# IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ENABLE EXFAT SUPPORT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MOUNT A LARGE FLASH DRIVE, MORE THAN		#
# WHAT FAT32 WILL SUPPORT.											#
#														#
# Instructions for enabling EXFat support in Ubuntu 10.04 and newer and on Debian Squeeze:			#
#														#
#   $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat	[FOR UBUNTU - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS FOR DEBIAN SQUEEZE]	#
#   $ sudo apt-get update											#
#   $ sudo apt-get install subversion scons libfuse-dev gcc							#
#   $ cd 													#
#   $ svn co http://exfat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ exfat-read-only						#
#   $ cd exfat-read-only											#
#   $ scons													#
#   $ sudo scons install											#
#   $ cd ..													#
#   $ rm -rf exfat-read-only	(OPTIONAL - ONLY IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THIS DIRECTORY)				#
#   $ sudo mkdir /media/whatever [creating mountpoint - example: sudo mkdir /media/exfat]			#
#   $ sudo mount -t exfat-fuse [device_path] [mountpoint]							#

# Once you have performed the steps outlined above... with the exception of the last line:
# Here's a simple Bash script (below) to help you to connect to your media source.
# You'll want to make this file executable, and it can be stored anywhere you like...
# Place it in /usr/bin if you want to call it up from any location; 
# I store it in ~/scripts which makes it easy to quickly edit if needed (see below...)
#    $ chmod 755 exfat.sh
#
# MAKE SURE TO CHANGE /dev/sdd TO THE APPROPRIATE DRIVE LISTING THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR MEDIA DEVICE.
#
# IN THE CODE BELOW, MAKE SURE TO CHANGE /dev/sdd TO THE APPROPRIATE DRIVE LISTING FOR YOUR DEVICE.
# IT MIGHT HELP YOU TO FIND YOUR DEVICE IF YOU USE THE FOLLOWING TWO COMMANDS:
#   $ ls /dev
#   $ sudo fdisk -l

# Mount the media device and cd to that device
sudo mount -t exfat-fuse /dev/sdd /media/exfat/
cd /media/exfat

# To unmount your media device, use the following command:
#   $ sudo umount /media/exfat

exit 0
