The "official" file system for SDXC is exFAT, which Microsoft wrote without any hint of data security and riddled with software patents. At this rate there will likely never be an exFAT driver integrated into the kernel and MS is being extremely controlling regarding the specs and who can make and use exFAT drivers.

Basically MS got the SD consortium to pull a fast one on every non-Windows user, and now Linux is a second-rate OS in the world of mobile memory cards.
