Have fun.


Installing as a DKMS module:
=================================

You can have even more fun with exfat-nofuse by installing it as a DKMS module has the main advantage of being auto-compiled (and thus, possibly surviving) between kernel upgrades.

First, get dkms. On Ubuntu this should be:

sudo apt install dkms

Then copy the root of this repository to /usr/share:

sudo cp -R . /usr/src/exfat-1.2.8 (or whatever version number declared on dkms.conf is)
sudo dkms add -m exfat -v 1.2.8

Build and load the module:

sudo dkms build -m exfat -v 1.2.8
sudo dkms install -m exfat -v 1.2.8

Now you have a proper dkms module that will work for a long time... hopefully.
