The memory stick is in the reader (I tried it without and got error messages for /dev/sdb through /dev/sdt). The original question was "what is the filesystem type?"
The stick is formatted by the camera, but nothing in the literature tells what type of format.

I have two different memory sticks that I use. I also have problems when inserting and found that if you plug/unplug the memory stick at least three times if will finally recognize the partitions and let you mount it. The drive will either be /dev/sda1 -or- /dev/sdb1. You need to check using dmesg or by looking in your messages file. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998
