The current version
# mkfs.exfat
# Creates an exfat filesystem inside a partition.
# More information: <https://manned.org/mkfs.exfat>.
# Create an exfat filesystem inside partition 1 on device b (`sdb1`):
mkfs.exfat /dev/sdb1
# Create filesystem with a volume-name:
mkfs.exfat -n volume_name /dev/sdb1
# Create filesystem with a volume-id:
mkfs.exfat -i volume_id /dev/sdb1
is adapted for relan/exfat version.
If it was adapted for exfatprogs/exfatprogs version, it would differ:
# mkfs.exfat
# Creates an exfat filesystem inside a partition.
# More information: <https://man.archlinux.org/man/mkfs.exfat.8>. (or other manpage website?)
# Create an exfat filesystem inside partition 1 on device b (`sdb1`):
mkfs.exfat /dev/sdb1
# Create filesystem with a volume-label:
mkfs.exfat -L volume_label /dev/sdb1
# Create filesystem with a volume-guid: (i think this one performs different thing compared to the other version with -i volume_id flag)
mkfs.exfat -U volume_guid /dev/sdb1
