As can seen from the error message, it is a wildcard error, could mean a number of things. One common reason is, you are trying to mount the whole block device, but there are partitions below it.
Do a quick check.
# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 64 GiB, 68719476736 bytes, 134217728 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x000419c0 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 * 2048 132120575 132118528 63G 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 132122622 134215679 2093058 1022M 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 132122624 134215679 2093056 1022M 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Here it shows that there are three partitions, and mounting /dev/sdb1 worked fine.
