[gentoo-user] Why isn't this SDcard mounting?

I can't make any sense of it. It's doing this with 2 different SDcards, I think - this is the brand new replacement for one which I believe(d) to be knackered. Instead of mounting the SDcard, it's mounting the loopback device. A card, as /dev/sdb, was previously zeroed over and repartitioned a
