Subject: [ANNOUNCE] exfatprogs-1.3.0 version released
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 14:23:38 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKYAXd8OsoXbJTybYwFTvUe+utUyi9Lw3SMdObgCA82S-b-mQA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi folks,

In this release, a new tool, defrag.exfat, has been added to perform
defragmentation on exFAT volumes, featuring the following command-line options:

  - defrag.exfat    /dev/sdX: Perform defragmentation with "fsck warning"
  - defrag.exfat -f /dev/sdX: Force defragmentation (skip fsck warning)
  - defrag.exfat -a /dev/sdX: Assess current fragmentation status

Additionally, the quick format time of mkfs has been significantly improved:
in the worst-case scenario of a 2TB partition with a 512B cluster size,
the time was reduced from 3 minutes to just 9 seconds.

Any feedback is welcome!:)

NEW FEATURES :
 * defrag.exfat: add a tool to defragment an exFAT
   filesystem or assess its fragmentation status.
   See a man page.

CHANGES :
 * mkfs.exfat: minimize zero-out initialization work
   in quick format mode to reduce I/O time.
 * fsck.exfat: set the entry after an unused entry as unused.

BUG FIXES :
 * mkfs.exfat: fix incorrect FAT byte length calculation.
 * mkfs.exfat: avoid setting physical sector size into sector_size field.
 * fsck.exfat: fix a memory leaks in an error path.
