Here's my configuration:

sudo lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d5) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #7 (rev d5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM87 Express LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) 03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5227 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c) sudo file -s /dev/mmcblk0p1 /dev/mmcblk0p1: DOS/MBR boot sector

Every time I try to mount it manually I get the following:

sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/vova/ mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1: more filesystems detected. This should not happen, use -t <type> to explicitly specify the filesystem type or use wipefs(8) to clean up the device.

Can anyone help out? I can't figure this out.

    Googling suggests trying some explict filesystem type. Perhaps mount -t exfat...? Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 7:38
  • @FaheemMitha -- post an official answer and I'll accept it...I've tried a bunch of other filesystem configurations but not 'extfat', and it worked :) Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 19:25
  • Done. Does vfat not work? That's what I have used in the past. Commented Mar 9, 2015 at 2:40

Try

sudo mount -t exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/vova/

as suggested by Google, when encountering similar error messages. Better still, add a suitable line to /etc/fstab. Something like this?

UUID="insert uuid here" /media/vova exfat rw,user,noauto 0 0

You can obtain the UUID by checking for the device's UUID withblkid with the device attached to your computer. Doing this saves you from having to check which device file represents your reader.

Automating the mount would be an even better idea. I have used usbmount in the past. This may work with exfat if you add exfat to the following line in your /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf.

FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus"

which is the default, I think. I have "ntfs" added in mine. Change from VERBOSE=no to VERBOSE=yes in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf and test by plugging in. Look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for output.
