CentOS 7.x exfat file system
Exfat file system is supported for read-write in most modern version of Windows ( Refer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT ). The advantage is that it is supported for read-write in modern Mac OS X and also in Linux via fuse-file systems. Hence it is a good file system for external media where files greater than 4GB might be required. To create exfat filesystem in Linux use:
- Install exfat using:
- yum -y install exfat-utils fuse-exfat
- Format exfat filesystem using:
- mkfs.exfat <Device-name>
- The partitions type should be 0x07 same as NTFS. Shows as HPFS/NTFS/exFAT in fdisk -l
- Give label to partition using:
- exfatlabel <Label>
- This is important. Otherwise drive will not automount because of multiple filesystem detected issue:
- mount: /dev/sdd1: more filesystems detected. This should not happen,
- use -t <type> to explicitly specify the filesystem type or
- use wipefs(8) to clean up the device.
- Note that 'wipefs' or 'wipefs -a' do not seem to solve this issue
