ExFAT support for the Scratch directory

Hello,
When trying to select an ExFAT partition for the Temporary and Scratch directories, NTlite says that it only accept an NTFS partition. I cannot see any valid reason for that, as the max file size of an ExFAT partition is huge. Also, as the ExFAT filesystem as a more lightweight "allocation table" than NTFS, this should speed up the job when dealing with a multitude of files like in NTlite. I personally have an ExFAT partition on my computer as a temporary workspace.

Regards.
 
Just a small correction, the Windows WIM mounting engine needs NTFS for the reasons stated, which NTLite uses directly; probably the same like DISM would, which is used for integrations only.
