Create and format exFAT partition from Linux

Yes, there is a project implementing exfat and the related utilities at http://code.google.com/p/exfat/.To format a partition, use mkexfatfs / mkfs.exfat like with most filesystems, e.g.:mkfs.exfat /dev/sdX1As for creating the partition in the first place, this is the same as for any other filesystem. Create a partition in your favourite partition manager. If you have a MBR partition type, set its type to NTFS (that is code 7h).Note, that some distributions only package the fuse module, so you may have to build it yourself.
