Interestingly enough, Ubuntu 14.01 was unable to recognize my all-in-one SD card reader (Nextech is the brand) despite working in Windows land. Dmesg output was stating errors and assuming that this is just a generic USB device, I wondered if there was something at play, such as SCSI. I was correct and here are the two changes that are needed to make it work.

sudo apt-get install udisks sg3-utils

Then add the following to /etc/modules.conf

options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=8

Reinsert the all-in-one card reader and then the appropriate disk. You should be rewarded with the mounting of your volume!
