I am having problems reading usb sticks (actually sd cards in a usb
adaptor) on Vivid. The particular image that is problematic is the
raspberry pi noobs image. It is ok on a different machine running
14.04 but not on the one running Vivid.
The drive does not mount when I plug it in.
sudo fdisk -l
shows

gparted shows red exclamations against sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb3.
When I right click sdb6 and select Information it says
Warning
e2label: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb6
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
tune2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb6

Sdcards with other images I have are ok. Another card with the noobs
image is not.
Any suggestions?
