[Bug 1389021] Re: Does not detect hotplugged storage device (exfat)

 

Same thing here.

Prior to upgrading to ubuntu 14.10 the SD Card of my camera used to be
automatically mounted when I plugged it in. Now, this does not happen
and mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt returns:

mount: /dev/sdb1: 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.

mount -t exfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt does the job.

fdisk -l /dev/sdb  returns:

Disk /dev/sdb: 63 GB, 63482711040 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7718 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

  Does not detect hotplugged storage device (exfat)

  exfatfsck /dev/sdb1 finds no error

  mount -t exfat works, it's just auto-mounting that doesn't. 
  '-t' is required though, not sure if that's normal:
  mount: /dev/sdb1: 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.
