For those making use of Microsoft's exFAT file-system under Linux, tagged today was exfatprogs 1.3.2 as the newest update to these open-source user-space programs for going along with the Linux kernel's exFAT file-system driver.
Most of the work in exfatprogs 1.3.2 involves improvements to the mkfs.extfat utility for making exFAT file-systems.
The mkfs.exfat utility will now discard blocks prior to write-outs by default. There is also a now read-after-write verification step for the volume boot record with mkfs.exfat.
For fsck.exfat to provide a file-system check of exFAT file-systems, there is now a built-in option for providing a TUI progress bar when checking the file-system.
Plus there are various other bug fixes to be found with this updated exfatprogs. Those interested in all the details on this exfatprogs update can find it on [1]GitHub .
