Access to a xd memory card

[Robert Orzanna]

Here is what mtdinfo gives me.

[/home/robert]$ mtdinfo
Count of MTD devices:           1
Present MTD devices:            mtd0
Sysfs interface supported:      yes

[/home/robert]$ sudo mount /dev/mtd0 /mnt
mount: /dev/mtd0 is not a block device

[/home/robert]$ sudo mount /dev/mtd0ro /mnt
mount: /dev/mtd0ro is not a block device

Considering the block device problem, may this be solved by specifing
a file system for the card?

If so, what file system does a xD card use?

Sorry for almost spamming you with my issue but I really would like to
get behind it why it is working under Ubuntu but not under Archlinux.
