I have just started using git annex, and I cloned the annex onto an external usb formatted as exFAT. I am using Mac OS X.
The clone went fine, but when running `git annex init` the following happened
```
Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
Disabling ssh connection caching.
Detected a crippled filesystem.
Disabling core.symlinks.
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
(recording state in git...)
Enabling direct mode.
```
then git annex appears to get stuck according to `top`:
```
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #WQ #PORT MEM PURG CMPRS PGRP PPID STATE BOOSTS
86934 git-annex 0.0 01:07.09 4 0 13 4152K 0B 5684K 86933 86933 stuck *0[1]
```
I am running git-annex 6.20170101, so direct mode should no longer be used. Is that correct? If so what should I do to figure out what's going on?
The most relevant related thread I could find was this one [Bare repo on USB ...](http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Bare_repo_on_USB_drive_not_providing_files/) which suggests exFAT may not work well on Linux. However, I mainly use this USB on my Macbook to supplement the SSD. Another possibly relevant thread is this one [Android table ... only exFAT...](http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Using_git_annex_with_Android_tablet_which_only_has_exFAT_and_no_symlinks/).
I appreciate any assitance.
