    From his gparted screenshot you can clearly see it is fat32, not exfat.

    For fat32 this should read mount -t vfat

    @Ninos : Did you do already what anticapitalista had recommended? I guess that’s the key for you, since it will recreate the fstab file automatically, and then finally it should work.

    Do you think it would be possible to solve the problem using gparted???

    No. Gparted doesn’t care for permissions at all.
