Tried to sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/usb0/ anyway but unsurprisingly sda1 does not exist. The drive was formatted fat32 with gparted, then mounted on a windows box to collect a bunch of files and now I'm trying unsuccessfully to get debian to mount it, with the above dmesg output.

Anyone know what's going wrong?

edit: fdisk -l output:

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

include fdisk -l output as well. – WeloSefer – 2013-02-11T19:14:16.827

fdisk output included. – rutherford – 2013-02-11T19:23:59.553

Have you tried "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda /media/usb0/" ? (IE is it possible that you have created a filesystem on the raw device rather then a partition table ?) – davidgo – 2013-02-11T19:41:32.270

Did you try /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 ? – allquixotic – 2013-02-11T19:49:22.527

No, that's what my os is mounted on. @davidgo got 'mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock' response. – rutherford – 2013-02-12T11:59:03.867
