About
-----
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.
Feedback
--------
If you have any questions, issues, suggestions, bug reports, etc. please create an [issue][3]. Pull requests are also welcome!
