Appendix I: Glossary

ExFat / FAT64

ExFAT (Extended File Allocation Table, also sometimes referred to as FAT64) is a proprietary file system suited especially for
USB flash drives. Developed by Microsoft, it is supported in Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Windows Vista with Service Pack 1,
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
ExFAT can be used where the NTFS file system is not a feasible solution, due to data structure overhead, or where the file size
or directory restrictions of previous versions of the FAT file sys-tem are unacceptable.
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (both x86 and x64) users can add support for exFAT by installing an update from
Microsoft.[1] An experimental, open source Linux kernel module that supports the reading of exFAT files is currently under
development.[6] A FUSE-based full-featured implementation is currently in beta status.[7] A proprietary, read/write solution,
licensed and derived from the Microsoft exFAT implementation, is available for Android, Linux and other operating systems
from Tuxera.[8] Mac OS X Snow Leopard added exFAT support in version 10.6.5 on November 10, 2010.[12] OS X 10.6.5 and
later can read, write, and create exFAT partitions.
