When I try to create a partition with parted and a filesystem type of 'exFAT', I encounter the following error:

parted: invalid token: exFAT

What fs-type should I use when creating a partition destined for an exFAT filesystem?

Thanks!

NTFS

I discovered the answer in the man page for the mkfs.exfat utility, which states:

Note that if this is an MBR partition then the file system type should be set to 0x07 (NTFS/exFAT) otherwise other operating systems may refuse to mount the file system.

In parted, this is accomplished with the 'NTFS' fs-type.

0x07 when using fdisk.

You can list all supported partitions type with the command: l
