Hi !
 From the output of command

    gpart list da0

I get that the type of Micro SD's partition type is 'ntfs'. Following is 
the output:

    Providers:

    1. Name: da0s1

        Mediasize: 250106347520 (233G)

        Sectorsize: 512

        Stripesize: 0

        Stripeoffset: 33554432

        Mode: r0w0e0

        efimedia: HD(1,MBR,00000000,0x10000,0x1d1dc000)

        rawtype: 7

        length: 250106347520

        offset: 33554432

        type: ntfs

But using Partition Magic on my Hiren's Boot CD, I find that the real 
partition type is Exfat.

Using the command

    ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /media/kingston/

I get the following error message:

    NTFS signature is missing.

    Failed to mount '/dev/da0s1': Invalid argument

    The device '/dev/da0s1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.

    Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a

    partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

So, to mount an Exfat, one needs to install 'sysutils/fusefs-exfat'.

I hope the 'gpart' tool will be fixed to show the correct type.
