The exfat-utils package also contains a “mkfs.exfat” command. You can use this command to format partitions with the exFAT file system fromLinux, if you like. You can also just format them with exFAT from Windows, Mac, or other devices that support exFAT.

Most WD Drives come formatted in the NTFS (Windows) or HFS+ (Mac) format. For a hard drive to be able to be read and written to in both a PC and Mac computer, it must beformatted to exFAT or FAT32 file format.

I bought a 64 GB card and when I stick it in get the following error:

Unable to mount 64 GB Volume
Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /media/bmike1/3130-3431: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdc1" "/media/bmike1/3130-3431"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

What in the world is 'exfat'? Does anyone know of a way to fix this they could share with me?
