I think exfat-fuse is what I am using, and fusefat appears to consider
rw as experimental, from what I have read.

Thanks. In which case, I think I'll pause on doing anything about
exFAT in the immediate future. Currently I max out at 32GB on SD
cards; anything larger is either USB or spinning rust. (Also, as
I write this, my SO is getting ubuntu installed as a VM on her
Windows machine.)

David.
