exFAT support on macOS seems to have some bugs because my external drives
with exFAT formatting will randomly get corrupted.
Disk Utility is unable to repair this at first, but the fix is this:
If Disk Utility is unable to repair, consider trying this:
1. In Disk Utility, ensure that the drive is not mounted, eject it if it is mounted.
1. Use `diskutil list` to find the right drive id.
1. You want the id under the IDENTIFIER column, it should look like `disk1s1`
2. Run `sudo fsck_exfat -d <id from above>`. eg `sudo fsck_exfat -d disk1s3`
