Ahh.. For some reason I had convinced myself that base exfat implementati=
ons
used at least the 'keep a backup FAT' part of TexFAT, because on a teraby=
te
external USB drive, losing the FAT would be painful.  But if Windows 10 d=
oesn't
do that either, then it's no great sin for Linux to not do it (and may ca=
use
problems if Linux says =22currently using FAT 2=22, and the disk is next =
used on a
Windows 10 box that only looks at FAT 1....)
