Android Central Question

Large sd-card 128G, partitioned into 3: exFat ; Ext2 and swap. Was working fine until something happened and the android no longer mount the partitions. Connecting the sd-cards directly to my computer and the files on the exFat are visible and ok.
Can i use the shell to mount them?
sm list-disks
disk: 179,32
sm list-volumes all
private mounted null
emulated mounted null
privatemode unmounted null

i am quite a newbie regarding shell commands and seek more info as to what is going on and fixit.
Thanks!

Turning the phone on with the card in it should mount the card.

There's no reason, though, for the swap partition - Android doesn't use it. And there's really no reason for an ext2 partition - a Linux Box can mount an exFAT partition. (If you really need an ext filesystem, at least use ext4. Ext2 doesn't do journaling [ext4 can do it, but it can be turned off].) If you're still running kernel 2.3 or earlier, you really should upgrade. (In other words, there's no reason to still be using ext2 in 2018.)
