When I insert a USB stick or camera flash card I get the following error:  unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   Is there a simple way to add exFAT support to Ubuntu without kernel patching?

In Ubuntu 13.04 there was an option to use the PPA by Relan in order to get ExFat functionality. Seeing that in Ubuntu this functionality is now available from the repositories without the PPA I tried this but failed to make it work.  So my question is how do I enable exfat support?

I want to format my USB stick to ext4 and just use as I would any other typical non-linux format drive (FAT32, exFAT, NTFS).   That is to say, I want to be able to plug the usb stick into any of my linux machines, and read/write to it without needing to adjust permissions, like doing chmod or chown stuff.  I would prefer to use GUI partition software like GParted, rather than command-line commands, though I welcome any solution!  I'm sure a post like this is duplicate flag heaven for some, but after browsing 6~10 SO and forum posts from google, I didn't find a simple solution to my question. Seemed like everything was about adjusting permissions on a per-user basis. Maybe you just cannot use ext4 drives with the same brainless convenience as NTFS.

How do I mount a partition with UFS filesystem (FreeNAS) in Ubuntu 11.10?  I'm a total Ubuntu newbie and just switched from FreeNAS.  There should be ll the info I need I guess, but if anyone would help me get going i'll by glad =)

I tried a few utils and none of them worked. Either USB wasnt supported or the drive was 'recognized'. I am trying to figure out if i should dump the drive or not. Its only a year old but the warranty is only a year which is a pity.

Problem statement: I have an external USB drive that won't mount.   Context:   I neither have nor desire access to MS Windows.  See 1.  External USB drive is NTFS formated. There is no RAID. I've been a Linux user for many years and am not afraid of the CLI.  I would rather not wipe it and start from scratch but it isn't critical if I can't avoid it.    Error looks like:  Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /media/dude/External HD: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sdc1" "/media/dude/External HD"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.  (udisks-error-quark, 0)

I made a bootable USB drive of the downloadable Ubuntu 16.10, ran, and installed from it.  Fine.  Now after making some stock additions (like Samba, Wine, and such) I'd like to make a USB bootable copy of my particular Ubuntu.  It's still plenty small enough to fit on a stick.  Can it be done?

After many unsuccessful trials based on almost everything about this topic on the Internet, I decided to ask this question again. There is almost  in this platform, but it did not work. That's why I am here.  I want to have Ubuntu 18.04 installed on my USB memory stick (SanDisk Cruzer Glide 32GB) with a persistent storage of more than 4GB (at least 23GB in my case).  I used MiniTool partition wizard to format the stick (NTFS) on Windows. Then, I used Universal USB Installer 1.9.8.2 to install Ubuntu 18.04 on the stick. Here, I tried to format the stick either fat32 or ntfs, but nothing changed. Later, I used another Ubuntu to delete the casper-rw file and create another partition with the same name by following the steps given in the link given above. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it working although I tried almost all combinations.  Can anyone give a thorough list of steps to follow in order to install it on the stick properly?  Edit: I gave ear to @c-s-cameron 's comment below and used YUMI to do that, and it worked. I believe all other answers would work, but I dont have time to give a try for all of them. Thanks all, again!

I have a USB-stick (used as an installation medium). Now I need to install a driver from a restricted folder on that device). But how do I get the device path to my USB-stick (e.g. /dev/sda3 so I can mount it using the mount command?  I have read the answer to  but fdisk -l shows nothing to me.

I have a USB drive formatted with NTFS. I would like to use "compress contents to save disk space" option, although it is greyed out.    It works fine on the C: drive. Any suggestions?

I made an image of my entire disk with  dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/external_media/sda.img   Now the problem is I'd like to mount an ext4 filesystem that was on that disk but  mount -t ext4 -o loop /media/external_media/sda.img /media/sda_image   obviously gives a superblock error since the image contains the whole disk (MBR, other partitions) not just the partition I need. So I guess I should find a way to make the disk image show up in the /dev/ folder...  Does anyone know how to do that?  PS: I can always dd back the image to the original disk, but that would be very inconvenient (I updated the OS and I'd like to keep it as it is)

What USB drive filesystem works out of the box on Windows, Linux, and OS X so that, when I give a 64GB USB drive to my dad, I don't have to tell him to first type in sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils ntfs-3g in the terminal, for example?

I am running a live CD with Ubuntu 16.04 and I am trying to create a persistent image on a usb.  I have tried everything, but nothing is working.  I am on a Toshiba satellite c-50 b.   Please help, it is important.

I'm trying without success to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my Toshiba Portege.   I want to remove Windows 7 and I tried with the automatic partitioning from the USB installer (I found that compared to previous Ubuntu's version it is getting more complicated).   When it finally started installing (first time without any bar of progress, very annoying, then I shut down and tried again and the progress was shown), it is stack on   Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #2 of SCI1 (0,0,0) (sda)   and in the details there are many errors like  /usr/lib/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:18: Source ID 86689 was not found when attempting to remove it Glib.source_remove(self.timeout).   I let it run all the night but it is still there.  I also got the error:  The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu.

When I try to install or boot Ubuntu from USB I get these errors relating to nouveau:    fifo: write fault ... REGION VIOLATION ... init failed   Any possible fixes?

I was using:  dd  if=/path/to/my/ubuntuiso/ubuntu.iso  of=/dev/sdb1  bs=4M  &amp;&amp;  sync   In order to create bootable Ubuntu USB drives on older Ubuntu versions. It was working perfectly. Sometimes I used the Startup Disk Creator program, which  worked well.  But when I use the same methods on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I get some warnings while formatting it afterwards.   The installation media works as expected, but when I try to format that USB stick after my work is done, I get the following warning :    The partitioning of that Pendrive looks strange :    And it also shows my 16GB pendrive as 64GB.  After struggling a lot with Gparted, I will somehow format it. But Why is it happening like this ?? Is there any better methods of creating bootable Ubuntu in 16.04 ?  EDIT : there is a related question . But my question is not about how to format it properly. My question is "How to create a bootable USB without that errors." &amp; "Wht are the causes of that error"

I am a new user for Ubuntu. I downloaded 13.10 yesterday and made a bootable USB with universal USB installer on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 laptop which is now using UEFI; everything appeared OK.  When I booted from the LiveUSB I got the choices of trying or installing Ubuntu but both of them keep giving me these error:  [ 1.929082] kernel panic-not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0.0)   Please tell me what is going wrong?
