Is there any way to get exFAT working? I realize its a
proprietary filesystem, but I have a 1TB external drive I use
for transferring CAD files. I understand how I can pull files
from another machine via the network; I'm doing that now, but
pluggint the drive right into the machine would be alot
easier.

Rebuild the fedora src rpm?

If you want I can openSUSE-fi it?

Looks like I'll have to install the unstable version. As

everything off it should be OK.

mount it read only...(only writes can corrupt)

I tried running
sudo mount -t exfat-fuse /dev/sdb1 /media/exfat
and it said that mount point didn't exist. then I just tried mounting it
at /media and all I got was a 17MB partition with $RECYCLE.BIN
What is the proper command to mound the drive under /media just like a
normal USB stick formatted to fat32?

first, you shouldn't mount anything to /media that is for the system's

use to automount stuff..
so, mount yours to /mnt and the point MUST exist prior to running the
mount command, so something like this should work
su -
mkdir /mnt/exfat
mount -ro -t [exfat-fuse] /dev/[sdb1] /mnt/exfat
ok, so three things:
1. i added ro (readonly) to address your concern that maybe something
will corrupt the system before you can copy the data off
2. i put exfat-fuse in brackets because i have no idea what that is, and
i look in my manual for mount and don't see it (nor exfat) listed as a
file system--SO if it won't mount as exfat-fuse i might wanna try
mounting it as one of these
-t exfat
-t vfat
-t auto
-t msdos
i wonder, did the info/spot Malcolm pointed you to say that you would
need a different mount command executable?
3. i put sdb1 in brackets because perhaps that drive has more than one
partition (you say you could only see a "17MB partition with
$RECYCLE.BIN" as if there should be more)..
maybe the more is at sdb2 ??

I'm afraid that's not correct. As per the UNIX Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard version 2.3, /media is officially the parent directory for
mountpoints for removable storage devices such as CD, DVD, BluRay, USB
sticks, memory cards, et al.
> so, mount yours to /mnt and the point MUST exist prior to running the

/mnt is either a mountpoint or a parent directory to other mountpoints
intended for non-removable storage media which are not part of the
normal filesystem hierarchy, such as for instance a partition native to
another GNU/Linux distribution, or a Microsoft Windows partition, or
even a network share which isn't mounted anywhere in the local hierarchy
- as e.g. would be the case with an NFS-mounted /usr or /home - but
rather as in the case of an NFS-mounted volume for making backups.

exfat is a proprietary Microsoft extension to vfat to allow for a FAT-
like filesystem - as I understand it, even at the 64-bit level - on
larger partitions. Given that it's proprietary, its specifications may
not (yet) be known to the Linux kernel developers, so I don't know
whether this filesystem is supported yet in GNU/Linux via FUSE.

correcting...so:
su -
mkdir /media/exfat
mount -ro -t [exfat-fuse] /dev/[sdb1] /media/exfat
