I have some problem recently, after upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 I can't read my exfat SD Card anymore.

I double checked, got exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed, and when I check devices I can see my SD Card as /dev/sdd. However when I try to mount it manually it says error:

$ sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sdd /media/exfat
FUSE exfat 1.2.3
ERROR: failed to read boot sector.

  • More specifically, /dev/sdd is the raw storage device while the file system is typically and likely on one of the partitions on that device, often the first partition which is located at /dev/sdd1. You can also use a GUI application to mount exfat file systems (e. g. Nautilus or Gnome Disks). – David Foerster Mar 05 '17 at 21:43

Your SD card is probably partitioned. Run sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd to see this. If it's partitioned, then replace the device with the partition (e.g, /dev/sdd1) in your mount command.
