Update filesystem with f2fs #36

Closed osmose99 closed 3 years ago

osmose99 commented 5 years ago

Added f2fs-tools

MatMoul commented 5 years ago

Thanks for your PR, working well.. But I not sure that f2fs need to be installed by default for all people. I've looked some distros and I'm mitigated...

PS : For a next PR, you can take a look at https://github.com/MatMoul/archdi-pkg/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md, it's best to work on the develop branch.

You're right. I just tried it in a VM without installing f2fs-tools and a root partition partitioned with f2fs and it boot without problem. So probably not needed by default.

Sorry for the confusion, I tough it was necessary. After some reading, it's only needed to repartition, resize etc... Support for f2fs as been integrated in kernel 3.8 (wikipedia).

Hope it help you.. Thanks

F2FS is increasingly useful in these days of crazy fast SSDs. Even more so if used with transparent compression.

Perhaps it can still not be considered worthy of a default.. but it should be there at least I guess. Also, f2fs-progs isn't a thing.

I close this PR because f2fs is available in the filesystem selection.
