exFat Filesystem

Fri Mar 20, 2009 3:55 pm
Is the KDE Filemanager able to handle exFat formatted media?

Can Linux PCs handle (read and/or write) the new WinXP SP2/3 and Vista filesystem exFat which was lately introduced especially for use on flashmedia andUSB-sticks

I don't think that it is really KDE that handles this, but the kernel and/or userspace filesystem drivers. If the operating system supports it, KDE should as well.

Yeah, it'll be a good idea if you find a driver for windows to handle that filetsystem.

In the meantime, KDE for windows supports the FAT32 and NTFS only.

I just hope that it works so well that you can find more partitions than the C: drive.
