4 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).
6 Supported operating systems:
9 * Mac OS X 10.5 or later
13 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.
18 To build this project under GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
21 * fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
25 Get the source code, change directory and compile:
27 ./configure --prefix=/usr
30 Then install driver and utilities:
34 You can remove them using this command:
41 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):
43 sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdXn /mnt/exfat
45 where /dev/sdXn is the partition special file, /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
50 If you have any questions, issues, suggestions, bug reports, etc. please create an [issue][3]. Pull requests are also welcome!
