exfat-nofuse
============
Linux non-fuse read/write kernel driver for the exFAT, FAT12, FAT16 and vfat (FAT32) file systems.<br />
Originally ported from Android kernel v3.0.
Kudos to ksv1986 for the mutex patch!<br />
Thanks to JackNorris for being awesome and providing the clear_inode() patch.<br />
<br />
Big thanks to lqs for completing the driver!<br />
Big thanks to benpicco for fixing 3.11.y compatibility!
Special thanks to github user AndreiLux for spreading the word about the leak!<br />
Installing as a stand-alone module:
====================================
make
sudo make install
To load the driver manually, run this as root:
modprobe exfat
You may also specify custom toolchains by using CROSS_COMPILE flag, in my case:
>CROSS_COMPILE=../dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/android-toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-
Installing as a part of the kernel:
======================================
Let's take [linux] as the path to your kernel source dir...
cd [linux]
cp -rvf exfat-nofuse [linux]/fs/exfat
edit [linux]/fs/Kconfig
```
menu "DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems"
source "fs/fat/Kconfig"
+source "fs/exfat/Kconfig"
source "fs/ntfs/Kconfig"
endmenu
```
edit [linux]/fs/Makefile
```
obj-$(CONFIG_FAT_FS) += fat/
+obj-$(CONFIG_EXFAT_FS) += exfat/
obj-$(CONFIG_BFS_FS) += bfs/
```
cd [linux]
make menuconfig
Go to:
> File systems > DOS/FAT/NT
> check 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
Have fun.
