I have several external disk drives from the same vendor. According to
the vendor recent drives are formatted exfat while prior ones where
formatted ntfs. According to what I find on the web file system type
fuseblk should work for both exfat and nfts. I have a new 12TB drive and
when I plug it in mate-system-monitor reports it as type exfat not fuseblk.
What determines whether a file system type is reported as exfat, ntfs,
or fuseblk?
Whether it's reported as exfat or ntfs depends on what filesystem is on
the drive.
The drive works fine and is accessible from F34, I'm just curious why
mate-system-monitor does not report it as type fuseblk.
fuseblk isn't a filesystem type. That's what the mount command shows
for a filesystem that is accessed through a fuse driver. exfat has a
kernel driver, so it doesn't use fuse, but ntfs does.
/root/ntfs.img on /mnt type fuseblk
/root/exfat.img on /mnt type exfat
