My setup uses an Ethernet network and a Netgear router. I doubt that the problem is linked to the TimeCapsule, because I don't have one, but I am experiencing what appears to be the same problem accessing exFAT drives.
Can someone please just tell me, why can't a share be set up with an ExFat partition in Mac OSX, so that it's accessible to Windows PC's? Thanks. Please spare me the 3rd party workarounds, and rhetoric that involves dumping Windows. Furthermore, I can have an ExFat partition shared out on a Windows 7 PC, and it can be accessed perfectly fine from any PC or Mac on the network, as it should be. To verify that this appears to be an issue related to ExFat and OSX, I also set up several USB thumb drives with various partition configurations, and the only way I could access them from Windows, is if the volume is formatted as Mac OSX journaled. I can share my Mac OSX boot volume, and have no problems accessing it from windows or another mac on the network, and have whatever permissions I set up in the sharing options. From another Mac on the network, I have whatever permission I've set up for the share, as intended. When I share out the ExFat partition, I can see it from Windows 7, but not access it. I've got 3 partitions on the fixed disk, a MAC OSX 10.8 boot partition, an ExFat Backup partition, and a 3rd Windows 7 Bootcamp partition.įrom within MacOSX, I can setup file sharing fine, and enable SMB so that I can access the shared content via Windows 7. So, I've got a Mac Mini 2011 with a 256 SSD, and 16GB Ram.
