Help how to mount SD-Card

[chadwick]

I think it's formatted as exfat - at least on my desktop 'file -sL' says 'DOS/MBR boot sector' when run against an exfat formatted partition. The kernel on my desktop supports exfat so I can mount it, but it looks like PmOS may not. Perhaps look for an exfat package to install suitable kernel driver and userspace tools? If those don't exist then you'll have to reformat in a format it can mount.

Cheers, I will dig around for alpine/pmos if they provide exfat packages. I last recall reading somewhere there is such packages, but search through the apk by that name, nothing has show up, it might have changed its name or packages being quashed somehow.

Just to add a solution to the question if anyone might be facing the same problems.

In order for your PmOS to read a "DOS/MBR" (i.e. exfat) sdcard, you needed to install "fuse-exfat"

Code:

sudo apk add fuse-exfat
sudo mount -t exfat -o ro /dev/mmcblk0p2 ~/SDCard

For permanent mounting, please refer to the previous threads, edit your /etc/fstab, and use 'exfat' as the files type.
