Interesting. I remember that gparted had exfat greyed out and at that
time vfat32 looked like the best option and I used that, However I later
simply used mkfs -t vfat.
The stick I had was a new 64 GB and originally showed 64 in my Thunar
file manager display, now after doming what I did Thunar dis[lays it as
62G. I have since now dnf installed exfat-utils as you suggest so it
should be usable when next I do that.
You can use fat32 for a larger partition than 32GB by using a larger
cluster size. That's ok if you're storing large files, but smaller
files waste a lot of space. The filesystem metadata takes some space,
so that's why the filesystem available space will be less than the full
size.
At one point recently I was trying to use a flash drive between Windows,
Mac, and Fedora and I was having a lot of trouble formatting it with
exfat so everything could read it. I did eventually succeed, but I
can't remember what the solution was.
