Maybe someone with developer skills could port exfat to N900? As far as we have USB host-mode, it could be fine to have it understand exfat formatted flash-drives.

I think at best you have to use the FUSE version, as I highly doubt the Linux kernel devs would touch such patent encumbered filesystem and taint the Linux kernel.

The purportedly "leaked" ExFAT source is here.

While currently of highly dubious origin, it seems to be pulled in from one of the Samsung Note 10.1 kernel update source drops, as shown here.

have a look for a thread about updating fuse. there was something in need of an update before fuse could be updated. new version would allow exfat support.

if this gets ported, in terms of speed, is it more beneficial to use sdxc cards in its exfat format or format as ext4?

My Eee has a 64gb SDXC which I left as exFAT for portability so I can take it out and stick in it a Windows PC. ext4 or F2FS (iirc needs backporting, so ext4 more likely) will probably give better performance.

Well, I'm not so skilled developer to port fuse. My compilation effort stopped when I found no libfuse-dev packet in maemo repos That's why I wrote "someone with developer skills"...

Since when has Samsung the rights to override Microsoft patent?

I guess people here again is blindfooled and thinks "samsung is your friend"

even if I dislike patent Samsung has no right to ignore Microsoft patent. Instead manufactors should not use exfat et all until Microsoft decide to wipe the patents.
