  • Swapping Sd cards

    Other than that the phones/tablets recognize the cards by their "serial" in the filesystem. You can manipulate it with standard tools: https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs
  • Why is exfatprogs not in the focal repositories?
    1 project | /r/Ubuntu | 10 Jun 2021
    There is a new exFAT implementation, introduced with kernel 5.7. Ubuntu 20.04 runs on kernel 5.8, so it has the new implementation, but the programs to manipulate exFAT aren't in the repos. These programs are in newer versions of Ubuntu, so I don't see why they wouldn't be in 20.04. The exfat-utils package is for the old FUSE implementation, which is very slow.
