Assuming your external drive that you want to format as exFAT is /dev/sdb (you can run the command “lsblk” to see your available drives)
Make sure you install exfat-fuse & exfat-utils. Run the following commands from the command prompt:
$> sudo parted /dev/sdb
>mklabel gpt
>mkpart primary fat32 100 127G (last two numbers are beginning and ending units)
>quit
$>mkfs.exfat -n <drivename> /dev/sdb1
