How to automount HPFS/NTFS (exFAT) 64GB microSD card on 10.04?

Question

When trying to mount my 64GB microSD card, it fails. Did a bit of research and found I needed exfat.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat

I can now mount the filesystem manually & everything works fine.
What am I now supposed to do to enable the automount?
Any insights or guidance as to what I can do would be much appreciated.

Solution 1

in /etc/fstab this seems to work ok

/dev/sdb1 /media/sd exfat-fuse defaults,nobootwait,user

but it breaks normal automounting of any non-exfat SD card or USB thumbdrive either there's a way to make it conditional on being an SD card I'm missing or we have to wait for an update in the normal automounting

Solution 2

Since Ubuntu 11.04, exfat drives automount normally if fuse-exfat has been installed.

What do you mean by “automount”? Do want to mount the volume during boot or as soon as it's plugged it?
