Microsoft created the exFAT (Extended File Alocation Table) filesystem [1] to make up for the inadequacies of FAT32 (4GB file size limit) & NTFS (read only from OS/X), as it can hold large files, large numbers of files & use very large partitions.
- It supports media devices like portable media players, flat panel TVs etc. Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5, Mac OS X Lion etc., supports exFAT. Windows XP requires a system driver update (KB955704), which is free of cost from Microsoft website for the exFAT.
- Mac OS Extended. Choose one of the following Mac OS Extended file system formats for compatibility with Mac computers using macOS 10.12 or earlier. Mac OS Extended (Journaled): Uses the Mac format (Journaled HFS Plus) to protect the integrity of the hierarchical file system. Choose this option if you don't need an encrypted or case-sensitive.
Has to be compatible somewhat partially for mac OS 10.6.8 CUrrently partitioned into four groups different sizes by OS X 10.6.8 Disc Utility: 1st-Mac OS Extended (Journal). Windows' default NTFS is read-only on OS X, not read-and-write, and Windows computers can't even read Mac-formatted HFS+ drives. FAT32 works for both OSes, but has a 4GB size limit per file, so it.

The exFAT FS does not use journaling, though there is an optional TexFAT component available, it is not at this stage compatible with desktop GNU/Linux systems. More info' on TexFAT can be found here: [3]
Having no journal makes the data on such a filesystem more vulnerable to irreparable corruption due to it not being ejected properly, or if the system is hit by a power outage of some kind.
Use this knowledge to prevent loss of data on your exFAT drive as best you can. Also, choose wisely the use of such a drive. Using such a drive to carry movies, music, photos & such would be fine, providing you of course have them safely backed up elsewhere.
Free minecraft on internet. I've found using the exFAT FS to be the easiest way for me to be able to create a situation where my 2TB drive can have data on it that has been copied from an ext4 drive & remains easily accessible to OS/X 10.6.5 (& newer versions); Windows XP (& newer versions, read the exFAT wiki [4]); & Linux (after installed three files - see below).
Chrome google drive offline. To use exFAT, you need to be sure that the following files are installed on your Linux system (they are all in the Manjaro's repos):
With the above three files installed, when you plug in an exFAT formatted device, it should automount. Also, if you have exfat-utils installed, then GParted is capable of doing its thing in exFAT format too, which is nice to know.
Portable anonymous browser. So anyone can read it, execute from it, but only root can delete files & write to the partition. So the data is protected on all file systems, as it needs administrator access to delete files or write to the drive.
I've used the exFAT formatted drive now in OS/X 10.6.8, Win7 & Manjaro - the permissions & user:group are still the same when I look at them in Manjaro. So it has passed the test of experience, for me at least.
With the easy mounting on Linux, OS/X & Windows, plus the above ownership & permissions, there are certainly times when exFAT is a good choice.
It was invented for removable media, though certainly is very useful for HDD's, particularly the external variety that bounce around between different OS's. For me at least, I've found the exFAT FS to be a near perfect & relatively simple solution to the multi-OS media access problems.
Here is a link [5] with questions answered by Andrew Nayenko the developer of most of the files that GNU/Linux (at least) need to use to be able to work with exFAT.
