I was given a USB hard drive formatted in exFAT to mount on a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. I've installed the exfat-utils and fuse-exfat RPM's, but when I try to mount the exFAT partition, I get an error message about the device or resource being busy:
$ sudo mount.exfat /dev/sdd2 /media/usbdisk
FUSE exfat 1.0.1
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
When I run fdisk -l
, this is what I get:
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd

How do I mount the /dev/sdd2 partition? I need to be able to write files to it.
Thanks!
Update: I tried running mkfs.exfat /dev/sdd2
and fsck.exfat /dev/sdd2
, since the filesystem is empty. Both commands say that everything is fine, but mounting still doesn't work. Previously, I had plugged this drive into a Windows PC and was able to mount the partition.
