Ok, the Glow '21 (Glow4 Gentoo) does use /data/media/0/spsd
Three shell scripts are used for this:

/system/bin/initial_usb_mass.sh
/system/bin/ums_open_resize.sh
/system/bin/ums_close_resize.sh

So, apparently this stuff can grow, so you've got no real limitation.

You can do a mount command:

Code:

$ mount
...
/dev/loop0                   5232656      52   5232604   1% /mnt/media_rw/spsd
...

The default is 5G. You can delete spsd, fine-tune initial_usb_mass.sh and have whatever size you want. Down to almost nothing is easy. Removing it entirely takes some cleaning.

My advice (as always) shun UMS.
