Fdisk shows my 2 partitions on a USB MicroSD card, but I can not mount these: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/microsd/ mount: /dev/sdc: can't read superblock sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/microsd/ mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist. lsblk only shows the root node sdc, not the partitions that fdisk shows. Ideas?

| Sep 29, 2015 at 11:20 | comment | added | Cody | @ghm1014 What if System is W95 FAT32 (LBA) here it gives no indication that it is vfat. Can you point me any resource that list system and it's corresponding filesystem. | |

| Aug 17, 2011 at 22:00 | comment | added | its_me | One last doubt. Are these the only common filesystem device files: /dev/sd* or /dev/hd* are for hard disks, /dev/cdrom for CD-ROMs and /dev/fd* for floppies. Anything else? | |

So, normally is this how I should find it on a running linux system: plugin a pen drive (example), issue the command # fdisk -l and find the device (/dev/*) & its filesystem (vfat, ntfs, hpfs, ext etc). Right?

I am on a fedora VM (Windows 7 host). I just plugged in a usd drive (Windows doesn't recognize it because the VM is running) and issued the command $ fdisk -l. But it only lists Linux and Linux LVM file systems (only two). Not vfat, ntfs, hpfs or ext etc.
