Ubuntu

Unable to mount 64 GB Volume

Asked by Simon

I'm unable to mount my 64GB SD card. I receive the following message after inserting the SD card in to the port. The card worked prior when I used it running Windows 8

* Unable to mount 64 GB Volume

Error mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /media/simon/3930-3765: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/mmcblk0p1" "/media/simon/3930-3765"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

I have to add that I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and so far I'm pleased with the OS. The SD card is for my GoPro camera, which I also tried to connect via the USB port and received the same message.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try to install the exfat support:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Then reinsert the card.

If it does not mount automatically, try:
sudo mount.exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /your/mount/point

Thank you!

sudo apt install exfat-utils exfat-fuse
fixed this for me as well. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.

Is this because the card is 64 GB and is SDHC rather than the older SD cards that have worked forever?
