I would try "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb"

If it does not show any suitable filesystems, then that's the problem and not any file permissions.


Hi,

I deleted the 'eric' directory in /media as I may have done something weird to it a while back. I'm always screwing with things. Then I did your suggestion.

eric@dragonEnvy:/dev$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb

        Disk /dev/sdb: 57.86 GiB, 62109253632 bytes, 121307136 sectors
        Disk model: Ultra Fit
        Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
        Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
        I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I couldn't see sdb in the Disks GUI which runs as root earlier today but now I can. In Disks the volume is seen but unknown. I reformatted / partitioned the volume as EXT3. I told it to overwrite everything with zeros and it looks like it's going to take about an hour. However this is all a very good sign.

Now back to trying to figure out the sdcard.  I wager the issue is similar.

Thanks all!

Eric C
