hi guys & gals
bought an external usb3 disk, Western Digital 3 Tera-bytes.
my Ubuntu try's to automatically mount on /media/david
(david is my user name) which is the standard mount point
for all of the other external disks i have tried successfully
(Toshiba, Seagate).
The error code is "unknown filesystem type "exfat".
I found it by looking at the "My Book" dir under the /media dir using the "Files" app.
i'll certainly go the wd web site unless you guys have a remedy.
