Hey gang,

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am trying to mount disks formatted as exfat. In CentOS 7 this would require userland support with fuse-exfat and perhaps another rpm. I went looking for this and added the EPEL repo… no luck… I am running rocky linux 8 and my kernel is less than 5.4.

looks like I need:

fuse-exfat exfat-utils

Anyone know?

[rpmfusion.org](https://rpmfusion.org) has those exact packages for el8.
