ahogue Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Has anyone managed to mount an ExFAT-formatted USB on unRAID? I work with both Macs and PCs, and ExFAT has been the easiest way to transfer large (>4GB) files between them. I'd love if unRAID could join the party. Quote Link to comment
ahogue Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
ahogue Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Attached is the compiled version of fuse-exfat (zipped, since the forum won't allow me to attach raw .tgz files). With this, you should be able to just run installpkg to get going (ignore the other 7 steps fuse-exfat-0.9.6-i486-1_SBo.tgz.zip Quote Link to comment
Benni-chan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 thanks for the package could you also create the package for exfat-utils (currently the mkfs commands for exfat are missing) Quote Link to comment

phenomeus Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 is it possible that exfat 1.0.0 packages not working under unraid 6 beta10a? Quote Link to comment
sureguy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You'll need an x64 version of it. Quote Link to comment
phenomeus Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 how can i do this? i'm not that skilled without some advice. some help would be nice Quote Link to comment
gcleaves Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This package worked for me on unraid 6 beta 12: https://slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.1-x86_64/system/fuse-exfat/ Quote Link to comment
ryanlio Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

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? Quote Link to comment
Zer0Nin3r Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) @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. Edited June 26, 2019 by Zer0Nin3r Found incompatibility with MC + exFAT Quote Link to comment
