You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.

What do we make of that? Some sort of NTFS?
Do these commands produce any clues or error messages?
# fdisk -l /dev/sdm
# tail /var/log/messages
# dmesg | tail
They suggested an exfat format ootb, which matches most sd cards.
Thanks David, Take care.
