Per @ladyada:

Mounted filesystems don't appear - i have a microSD on /sd but does not show up over wifi.

Checked via /fs/ folder on the device and it wasn't there either.

I've been thinking a lot about this and I think we'll need to require that the FS be backed by a native object for reading and writing blocks. MP actually allows for Python implemented block io but that would lead to running Python functions at anytime while other user code runs.

[ladyada]

can we do that easier if we requre using sdcardio (which is already semi-native)

[tannewt]

Yup, exactly. Using the native sdcardio or sdio rather than the Python sd card library would be required.
