Enable CONFIG_EXFAT_FS in the kernel
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Now that we have transitioned over the 5.7 release of linux-current, we have the option of turning on the new fancy exfat kernel driver from Samsung. This driver looks to be up to 7 times faster and appears to have almost as good support as Windows itself. To enable this, we need to flip on CONFIG_EXFAT_FS within our kernel config.

Needed for T9231

@JoshStrobl I saw that you just added a new config to the kernel. Any chance that you might be able to squeeze this in before the rebuilds? ?

I enabled the flag but won't have a 4th build of the kernel this week unless they push out a .2 so it'll wait until much more enablement needs to happen or a new release.

No rush. Thanks for adding it. Much appreciated :)

Happy to help and sorry I forgot it when I was originally sorting out 5.10 :P

No worries. I hadn’t realised that it was a kernel config and opened the task a bit too late, that’s all :)
