Bug ID: 420723
Summary: partitionmanager does not recognize exfat kernel
support
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 4.1.0
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: darinsmil...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On Kubuntu 20.04, partitionmanager does not allow formatting partitions as
exfat unless exfat-utils is installed, thus failing to recognize that as of
kernel 5.4 and above, exfat is intrinsically supported by the kernel. In
addition, exfat-utils recommends exfat-fuse as a dependency. Should
partitionmanager be able to format as exfat without the exfat-* packages?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In kubuntu 20.04, sudo apt remove exfat-*
2. Open partitionmanager
3. Select a partition to format and note that exfat is not an option.
OBSERVED RESULT
no exfat on the drop down
EXPECTED RESULT
exfat on the dropdown
