https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT , a filesystem designed for larger 
SD cards because plain FAT requires a ridiculous or unusable block size 
when applied to filesystems larger than 32G.  It's sort of strange that 
your distro didn't include the necessary mount helper, but it should be 
available in the package repository.  Do the equivalent of "yum search 
exfat" or "apt-cache search exfat" to find it.
