If boot Android from eMMC, the primary storage is VFAT partition of eMMC, mount to /mnt/sdcard.

The secondary storage in external SD card, mount to /mnt/extsd.

You may find the file in external SD card cannot be deleted by File Explorer, such as ASTRO, ES File Explorer and Zipper7.

When vold mount external SD card, the file group id is media_rw, permissions is ----rwxr-x, 0x702. File Explorer has no permission to delete these files.

If change the permission to ----rwxrwx, 0x700, the file in external SD card can be deleted.

diff --git a/Volume.cpp b/Volume.cpp
