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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 on GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [pkg-config][7]
|
||
|
|
* fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
|
||
|
|
* [gcc][8]
|
||
|
|
* [make][9]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On Mac OS X:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* pkg-config
|
||
|
|
* [OSXFUSE][10]
|
||
|
|
* [Xcode][11] (legacy versions include autotools but their versions are too old)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On OpenBSD:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the source code, change directory and compile:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then install driver and utilities (from root):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can remove them using this command (from root):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make uninstall
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mounting
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modern GNU/Linux distributions (with [util-linux][12] 2.18 or later) will mount exFAT volumes automatically. Anyway, you can mount manually (from root):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mount.exfat-fuse /dev/spec /mnt/exfat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where /dev/spec is the [device file][13], /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
