Yesterday, I got this hard drive from a collaborator with huge amount of sequencing data on it. Under fedora 23, I pluged in the hardrive, open the browser, click on the hard drive name and and got this error message:
Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/BLABLIBLABLA: Command-line `mount
-t “exfat” -o “uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1001,gid=1001,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077”
“/dev/sdb1” “/media/BLABLIBLABLA DATA”‘ exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type ‘exfat’
damm. Okay, after a quick browsing it appears that you just need to install this package:
sudo dnf -y install exfat
but it was already installed. After some more browsing, you also need that one:
sudo dnf -y install fuse-exfat
And that’s it.
Unfortunately this does not work for me. The terminal keeps saying ‘No match for argument: exfat.
use fuse-exfat that works for me.
Same for me.
it’s probably fuse-exfat if you have a higher version of fedora
You need to enable the RPMFusion Free repo for fuse-exfat and exfat-utils
https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/
if you type ‘sudo dnf search exfat’, you’ll see the 2 needed packages. I’m running Fedora 31 and needed exfat-utils and fuse-exfat
Here is a manual:

The solution was so simple. Worked like magic. Cheers!
The correct packages are: exfat-utils fuse-exfat
You’ll also need the rpmfusion-free repository.
the author is on fedora 23. for newer fedora try this link. in fedora 31 they changed how they do exfat https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/need-exfat-format-support-in-fedora-workstation-31/6254
