BTW, while you can find Free Software exFAT drivers for Linux, exFAT has
several patents that Microsoft seems to want to use to make money, so
all those Free Software drivers are at the mercy of
a cease&desist order.

So I strongly recommend you use other filesystems instead whenever
possible.  E.g. the 32GB limitation of FAT32 only applies to Window's
ability to create a filesystem: you can create much larger FAT32
filesystems under Linux and even Windows will happily use them.
