I think exfat-fuse is what I am using, and fusefat appears to consider rw as experimental, from what I have read.

In which case, I think I'll pause on doing anything about exFAT in the immediate future. Currently I max out at 32GB on SD cards; anything larger is either USB or spinning rust. (Also, as I write this, my SO is getting ubuntu installed as a VM on her Windows machine.) Cheers, David.
