Hi guys and gals.
First: Let's skip the "no you can't" or "exfat is super dangerous" -replies for now (been using exfat for years), I'd appreciate if we kept the discussion on subject
Goal: My goal is to have a neat little dongle-less setup focused on emulation w/ triple boot: HOS, Android and Linux from one SD-card which is now setup on a 512GB card.
Problem: Since I'm planning to emulate GC/Wii and many games are 4GB+ which is the limit of fat32, (as soon as I format HOS to exfat it can no longer boot into Android or Linux).
Question: Is there anyway I can have my HOS partition formatted to exfat and still keep the Switchroot boot intact?
If not, how come?
Thank you!

TLDR: Possible solution for exFat support for those interested:
For anyone interested in pursuing this further, I'll quote my post further down:

Merging or implementing his changes into the official repo and rebuilding switch-root might be your best bet.found out that the limitation of exfat support lies in the implementation of switch-uboot. Apparently this u-boot fork by shinyquagsire23 has exFat support
