It is possible to mount, read, and write exfat filesystems on FreeBSD using the fusefs-exfat-1.4.0_1 port/package running on the Fuse interface. My light testing of it shows that it all works as expected except that it does not seem to understand uids and gids (everything shows as root:wheel even though many of the files and directories on my test disk had other owners and groups). Attempts to change owner or group failed with "Operation not permitted". That said, having a Summer of Code project that added native exfat support to the existing msdos filesystem implenetation could be useful down the road. Kirk McKusick
