FreeBSD ports has fusefs-exfat, but nothing in pkgsrc meaning nothing for NetBSD. Linux has packages for ExFAT: fuse-exfat and exfat-utils (from Gentoo packages, in category sys-fs). I didn't think Haiku had ExFAT support, but look what I find: $ ls haiku/haiku/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/exfat CachedBlock.h DirectoryIterator.cpp Inode.h Utility.h exfat.h DataStream.cpp DirectoryIterator.h Jamfile Volume.cpp kernel_interface.cpp DataStream.h Inode.cpp Utility.cpp Volume.h This is not to say these implementations have all the capabilities of ExFAT on MS-Windows, and then there is the MS patent and licensing issues.
