Package: exfat-utils
Version: 1.3.0-2

Hello,

I received a new external drive and unsure what filesystem to place on
it so I used the factory formatted exfat. After copying maybe some
rather old files around across disks my filesystem was unmounted. I
tried to remount:

/mnt/sdb5/home/discord/nt.exfat-fuse /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
FUSE exfat 1.3.0
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
fuse: bad mount point `/mnt/sdc1': Transponot connected

Then fsck:

sudo fsck.exfat /dev/sdc1
exfatfsck 1.3.0
Checking file system on /dev/sdc1.
File system version           1.0
Sector size                 512 bytes
Cluster size                  1 MB
Volume size                4657 GB
Used space                 1273 GB
Available space            3385 GB
ERROR: illegal UTF-16 sequence.
BUG: failed to convert name to UTF-8.

If I now cannot fsck, am I safe to use this filesystem anymore or do I
need to remove my data and use another filesystem?

Thanks,

Colin Williams
