As new exfat filesystem is merged into linux-5.7 kernel, exfatprogs iscreated as an official userspace utilities that contain all of the standardutilities for creating and fixing and debugging exfat filesystem in linuxsystem. The goal of exfatprogs is to provide high performance and qualityat the level of exfat utilities in windows. And this software is licensedunder the GNU General Public License Version 2.
Install prerequisite packages:
For Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool pkg-configFor Fedora, RHEL: sudo yum install autoconf automake libtoolBuild steps:
cd into the exfatprogs directory: ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install- mkfs.exfat: Build a exfat filesystem on a device or partition(e.g. /dev/hda1, dev/sda1).Usage example: 1. No option(default) : cluster size adjustment as per device size, quick format. mkfs.exfat /dev/sda1 2. To change cluster size(KB or MB or Byte) user want mkfs.exfat -c 1048576 /dev/sda1 mkfs.exfat -c 1024K /dev/sda1 mkfs.exfat -c 1M /dev/sda1 3. For full format(zero out) mkfs.exfat -f /dev/sda1 4. For set volume label, use -l option with string user want. mkfs.exfat -L "my usb" /dev/sda1 5. To change boundary alignment(KB or MB or Byte) user want mkfs.exfat -b 16777216 /dev/sda1 mkfs.exfat -b 16384K /dev/sda1 mkfs.exfat -b 16M /dev/sda1- fsck.exfat: Check the consistency of your exfat filesystem and optionally repair a corrupted device formatted by exfat.Usage example: 1. check the consistency. fsck.exfat /dev/sda1 2. repair a corrupted device and create files in /LOST+FOUND, which have clusters allocated but not belonged to any files when reparing the device. fsck.exfat -p -s /dev/sda1 3. repair a corrupted device in the same way above, but answering yes to all questions. fsck.exfat -y -s /dev/sda1- tune.exfat: Adjust tunable filesystem parameters on an exFAT filesystemUsage example: 1. print current volume label. tune.exfat -l /dev/sda1 2. set new volume label. tune.exfat -L "new label" /dev/sda1 3. print current volume serial. tune.exfat -i /dev/sda1 4. set new volume serial. tune.exfat -I 0x12345678 /dev/sda1- exfatlabel: Get or Set volume label or serialUsage example: 1. get current volume label. exfatlabel /dev/sda1 2. set new volume label. exfatlabel /dev/sda1 "new label" 3. get current volume serial. exfatlabel -i /dev/sda1 4. set new volume serial. exfatlabel -i /dev/sda1 0x12345678- dump.exfat: Show on-disk informationUsage example: dump.exfat /dev/sda1- exfat2img: Dump metadata of an exFAT filesystemUsage example: exfat2img -o sda1.dump /dev/sda1Some fsck implementations were tested and compared for Samsung 64GB PromicroSDXC UHS-I Class 10 which was filled up to 35GB with 9948 directoriesand 16506 files by fsstress.
The difference in the execution time for each testing is very small.
| Implementation | version | execution time (seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| exfatprogs fsck | 1.0.4 | 11.561 |
| Windows fsck | Windows 10 1809 | 11.449 |
| exfat-fuse fsck | 1.3.0 | 68.977 |
