3.0.1 x86-64 - mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

[Rava]

3.0.1, XFCe edition, x86-64

I have a new SDXC 64 GB card (my first XC card even!). The card reader seems to work fine.
This is what I get in /var/log/messages:

Code: Select all

porteus kernel: [113417.392059] usb 2-2.1: new full-speed USB device number 22 using uhci_hcd

porteus kernel: [113613.877122]  sdb: sdb1

And I get an error message telling me exfat is unknown to mount when trying to mount it via XFCe/Thunar.

Trying to mount as root in console/terminal I get this info:

Code: Select all

mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

What is needed to get mount to support exfat?

[fanthom]

compile these two (quite old so maybe get latest version from google code page):
http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=exfat&sv=14.1

and mind:

Code: Select all

Keep in mind, that it might be illegal to use this software in
countries respecting US-Patents.

I was able to get it working, but since the move to 3.1, including the rc's I have to search on which boot media I saved the exfat module.

When I find it I check if it is also working with 3.1, post the results and change the thread title to [solved]
