Hello,
Can anyone please tell me whether guestfish can mount exFAT partitions?
I created a full disk image of a drive which contained a single exFAT partition.
guestfish or libguestfs don't support filesystems. It's whatever
is supported by the kernel.
exFAT is apparently not supported by the Linux kernel, but there is a
FUSE driver for it called exfat-fuse (as you found out).
So if you add exfat-fuse and maybe exfat-utils to the appliance,
it should work, ie:
# echo exfat-fuse > /usr/lib*/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat
# echo exfat-utils >> /usr/lib*/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat
(Note the package names might be different. Apparently in RPMfusion
it's called fuse-exfat.)
