I have a samsung captivate glideSamsung Captivate Glide and it's got 4 gigs of storage that isn't main storage and isn't sdSD card memory. It shows up as a separate section under settings->storagesettings->storage and it's mounted on /sdcard/usbStorage The REAL/sdcard/usbStorage

The real physical sdSD card is mounted under /sdcard/external_sd/sdcard/external_sd.

So it's 4 gigs of free space, but I can't use it for anything because the media scanner won't pick up anything I put in there.

Is there a way to force the scanner to search particular directories?

Is it possible to add arbitrary folders to the media scanner?
