Bug#931642: cdrom: debian 9 installer does not read 64GB exFAT usb-stick
Package: cdrom
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installing debian-9 on Toshiba Satellite C870-1HP
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I had to provide non-free firmware iwlwifi... on a seperate USB-stick
* What was the outcome of this action?
It did'nt take the file from a 64GB exFAT USB-stick. I tried differnt sticks
from different vendors.
Then I tried a 64GB FAT32 stick and it worked. With a 16GB FAT32 stick just
like that.
When it was installed, it accepted all of the 64GB exFAT sticks.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
At least an error message, that it does'nt understand the media with filesystem
exFAT, like Ubuntu did. It gave me the decisive hint.
Or you update the procedure for acceptance of that filesystem.
