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.
