I'm trying to read an SD card formatted with a FAT32 filesystem. It can be read in windows, but not in Ubuntu.

When I tried cat /proc/filesystems, this was the output:

> cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev cgroup nodev cpuset nodev tmpfs nodev devtmpfs nodev debugfs nodev securityfs> nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev anon_inodefs nodev devpts ext3 ext4 nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs nodev ecryptfs fuseblk nodev fuse nodev fusectl nodev pstore nodev mqueue nodev binfmt_misc

I found that vfat was not listed. Can someone tell me how this can be changed?

Add a line vfat to /etc/filesystems and make sure the file end with a line just containing a * (create the file if it doesn't exist).
