Hi,

this Monday I started testing Linux v5.7-rc1 with CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=m
together with LLVM/Clang v10.

Here I am on Debian/testing AMD64 and wondered how I can do some testing.

In the Debian repositories I found exfat-utils 1.3.0-1.

So good to know this is the wrong user-space tools :-).

+1 for renaming to exfat-progs.

How does someone test EXFAT filesystem with Linux v5.7-rc1?
I know that xfs-progs ships tests also for EXT4 filesystem.

Thanks in advance.
