Bug Description

Mounted 64GB USB thumbdrive

Thumbdrive was formatted with standard W7 formatter

insertion in Linux Mint 17 caused following error:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Error mounting /dev/sdf1 at /media/arend/10DA-4073:
Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077"
"/dev/sdf1"
"/media/arend/10DA-4073"
' exited with non-zero exit status 32:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This sounds like Linux doesn't know what an "exFAT" filesystem is .
