It would be nice if GParted Live CD allow me to create exFAT (aka FAT64) partitions.

Re: exFAT (aka FAT64)

Are there any GNU/Linux tools available to work with FAT64 file systems?

Linux kernel exFAT read only beta patch: http://userweb.kernel.org/~hirofumi/exfat/exfat.tar.gz


Standalone module driver that you can build outside the kernel as long as you have a
recent version of the kernel sources installed (currently 2.6.27) can be found at:
