$ apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse 

returns as output

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package exfat-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'exfat-utils' has no installation candidate 

Tried to install this package but it seems that is missing, is the exfat support made structural inside the kernel already so isn't necessary refer to other utilities to handle this fs ?

do the command for mounting a drive be the same old

mount -t exfat /dev/sda1 /mountpoint/ 

?

Thanks

Since Debian 11, exFAT is supported by the kernel. exfat-utils has been replaced by exfatprogs, you should install the latter instead. exfat-fuse is still available should you need it.

To mount an exFAT file system with the kernel driver, use

mount -t exfat /path/to/device /path/to/mountpoint 

as usual; to mount it using the FUSE driver, use

mount.exfat-fuse /path/to/device /path/to/mountpoint
