How do I mount an SD card?












3















My SD card will suddenly not automount. It works on another Mac.



Can someone provide a solution to mount with Terminal?



$ diskutil list

/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *16.0 GB disk2
1: Windows_FAT_32 NO NAME 16.0 GB disk2s1

  • I'm assuming you are using mac os x due to the "mac" remark, please add that info, including OS version, and the laptop model or if you are using a sd to usb adapter. This will help troubleshoot the issue. Do you want to fix the automount or simply mount manually?

Simply mount /dev/disk2s1 /foo Where /foo is an empty directory where you want to access the card. The normal mount point for disks on a mac is within /Volumes but since it isn't auto-mounting, you will need to create a directory somewhere. Don't mount it directly to /Volumes or you won't be able to access your HD, including your OS. You could mount it to your home directory even, below /mnt represents a directory that you've created, in this example, it's in your home directory:



$ sudo mkdir ~/mnt
$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk2s1 ~/mnt
$ cd ~/mnt


(of course if you are in your home directory you can leave out the ~/ if you want.)



You can also use the diskutil command. man diskutil to learn more about it. Are you running the same version of OS X on both machines? There are reported issues with FAT32 on Yosemite.

sudo mkdir /Volumes/rpi
sudo ext4fuse /dev/disk2s2 /Volumes/rpi -o allow_other
