USB Flash Drive found, but not mounted

sh flag

My Flash USB stopped working recently, though nothing was done to it during this period. Looks like it's detected, but then can't be mounted properly.

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

The weirdest thing for me is that Manufacturer, SN and some other service info is detected, but then it doesn't work. Is there a chance it's a programmatic error or it's likely that my drive is gone?

How was the drive formatted? Does it work on a Windows (or MacOS) computer? You may want to try the `chkdsk` command in Windows if it is formatted to work with Windows.

@user68186 exFAT. Tested on 2 different Windows laptops. On one of them it's fine, on another it's similar to Ubuntu, but that one is old.

It is better to fix Windows fine systems in Windows. The USB drive may be dying/dead.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
