Is it in openSUSE 15.1 as installed?
No, it is implemented in userland with a package from packman. With the current policy change I see possible that the package be moved to oss in the future, before we get it in the Leap kernel.
You don't need pacman, it's available in OBS, since forever (approx).
Surely not forever, or the idea it comes from there would not be in my mind...
According to that article, it's just now in the kernel. As I said, it's not a priority for me, as I don't have any need for it.
Ok, but I think that exfat is better than ntfs, on cards and sticks at least. It is optimized for that use.
Is it actually optimised in any way? I'm using vfat for the EFI partition and ext4 for root.
I'm certain. Not the filesystem, but the hardware. The USB sticks are often optimized for FAT, assuming the first partition, in the manner they partition and format it when sold - meaning that the FAT falls on exactly the sectors they designed for it. Those "flash sectors" are smaller than the rest of the chip, and /perhaps/ strengthened. On the other hand, exFAT is optimized for sticks and cards. I have not read the specs, so I do not know how. My guess, there should not be a fixed FAT area. I must read on that.
Unless you need the stick/card to use on some old machine that doesn't understand that filesystem, like an ancient TV set.
Ancient TV sets have CRT tubes, not SD card slots. :-)
Not that ancient :-D - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
