Re: [PLUG] What's the best way to share a partition between windows and linux in 2017?

I got one question. Since when does exfat work well in linux? It was my understanding that exfat was never going to happen due to ultra secret specifications and patents and various legal issues limiting reverse engineering. Has any of that changed? How is the linux exfat driver implemented?

Sent from my device.

> Just out of curiosity, why did you fire up the USB stick formatted if you already had the stick working as exFAT?

Because I wanted to format it as NTFS and see whether I could notice any 
difference in how NTFS performed on the same device, and because I'd 
never used the USB Stick Formatter tool and wanted to see how that 
worked, and because I wanted to see whether it would let me format to 
exFAT now that I'd added the necessary software to the system (it did 
not--still only NTFS, vfat or ext4).
