Description Pun 2012-10-04 20:16:35 UTC
fuse-exfat-0.9.7 ebuild  did
 dosym mount.exfat-fuse /usr/sbin/mount.exfat 
which allowed mount to pick up exfat automatically 
fuse-exfat-0.9.8 links to /usr/bin/mount.exfat instead and mount complains about unknown filesystem type

Can confirm.

I see. I'm more or less following the new directory structure defined by Fedora and they have plans on letting 'sbin' die in favour of 'bin' -- merging the directories.

I'm not sure yet if they patch util-linux so that this works, or if they still have compability symlinks in place, or even possible that they haven't gone so far yet.

So yes, I will move them to their original location and futhermore, they also need udev rules file just like ntfs3g has so that it will work for udisks -> and with that -> nautilus, Thunar, and other filemanagers.

I'll do this once I'll get home -- to my devbox with commit access...

+*fuse-exfat-0.9.8-r1 (19 Oct 2012)
+
+  19 Oct 2012; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> +files/99-exfat.rules,
+  +fuse-exfat-0.9.8-r1.ebuild:
+  Use /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin for now because util-linux fails to search
+  /usr/bin for mount wrappers. Install udev rules too as per forums post. See
+  bug #437230 for details and link to the forums post.

I think that should make it work for every scenario... reopen if not, thank you for reporting
