[SOLVED] - Exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat' in Ubuntu 14.04

If you are trying to mount an exFat file system & getting the following error:

Exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'.

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:

You get this error because the exfat filesystem is not installed in Ubuntu by default. exFAT is a proprietary and patented by Microsoft.

Ubuntu 14.04 or higher

Since Ubuntu 13.10, this package is in the main repository. Just install exfat-fuse and exfat-utils:

 sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils  

Ubuntu 12.04

For ubuntu 13.04 and lower, you'll need a ppa to install the exfat support. Installation procedure:

 sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils  

If you see the error gpg: "tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted" not a key ID: skipping during the apt-add-repository step, then you'll need to manually install the signing key and run the apt-get update and apt-get install steps after that:

 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4DF9B28CA252A784
