Details

Description: the exfat driver from this package (unlike the one from the kernel) can't read 64+ GB cards formatted by Canon cameras (G7X Mark II, M6 Mark II). Mounting cards leads to filesystem corruption and data loss.

Example dmesg output:

The new exFAT implementation that replaced the one in staging was merged in 5.7[0], considering all kernels in the official repo is newer than that maybe it's time to remove exfat-utils and tell people to switch to the upstream driver.

I'm with you and prefer exfatprogs i.e. mkfs.exfat with the built-in implementation. But? The program gnome-disk-utility (currently 3.38.x) seems to require exfat-utils (fuse) and fails to format a memory card or stick with a rather cryptic message, when exfat-utils is not installed. Actually neither package listed as dependency and I cannot find information about that the upstream repository. Probably there are more similar cases?

List some optional dependencies.

@hoschi what if you change the command in [1] from mkexfatfs to mkfs.exfat? Both use the same arguments but mkfs.exfat looks to be supported by both packages.

KDE Partition Manager too complains that it cannot modify exfat partitions if exfat-utils is not installed (I have exfatprogrs correctly installed).
Comment by Peter Weber (hoschi) - Monday, 22 March 2021, 18:53 GMT
@loqs: I've not tested it but hope the necessary modifications are small. For example the '-n' needs to become a '-L'. I suggest we contact upstream about that, the maintainers cannot lift the connection between GNOMEs and KDEs disk utilities and exfat-utils.
Comment by Eugene Shalygin (eshalygin) - Monday, 22 March 2021, 19:27 GMT
The problem is in the FUSE, so exfat-utils-nofuse from AUR solves that. BTW, Gentoo somehow installs this package without the FUSE module, and I can't find why does the Gentoo build with default options and no patches results in FUSE-less package.
Comment by loqs (loqs) - Monday, 22 March 2021, 20:31 GMT
@hoschi please try applying the attached diff. Adds mkexfatfs to exfatprogs as a symlink to mkfs.exfat.
The help text references the original command name but for testing it should be enough.
Edit:
Or try PKGBUILD.udisks2.diff that modifies udisks2 which is used by gnome and KDE.

Someone reported the issue upstream:

Comment by loqs (loqs) - Thursday, 10 June 2021, 12:35 GMT
Please test udisks2 with the attached diff applied which adds [1].
This should be the only required patch for exfatprogs compatibility allowing exfat-utils to be dropped.

udisks2 2.9.4-1 uses mkfs.exfat see also  FS#72629 
Comment by Toolybird (Toolybird) - Monday, 08 May 2023, 07:16 GMT
This pkg continues to receive maintenance and updates by upstream. It would be interesting to know if the corruption can still be reproduced with the latest Arch repo version -> exfat-utils 1.4.0-1.
