This project aims to provide a full-featured exFAT file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a FUSE module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils).
Supported operating systems:
Most GNU/Linux distributions already have fuse-exfat and exfat-utils in their repositories, so you can just install and use them. The next chapter describes how to compile them from source.
To build this project under GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
Get the source code, change directory and compile:
git clone https://github.com/relan/exfat.git cd exfat autoreconf --install ./configure --prefix=/usr make
Then install driver and utilities:
sudo make install
You can remove them using this command:
sudo make uninstall
Modern GNU/Linux distributions will mount exFAT volumes automatically—util-linux-ng 2.18 (was renamed to util-linux in 2.19) is required for this. Anyway, you can mount manually (you will need root privileges):
sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdXn /mnt/exfat
where /dev/sdXn is the partition special file, /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
If you have any questions, issues, suggestions, bug reports, etc. please create an issue. Pull requests are also welcome!
