Hi !
From the output of command
gpart list da0
I get that the type of Micro SD's partition type is 'ntfs'. Following is
the output:
Providers:
1. Name: da0s1
Mediasize: 250106347520 (233G)
Sectorsize: 512
Stripesize: 0
Stripeoffset: 33554432
Mode: r0w0e0
efimedia: HD(1,MBR,00000000,0x10000,0x1d1dc000)
rawtype: 7
length: 250106347520
offset: 33554432
type: ntfs
But using Partition Magic on my Hiren's Boot CD, I find that the real
partition type is Exfat.
Using the command
ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /media/kingston/
I get the following error message:
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/da0s1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/da0s1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
So, to mount an Exfat, one needs to install 'sysutils/fusefs-exfat'.
I hope the 'gpart' tool will be fixed to show the correct type.
