can help?
please
Thank you

[FYI] [Solution] Can't format sd card as internal.

This is a very small post as you can see..
I have observed that many of the users are having trouble while flashing most of the custom ROMs available for K3 note.
I myself was facing this problem.
After any Android KitKat update system doesn't allow the SD card to be used as default storage.
Most of the apps required permission to read write and edit files.
For example if you have encrypted any files on your SD card using ES Explorer then you cannot decrypt it unless you give it permission to write on SD card and sometimes it doesn't even ask for permission.
Well there is a simple solution to this thing.
What I did is I install Xposed installer for nogat.
And there is an Xposed module called XinternalSD which allows external SD card to be used as internal SD, basically it provides a false path to the internal SD.
Hope this helps..

can i use magisk instead of xposed?
