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:

  1. Install exfat using: 
    yum -y install exfat-utils fuse-exfat
  2. 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
