Also note, While Linux does have an ExFat option. the Linux ExFat is very different than the Windows ExFat.

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.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
