A new release of exfatprogs is now available as the user-space programs on Linux for the exFAT file-system to complement the in-tree kernel driver for the Microsoft exFAT support.

New to the exfatprogs 1.3 release is introducing defrag.exfat as a tool for defragmenting an exFAT file-system or assessing its fragmentation status. Thus now defragging exFAT under Linux rather than no defrag support at all or having to do so under Microsoft Windows.

    I’m hoping this will help with the annoying “something’s wrong with your drive” every time I mount an exFat drive in windows. This is in spite of properly unmounting it on the Linux side.
