[ale] exfat file system (Sean Kilpatrick)

Thu Jun 14 12:34:42 EDT 2018

Hey Sean,

As far as formatting the card as Fat32, the issue with that approach is
that the file size limit on Fat32 is 4GB. So you may not be able to record
an video files over that amount.

Your camera probably has a file system type it prefers, such as extfat as
you've mentioned.
