After plugging one in I was able to access it through /media/furios/sd card name (i think, writing from memory… it may be one more folder deep just follow down from /media) and copy using cli.
So I think it does mount it, it just doesn’t expose it to portfolio
I had a similar problem with a VFAT SD card. I could read it but not to write to it as a non-root user. Since I don’t know how to change the mount options for the card, I reformatted it as ext4 and then I could do sudo chown and use it normally.
It would be nice to have a FAQ entry for r/w SD card access.
Portfolio does not see sd cards but otherwise it is better because Nautilus has some annoying touch screen issues – nothing too big but you will notice when you try it
Thanks for the answers. Looking at the way that nautilus mounts it, I added the following line to /etc/fstab and now the sdcard is mounted on reboot as I need it:
