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:
* [git][4]
* [autoconf][5]
* [automake][6]
* [pkg-config][7]
* fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
* [gcc][8]
* [make][9]
On Mac OS X:
* autoconf
* automake
* pkg-config
* [OSXFUSE][10]
* [Xcode][11] (legacy versions include autotools but their versions are too old)
On OpenBSD:
* git
* autoconf (set AUTOCONF_VERSION environment variable)
* automake (set AUTOMAKE_VERSION environment variable)
Get the source code, change directory and compile:
git clone https://github.com/relan/exfat.git
cd exfat
autoreconf --install
./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.
Feedback
--------
If you have any questions, issues, suggestions, bug reports, etc. please create an [issue][3]. Pull requests are also welcome!
