Archived thread 2338919 from Mac OSX. Markdown source: Mac_OSX/thread_2338919_Cant_mount_exFat_drive_on_mac_Ubuntu_and_Windows_w.md
I have a ssd with 3 partitions one linux-swap, one ext 4, and one exFat. None of these can be mounted on a mac. I know mac isnt compatable with ext 4 and linux swap but the exFat should mount. Could cluster size be the problem i have over 80GiB on it so id rather not have to re copy it and reformat.

It is not a matter of your annoying us or our annoying you. It's simply a matter of practicality: why are you not posting this in an Apple forum? The Apple-heads can clearly offer better help for Apple OSes just as Linux-heads will offer better support for Linux OSes.
I know nothing (much) about Mac, but in Ubuntu we install exfat-utils and exfat-fuse to make exfat work. Can you do that on Mac? I know it has a terminal but no idea if:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse... would work in it. Whatever you use to install stuff in Mac, have a look for the two bits of software I've mentioned above.
Just a thought. :)
yea thats something i was wondering because i thought the exfat utility might have messed up the drive
