exFAT support on Fairphone 3 still not enabled

• /e/ version: 0.9-p-2020072965352-stable-FP3
• Device model: Fairphone 3
• When it started to occur: After first install
• Reproducible with the last /e/ version: Yes
• Reproducible with LineageOS: no idea

Summary

exFAT SD card not mountable, exFAT not supported. The official OS of the Fariphone states exFAT Supports, so the Lineaoge OS /e/OS should therefore have exFAT support enabled

Pleas fix this.

• The device is unusable (Read the SD card)
• The bug is the source of a data loss or a big waste of time (Yes, I had to format it to FAT32 and cannot use > 2GB files!)
• The bug concerns a third party app
• The bug concerns security
• The bug concerns privacy

The problem

Steps to reproduce Put in an /e/OS Fairphone 3 phone your exFAT SD card.

What is the current behavior?

OS asks to format SD card

What is the expected correct behavior?

Mount SD card with exFAT
