Feature changed by: Denisart Benjamin (posophe) Feature #316872, revision 5 Title: Support exfat out of the box openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Flavio Castelli (flavio_castelli) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Latest version of openSUSE (13.1) cannot mount disks formatted using exFAT file system. There's a GPL kernel driver provided by Samsung which seems to be working fine: * https://github.com/dorimanx/exfat-nofuse * http://sfconservancy.org/news/2013/aug/16/exfat-samsung/ There are already packages for that inside of OBS: http://software.opensuse.org/package/exfat-nofuse It would be nice (and really user friendly) to have these packages shipped with the default kernel *or* to have them within the official openSUSE repositories. Use Case: A friend of mine gives me a usb key with some documents I need to copy. The usb key is formatted using exFAT. I plug the usb key into my openSUSE computer and I'm immediately able to view its contents. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Latest windows version are pushing usage of this file systems. openSUSE users must be able to access usb disks/drives without having to mess around with the kernel/zypper. + Discussion: + #1: Denisart Benjamin (posophe) (2014-01-22 14:02:50) + It would be better to talk directly with package maintainer of exfat- + nofuse package for pushing package in a devel project. And please + discuss it on opensuse-factory maillist to ensure having a quick + react. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316872
