For the record, I was able to get this working with the following steps:

 

* Download and install (using installpkg) Fuse http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/files/scons/2.2.0/scons-2.2.0.tar.gz/download

* Download, extract, and install http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/files/scons/2.2.0/scons-2.2.0.tar.gz/download

* Download and install (using installpkg) pkgtools http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/a/pkgtools-13.37-noarch-9.tgz

* Install gcc (from the unmenu package)

* Download and extract the fuse-exfat SlackBuild http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/fuse-exfat/

* Download and extract the fuse-exfat source:  https://exfat.googlecode.com/files/fuse-exfat-0.9.6.tar.gz

* Run fuse-exfat.SlackBuild

 

This left me with a package at /tmp/fuse-exfat-0.9.6-i486-1_SBo.tgz, which I could then install using installpkg (at startup).

Clearly, you are not a linux newbie...

 

Glad you got a working ExFAT driver compiled.

I managed to mount my exfat usb drive. Is there a explorer style app to be used to browse the contents after mounting? Krusader seems to not display the files in the mounted drive.

This thread is over 4 years old. Most people will be using the Unassigned Devices plugin to mount various disks, including exfat.

 

You must not be using V5 (which is the subforum this thread is in) or you wouldn't have Krusader.

 

Did you mount the disk with Unassigned Devices?

@ryanlio I can confirm as well that the Unassigned Devices plugin works with exFAT. I am able to copy files from & to the USB drive with Midnight Commander (MC) Although, will throw up a chown error after the file completes its transfer from the Unraid array to the USB drive.

  • Another thing to note, is that you may not be able to share the USB drive via SMB because of exFAT.
  • To use Midnight Commander open up a terminal window from the Unraid GUI (next to your log out button) and type in: mc
  • You can also SSH into your Unraid server and use MC from there too.
