I've recently bought an SDXC card from SanDisk. The specs on the box are:

SDSQUNC-064G-GZFMA
UltrauSD
80MB/s
C10,
UHS

When I insert it in my Windows 10 laptop the card is detected as a partition with exFAT filesystem. It is recognized by my M2 Note (Flyme 5.1.11). But Android is based on Linux so I suppose it will support ext4 SD cards. So, on my laptop, I start the Mini Tool Partition Wizard program, delete the exFat partition and create an ext4 partition with the same size. It is recognized on a second laptop running Linux. Then I insert the SD card in my M2 Note and it is not recognized. The mobile says the card must be formatted. I do it and I get an vFat partition (according to DiskInfo third-party app). That's not what I want.

I'm not an expert on SD cards. Can somebody tell me what have I to do in order to get my SD card with ext4 working on my M2 Note? Thanks.
