I am using OpenSuse 13.2 dual booting with Windows 8. The card is a Sony memory stick placed in a SD adapter from a Sony Cybershot camera. It does work in Windows 8. I did try a regular SD card from my wifes camera and that one worked. Meaning it automounted and I could look at the files. Seems like something weird with the Sony Memory stick?

Here is what happens when I try to mount it to /tmp/test:
linux-pxm9:/home/brylah # mount /dev/mspblk0 /tmp/test
mount: /dev/mspblk0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mspblk0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

So, it has no partitions.

It might be exfat.

**So if is exfat filesystem how can I get it mounted? Is the fact that it does not have a partition make it not mountable? It does have pictures on the card and I’d hate to lose them. **

No, the missing partition is not that important. But exfat is patented
technology of Microsoft, and it is simply not supported (certainly not
by openSUSE). You might have success using “fuse”, but if the card
belongs to a camera, it is easier to connect the camera via usb cable
and use MTP.

Dunno. Maybe it does not work in 13.2, as conram says. Maybe there is a
way to find out for sure if it is exfat or not, but I don’t have any
such card to test it.

Yes I am dual booting with Windows 8 and OpenSuSE 13.2. As an update, it seems regular SDcards work fine. It’s just the Sony memory stick with SD adapter that does not work. It’s not a big deal I guess as I’m sure I can just plug in the camera with the USB port. I’m just someone who when finds a probem tries to find a solution. I guess the solution to this will take some time. Thanks for everyone’s help so far.
Hi,
I don’t mean to offend you my previous post qouting robin_listas
was just saying if it can’t be read in linux windows will be able to detect
if it is an exfat. exfat is coming from windows.
