I had bought a shiny brand new external hdd to act like a source but after its file format conversion to exfat Volumio doesn’t recognise it. I have to exfat it as my osx mbair is my everything 
Can anybody tell me the terminal command I must enter to make it work?
Thanks
Hi,
you can try :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse
But I can’t test it…
Thanks for the tip.

Or you can try to mount “by hand”
create a mount point
sudo mkdir /mnt/NAS/music (or what you want
sudo mount -t extfat /dev/yourdevice /mnt/NAS/musicand check it
mountit should return all mount
