ExFat is a proprietary Microsoft file system.
I still do not get the point here why the question of the OP is ignored if there is a way in linux to access it and I repeat there is a free open source GPL v3 implementation of the fuse-expat project available as a rpm for openSUSE and SLES on the Open Build Service, the links are contained in my previous email.
According to wikipedia, ExFAT is patent protected, which might mean it is something we can't ship even in the build service, much like media codecs
I'm not sure what the status is, but it's probably something legal should be looking at before the first lawsuit comes

That's a different story and you can contact the person who built it about your concerns and that it should be removed to a place where it is no problem (like packman). The OP can still build it from the google code project which I also cited if he lives in the 90% of the world (as i do) where such patents are invalid. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
