Description Bastián Díaz 2016-09-02 07:37:58 UTC 
exFAT format is almost 10 years old and is widely used today to overcome the limitations of FAT32 and be compatible natively on all major platforms (Windows/macOS). It has good support in gnu/linux thanks to exfat-utils and fuse--exfat.

It would be good idea to add this format to the list in the format dialog volume.

Cheers.

The new format dialog in the unreleased version allows to deviate from the preset options by choosing "Other".
