I have an exFAT filesystem in a microSD card (devide /dev/sdi
appears in dmesg
when I plug it using a microSD to USB adapter). The card works on Android, and I want to mount it in Fedora 23. I tried these:
mount /dev/sdi1 /mnt/gn-sd
mount -t exfat /dev/sdi1 /mnt/gn-sd
mount.exfat /dev/sdi1 /mnt/gn-sd
mount -a -t exfat /dev/sdi1 /mnt/gn-sd
All of them give the very same output:
FUSE exfat 1.2.3
Yet, the device is not mounted anywhere. Nothing happened, mount
command shows nothing. The command fsck /dev/sdi1
simply gives
fsck from util-linux 2.28
and exits immediately with exit code 0. The command sfdisk -l /dev/sdi
gives the following:
Disk /dev/sdi: 59.5 GiB, 63864569856 bytes, 124735488 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdi1 * 2048 124735487 124733440 59.5G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
and this is dmesg
output:

Any idea what is happening?
Are you sure you have exfat support? It does not come by default with most (all?) distros in Linux. First you should install these two packages,
sudo apt-get install -y exfat-utils exfat-fuse
and then you should try to mount your device.
