Exfat-fuse error message despite being installed
exfat-fuse, exfat-utils and udisks2 are installed yet I get a exfat-fuse is required. error message
Thank you for the report. What distribution are you on? This is triggered when /sbin/mount.exfat is missing or you don't have execution rights unless you have exfat support in the kernel (visible in /proc/filesystems).
@alexbirkett This also just happened to me. It worked after a reboot though. Have you tried it since a reboot?

@samuk @alexbirkett Without more information about your respective systems, we will have to close this ticket. Kiwix-hotspot should not use Fuse to mount exfat, this is weird and we need first to understand why.

??? kiwix-hotspot cannot rely on some kernel module or configuration and thus is mostly dependent on exfat-fuse for regular users.
@rgaudin This is within the qemu right, so we control it?
No, this is for the host, to be able to mount the data partition.
@rgaudin Thx for correcting my mistake, so this kind of problem might still happen with future image-creator (assuming we stay with exfat).

@rgaudin I would propose to close this ticket as WONTFIX because we won't rely on exfat anymore with the future Kiwix Hotspot 3.0 and this is too much work to fix this ticket for the few next maintenance release of Kiwix-Hotspot 2.
