Any chances to see these fixes in the LTS 12.04?  This is the kind of
basic features that need to be back ported to LTS.

Declining the Maverick specific nomination for now and leaving this open
against the actively developed Ubuntu kernel (which happens to be
Maverick at this time).  Will re-open the nomination should a fix be
narrowed down which we can confirm specifically resolves this issue in
Maverick.

In this case we would take this change were it to come from upstream
stable. This is not likely to make it into the Ubuntu Kernel unless it
is taken from there.

[Bug 315710] Re: Linux needs exFAT support

2010-03-21 Thread Andrew Nayenko
Hi all!

I have written exFAT driver with full write support. Source code is
available under the GNU GPL v3. Project page:
http://code.google.com/p/exfat/

Currently it's in beta state and I need testers. If you have some time
please download, compile and test this driver. Detailed instruction is
here: http://code.google.com/p/exfat/wiki/QuckStartGuide Before testing
do not forget to backup all you data stored on exFAT volume! It's also
very useful to have Windows near by and periodically run chkdsk on the
tested volume to ensure it's OK.

This driver is not based on the kernel module that was discussed here.
It uses FUSE and works in user-space like NTFS-3G. I decided to develop
a FUSE module instead of kernel module because 1) it's much simpler, 2)
kernel module will hardly ever be included into mainline due to unclear
patent status and maintaining out-of-tree kernel driver is a pain.

Known issues of version 0.9:
-- no binary packages for Ubuntu (would be nice if somebody created a PPA);
-- volumes are not mounted automatically, you have to do this manually;
-- no manpage;
-- timestamps are saved with only 2 sec resolution;
-- slow creating/renaming in directories containing a lot (thousands) of files;
-- directories are never shrinked;
-- percentage of used space is not updated in super block (chkdsk does not 
consider this as FS error);
-- systems with locale other than UTF-8 are not supported;
-- UTC timestamps are not supported;
-- ACLs are not supported.

Please ask your questions here or in the discussion group:
http://groups.google.ru/group/exfat Your feedback is welcome!

If there are going to be licensing problems from Microsoft with exFAT,
is it too late to convince the SD Association to use an open file-system
instead? Right now JFFS2 and NILFS come to mind but I'm sure there are
plenty of others for SSDs that could be used as the new standard as
well.

[Bug 315710] Re: Linux needs exFAT support

2009-09-19 Thread David Grossberg
Not only is it much too late, I would say there is no possibility
whatsoever that they would have chosen a system that wasn't going to be
plug-and-play on the vast majority of consumer PCs.

Anything that MS didn't write (except maybe UDF, but there's probably
some reason it wasn't feasible, perhaps a reason measured in dollars)
would require a separate driver disk to use (Imagine MS putting drivers
for an open system on Windows Update - yeah right.)  So it wouldn't
really be an option.

A related issue: Given that the file system of the media needs to be
supported by all the future cameras, media players, et cetera, now that
the decision has been made, any advice to 'Just reformat' would only
work if the card is going to be only PC-to-PC.

Of course even if SDXC had gone with something else this bug would still
exist (because exFAT does), it just would not be as serious an issue.

The 'solution' to any potential legal issue seems obvious to me - treat

Now that that's out of the way, the code has to be functional (such as write

I guess that means we wait for SDXC to be public and mainstream, then
wait for the antitrust suits to follow in the US since Microsoft has
historically not allowed fair and Linux-compatible licensing.  That is,
licensing that allows all Linux users as a whole to use the technology.

Okay, I've just finished laughing at myself.  Studying for my LPIC-1 and
it never hit me until now.  If you can find the source, it works like
this:

Untar exfat.tar.bz, change directory into ./exfat, make, sudo make
install, then sudo depmod, sudo modprobe exfat

Insert your exfat formatted flash drive and it is assigned a path (mine
was /dev/sdc), create a mount point (I created /media/exfat) and mount
it mount /dev/sdc1 /media/exfat

This module provides brilliant read support.  I can even install the
trial of Office 2007 Standard I have on here in Wine.  Brilliant!

[Bug 315710] Re: Linux needs exFAT support

2009-08-11 Thread Sean Seago
Being able to install a complex system of binaries off of a file system
Linux developers have been told nothing about is a really big step.
Read integrity is critical.  Already this is moving much faster than
NTFS support back in the day when we didn't have that--that took years.
And actually, I'd like to see that get better, but that's not this
thread.

If there isn't any legal pressure from anywhere over this code, now that we 
have good read support, it's mostly a matter of reversing the process to enable 
the ability to write.  The code is well structured, with adequate commenting 
and written entirely in C.  
I lack the coding expertise to dive in and turn this out in a hurry so it is a 
learning experience for me but I am doing the best I can to tackle this.  
Fortunately I have a large number of USB sticks formatted with exFAT, both 
blank and with other stuff on them...and worst case, I have access to Vista 
computers at work to fix whatever I break on the filesystem.

Does anyone know of anyone else working to make this happen?  I'd love a
mentor on this one.

This is going to be an increasingly important issue as there is exFAT
support with Windows Vista SP1 and the future Windows 7 (with ability to
backport it to Windows 2000 and XP).  With SD cards and other media
starting to support this format, we're going to see a lot more of exFAT
for better or for worse.  It would also be nice to have a bug free way
to have a common partition between Windows and Linux.  exFAT should, in
theory, be a lot easier to add support for then NTFS.

[Bug 315710] Re: Linux needs exFAT support

2009-02-13 Thread Noel J. Bergman
 I need to write files more than 4GB on 8GB SDHC card in Linux

So reformat it as ext2.  Works fine.  :-)

Or, of you need portability between MS-Windows and Linux, reformat as
NTFS.  That works, too.

It is ext2. But it would be better a simple fs, not one for HDD, and
NTFS has journaling and it wear the flash. And I mount it with noatime.
I want the same option for eg. exFAT

Hi,

there's a out-of-tree kernel module available at
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/e2e23eeb3a016268?pli=1

I haven't tested it though.

This is really true, exFAT is becoming more and more popular since it is
a very nice option for replacing FAT. Having support for this on linux
would be great.
