I need a little help here. I just can't get access to any micro sd card on my Jolla. I tried an exFAT formatted 64 GByte SDHX, but I read somewhere that exFAt is not supported. So I also tried a 2 GByte SD card - but none was accepted by the phone.

I can't find it in /run/user/100000/media/sdcard - there's no /media/sdcard. Also, formatting the card from the terminal doesn't work - I get the answer that no filesystem can be build as the card is mounted.

Probably this is a noob question, but what am I doing wrong? Would appreciate any hints. Thanks!

exFAT has (somewhat-)recently started to be supported through an external FUSE plugin.

See this answer

NOTE: this plugin isn't officially supported by Jolla (and can't legally be, as they haven't paid the necessary patent-licensing tax).

Since 1.0.4.20 the sd card is mounted in /media/sdcard/[long identifier string]. Using the mount command without any switches, you should be able to see what partitions are mounted where.

Ahh ok, so File Browser app needs to be changed then, right?

As a temp. fix you can create a link to the SD card in run/user/100000 with the following command :

ln -s /media /run/user/100000/media

Then file browser will be able to find the sd card again.

The microSD in my Jolla seems to work fine - I have saved a backup there and can see it with the File Browser. The strange thing is that the CSD Tool in testing the SD Card is showing me: "No SD Card detected. Fail". Does someone know why?

Try to run chkdsk command that might fix corrupted or unrecognized card. Follow the steps to run chkdsk command. – Connect your sd card to your computer using SD card reader. – Now go to start > right click computer > manage – Go to disc management option to see what type of condition SD card is in. – If it says it has RAW disck, then try with chkdsk first. – To go with chkdsk option, click on Start > Run > type CHKDSK X: /R then press the enter key. Note – Replace X with your drive letter
