[Solved] Problem with a SD card which I can't mount

jiehong · 2009-03-19 19:20:33

Hello everybody!

So, when I'm plugging in my SD card ( from my camera ) then I use the dmesg command to know that it is known as /dev/mmcblk0

Then I try to mount it by pmount /dev/mmcblk0 SD but it doesn't work :
The error message is : bad block or bad fiel system type.

I've tried the "-t" option to use a specific file system, but none work at all.

My SD card is working properly on another computer so I know it is fine. But I don't know what file system a SD card uses.

I really hope you'll help me!!!

Are you member of the storage group? -> 'groups'
Outputs of 'fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0' and 'blkid /dev/mmcblk0'?

Yes, I'ma member of the storage group of course.

# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disc identifier : 0x00000000

Device                           Amorce    Begin        End            Blocs     Id  System

And blkid /dev/mmcblk0 don't give anything.

Thanks zyghom, so :

blkid /dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="64A5-F009" TYPE="vfat"

And what am I doing of that now ?

jiehong · 2009-03-19 20:27:39

ok, I've found.

I just need to type :
pmount /dev/mmcblk0p1 and that's working.

Thank you very much and I really appreciate that you spend time for a newb like me.

zyghom · 2009-03-19 20:27:39

in one terminal:

tail -f /var/log/messages.log

in second as root:

mount  -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
