exfat-nofuse
Linux non-fuse read/write kernel driver for the exFAT file system.
Originally ported from android kernel v3.0.
Kudos to ksv1986 for the mutex patch!
Thanks to JackNorris for being awesome and providing the clear_inode() patch.
Big thanks to lqs for completing the driver!
Big thanks to benpicco for fixing 3.11.y compatibility!
Special thanks to github user AndreiLux for spreading the word about the leak!
Installation as stand alone module:
make -f Makefile.module KDIR="path to kernel source" CROSS_COMPILE="path to android chain tools (as linaro)/bin/SOMETHING- (see your folder for clues)"
Example how it's works for me!
make -f Makefile.module CROSS_COMPILE=../dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/android-toolchain/bin/arm-eabi- KDIR=../dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/
exfat.ko module file will be created in exfat source folder. and will work with kernel source you have used.
make -f Makefile.module install
To load the driver manually, run this as root:
modprobe exfat
To add to kernel you need to do this:
cd your kernel source dir
mkdir fs/exfat
copy all files (exept .git) from exfat-nofuse to your kernel source fs/exfat/
see
e8fc728a68
edit fs/Kconfig edit fs/Makefile
cd your kernel source make menuconfig
Go to:
File systems > DOS/FAT/NT > check the exfat as MODULE (M) (437) Default codepage for exFAT (utf8) Default iocharset for exFAT
ESC to main menu Save an Alternate Configuration File ESC ESC
build your kernel.
and you will have new module!
exfat.ko
have fun.
