As (apparently, too casually) I mentioned at the beginning of this
thread :

From pkgsrc - filesystems/fuse-exfat/

The fuse-exfat works *really* well. I was completely surprised at
how it integrated into NetBSD. I just installed the pkg and was
astonished that the amd automounter just automagically used it to
mount. For some reason, I didn't expect newfs to also use it but
it apparently does, even though NetBSD doesn't appear to acknowledge
that it (again) appears to format according to exFAT.

This was especially nice as I have only found one other way to
communicate with my Samsung phone (that doesn't do OTG) and that
is to ftp into the phone through my wifi router. I tried to get a
bluetooth usb adaptor to work and gave up trying to figure out how
to get NetBSD to access it, even though it appeared to be supported
by the kernel. And I can't figure out how to get the usb MTP/PTP
stuff working on NetBSD. I do have to pull the battery to extract
the sdcard, which sucks, but fuse-exfat at least makes it possible
to access the card once removed. Also makes it so I can read the
128G video cameras on my bike and my wife's car.

Thanks again!
