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! -- Linux needs exFAT support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
