Public bug reported: It used to work then stopped for some reason.
Disk /dev/sdb: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x7c367968 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 63 488392064 488392002 232.9G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT exfatfsck /dev/sdb1 finds no error mount -t exfat works, it's just auto-mounting that doesn't. '-t' is required though, not sure if that's normal: mount: /dev/sdb1: more filesystems detected. This should not happen, use -t <type> to explicitly specify the filesystem type or use wipefs(8) to clean up the device.
