Are you asking us how you could find out?  'Cause you can't seriously
expect us to know what file system is on your device.

One way to find out would be to mount it, by any means necessary, and
then run "mount" and see what file system type it reports.

Another way would be to use "file -s" on whatever block device your
system assigns to it.  Plug the device in, wait a bit, run dmesg, and
see what device name(s) you've got.  Then run file -s on whatever
partition seems appropriate, if the device is partitioned, or else on
the full device (/dev/sdx) if it's not partitioned.

alternatively, when the device is plugged in, running

lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,SIZE

will probably provide enough information to identify the card in question
without having to look through the dmesg output.

When you buy it? — exFAT. No guarantees after that.

Cheers,
David.

I love that range of responses, each one about something totally
different, all due to Gene not remembering that he needs to let readers
know what he know, if he expects any help whatsoever with what he asks for.

According to Wikipedia, the SDXC format "adopts Microsoft's exFAT file system as
a mandatory feature." I'm uncertain what's to know beyond that in the
context of this thread.

Of course, the OP probably could've discovered this detail by himself.
Then again, he's 85 or something and maybe wants to use us like Santa's
little helpers. I'm no spring chicken myself, but I'm afraid the mood of
the season overtook me.
