Re: exfat driver as a gsoc project: mentors wanted

It is possible to mount, read, and write exfat filesystems on FreeBSD
using the fusefs-exfat-1.4.0_1 port/package running on the Fuse interface.
My light testing of it shows that it all works as expected except that
it does not seem to understand uids and gids (everything shows as
root:wheel even though many of the files and directories on my test
disk had other owners and groups). Attempts to change owner or group
failed with "Operation not permitted".

That said, having a Summer of Code project that added native exfat
support to the existing msdos filesystem implenetation could be useful
down the road.
