Package: exfatprogs Version: 1.2.9-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
When using Debian/trixie mkfs.exfat with no special options, it can create an exFAT FS that is not readable by Windows 11. In my case, it was creating an exFAT FS with sectore size 4096. Windows 11 would not recognize it as usable. When I then formatted it using Windows 11, I noticed it used a sector size of 512. By specifying "mkfs.extfat -s 512 /dev/sdz" I was then able to create an exFAT FS readable by Windows 11. This issue has already been addressed upstream and is part of 1.3.0 (which is in forky). The upstream fix is here: https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs/commit/d4f77ae41ce178c04b8e3326178554182ca94bd5 Applying this patch to 1.2.9-1 also fixes the issue. This may be something that should be fixed in trixie, since it can be a major issue for some and (like me) cost several hours to hunt down the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.16.3+deb13-rt-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages exfatprogs depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 exfatprogs recommends no packages. exfatprogs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
