Can't mount vfat partition

Support
1

When I try to mount the fat32 boot partition on an SD card, I am told that the vfat filesystem is unknown. I have installed the dosfstools package, but that doesn’t help.

Some people claim that adding options such as ‘suid’ or ‘uid=…’ help, but this is nonsensical, and doesn’t work for me.

How exactly are you try to mount?

Also please return your partitioning information:

lsblk -la
