exFAT and fat32 support? #8

Open rahvin2192 opened 1 month ago

rahvin2192 commented 1 month ago

It seems as if the external devices that we connect are formatted in ex-fat or fat32, it doesn't require encryption and is able to mount. I tried this on macOS 13.6.4 and macOS 14.4.1 and on both OS versions the external device was able to mount and be read. thank you for any help you can provide!

@rahvin2192 I have not tested this in a while - can you do me a favour and provide me with an output of diskutil list external physical | grep "/dev/disk" | awk '{print $1}'

@txhaflaire exFAT is showing as Windows_NTFS as output from the command provided. It looks like this is a bug as the GUI properly shows exFAT and obviously NTFS is a separate format.

Hmm right maybe something changed in a recent OS update as initially came as "Microsoft Basic Data".

I'll look into this
