This project aims to provide a full-featured [exFAT][1] file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a [FUSE][2] module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils).
|
|
|
|
Supported operating systems:
|
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux
|
|
* Mac OS X 10.5 or later
|
|
* FreeBSD
|
|
* OpenBSD
|
|
|
|
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.

|
Compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
To build this project under GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
|
|
|
|
* git
|
|
* autoconf
|
|
* automake
|
|
* pkg-config
|
|
* fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
|
|
* gcc
|
|
* make
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Mounting
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
