The Finnish company Tuxera, the company behind the free NTFS-3G driver for Linux, has announced a licensed implementation of the exFAT file system from Microsoft. The goal of Tuxera claims to be interoperability. The company was founded after Szabolcs Szakacsits had developed NTFS-3G and to create a high demand from companies for the implementation of NTFS-3G began. The developer could not meet this alone and founded in 2008, together with other Tuxera. Meanwhile, other developers such as NTFS, Anton Altaparmakov have long been the leading developer of Linux-NTFS implementation, on board. NTFS-3G was the first free implementation that fully supports writing to NTFS file systems offered. She now works very reliably and is part of most Linux distributions, BSD distributions, Mac OS X, QNX and haiku. The implementation runs, in contrast to the old NTFS driver, not in the kernel, but as a process, and that will probably remain so, as there are no indications that an implementation in the kernel would be faster or better. pro-linux
