I did more research into this and tested - the current version of pmount cannot handle exFAT keys for read-only or read-write. It looks like there have been patches for exFAT support via fuse (similar to how pmount supports NTFS) but they haven't been merged. There might be a way to use mount without root permissions for exFAT keys, but that's probably not a road we want to go down at the moment considering 99% of USB keys in the wild are FAT formatted.
In 2019 [eta oh damn nope it's 2020] I'm seeing a lot of exFAT devices and it seems like pmount is not maintained? Would it be possible to switch to or add support for FUSE? exfact-fuse and exfact-utils seems to be the usual way at the moment.
Very, very probably, yes.
I'll try to work on it as soon as possible, but if you have the chance to give it a go, a PR is more than welcome :)
That should fix it: https://github.com/CIRCL/Circlean/commit/6f5d09d374f249caac2c83830932ad32dcf416a7
I'll publish a new version of the image this week.
And if you want to give it a try, here is the new image https://www.circl.lu/assets/CIRCLean/2020-01-16_CIRCLean.img.gz - 6d72aab7eb5e04b73409bf36aac7a52093d4865456e894b2d8fb07c41cac1157
So fast! Thanks very much, I'll try it out soon.
I'm not sure pmount can do that, need to check that out.
