I've got a Centos6 machine with fuse-exfat and exfat-utils installed:
Code: Select all
rpm -qa | grep exfat
fuse-exfat-debuginfo-1.0.1-1.el7.nux.x86_64
fuse-exfat-1.2.7-1.el6.x86_64
exfat-utils-debuginfo-1.0.1-1.el7.nux.x86_64
exfat-utils-1.2.7-1.el6.x86_64
I formatted a external disk on an Apple PC using exfat with no problems copied a file for testing and then connected the external disk to the Centos 6 machine.
fdisk shows that the device partition name is /dev/sdb1
Code: Select all
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

If I
Code: Select all
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data
If I umount and then try to mount the disk back again using:
Code: Select all
mount -t exfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data
I get :
Code: Select all
mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
However I don't get this problem with a Centos7 machine. Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a solution?
Any suggestions please?
Thank you
