>> Puzzlement here: pmount is quick and effortless for flash sticks or anything else. A "^R pm" is usually enough to instantly recall the last removable mount invocation, avoiding the need to type all of "pmount /dev/sda1 /media/stick1" or whatever suits.

> The problem I’ve found with pmount is that the Debian version still doesn’t support exfat but the package doesn’t seem to get much maintenance. There doesn’t seem to be any active upstream either. I have seen a fork around the internet somewhere that claims to have implemented support for exfat via fuse.

Hello

The official but never launched as stable 0.9.99-alpha version in 2011 already had support for exft and btrfs.

Official stable version supports mounting exFAT filesystems since 0.9.23-8 (Thu, 02 Jan 2025), btrfs and f2fs since 0.9.23-9 (19 Mar 2025), so official pmount has active maintenance today and it is in the (next stable) Excalibur.

Best regards
