This is an updated Fedora29 workstation and I think I've installed thetwo required exfat app's via dnf.

I would like to list the contents of a Western Digital MyBook external drive that uses "exfat." Apparently it feels abused by the user when unmounted.

[root@Box83 bobg]# mount -t exfat   /dev/sdc1  /mnt/test -o nonempty
FUSE exfat 1.3.0
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option

Perhaps I am not entering the commend correctly?

FUSE exfat 1.3.0

What is wrong?
Here are my observations from my notes:

2019-01-27

[root@Box10 bobg]# dnf install exfat-utils

[root@Box10 bobg]# dnf install fuse-exfat

[root@Box10 bobg]# exfat-fsck

found in release notes"

1.3.0 (2018-09-15)

* exfatfsck can now repair some errors.

Apparently this tries to repair files. It did claim to detect some errors.

as user:

[bobg@Box83 ~]$ exfatfsck /dev/sdc1
exfatfsck 1.3.0
Checking file system on /dev/sdc1.
ERROR: failed to open '/dev/sdc1' in read-write mode: Permission denied.
File system checking stopped. ERRORS FOUND: 1, FIXED: 0.

as root:

[root@Box83 ~]# exfatfsck /dev/sdc1
exfatfsck 1.3.0
Checking file system on /dev/sdc1.
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
File system version           1.0
Sector size                 512 bytes
Cluster size                  1 MB
Volume size                3726 GB
Used space                 2913 GB
Available space             813 GB

It stopped at this point and I waited a while, nothing seemed to happen, did CTRL-C. Tried a second time and had the same result. It appears to have found something it can't fix?

I am assuming "exfat" is a work in process and probably can not deal with this mount problem.

I will probably just re-format and erase the drive.
