Microsoft Wants exFAT in Linux Kernel, Opens File System Specs
#1
Quote:Microsoft announced today that it supports the inclusion of its exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) file system for USB flash drives and SD cards in the Linux kernel through the Open Invention Network.
 
"Today we’re pleased to announce that Microsoft is supporting the addition of Microsoft’s exFAT technology to the Linux kernel," said John Gossman, Microsoft Distinguished Engineer, and Linux Foundation Board Member.
 
The proprietary exFAT tech was introduced more than a decade ago in 2006 as the successor to FAT32 in the FAT family of file systems and it is now used by the vast majority of flash memory storage devices.
 
Although a free and FUSE-based exFAT implementation is available for Linux users who want to mount exFAT-formatted SD cards and flash drives on their computers, this driver still strives to provide a full-featured implementation.
