exFAT is a new FS type to handle larger disks. (Windows format)

Answer likely here for you.

You'll likely just need to do the following commands

sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

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.

david
