• /data/media/0 (internal storage (TWRP))
• /sdcard1 (internal storage (ORANGEFOX))
• /external_sd (TWRP path to SD Card (if any))

You can use the default configuration file as a starting point. Below follows the detailed information on what each setting does (also described in the file itself); also which setting is support by what package. If an required entry is missing from your configuration file, the default setting will be added to your configuration file.
