A new release of exfatprogs is now available as the user-space programs on Linux for the exFAT file-system to complement the in-tree kernel driver for the Microsoft exFAT support.
New to the exfatprogs 1.3 release is introducing defrag.exfat as a tool for defragmenting an exFAT file-system or assessing its fragmentation status. Thus now defragging exFAT under Linux rather than no defrag support at all or having to do so under Microsoft Windows.
The exfatprogs 1.3 release also now minimizes zero-out initialization in the mkfs.exfat quick format mode for reducing I/O time. Plus there are a few bug fixes to the exFAT file-system checking (fsck.exfat) and mkfs.exfat.
The exFAT programs 1.3 release can be downloaded from [1]GitHub .
