From the post: "The latest file-system driver with notable mentions for Linux 6.9 is that for Microsoft's exFAT file-system.

There is only one set of patches making up the exFAT update for the Linux 6.9 merge window but it's a notable one at that. The new code is for improving the "dirsync" performance by syncing on a dentry-set rather than a per-directory entry. The dirsync mount option is used to perform all directory updates synchronously."

Why not call it a SKINNY drive if it's no longer FAT?

It's amazing that they have not tried to re-name the filesystem to be more "modern and inclusive". Just like you cant use "Master/Slave" or "Parent/Child" when talking about harddrives or programming anymore.
