F2FS support? #39

Open GrabbenD opened 2 years ago

GrabbenD commented 2 years ago

F2FS file system is designed for NAND-based flash memory equipped with FTL. This technology is used in all flash memory with a SCSI/SATA/PCIe/NVMe interface. F2FS aims to increase the lifespan and performance of such storage devices which is why it's growing in popularity. Proper conversion support for this filesystem would be really useful

I agree it could be useful. Did you try fstransform to convert from/to F2FS? The only filesystem-dependent parts of the conversion are the various options passed mkfs and fsck, which often need to be adapted on a per-filesystem basis

I am not xRiot. But I did check F2FS and it worked (albet with one mount error were I have to create the mount directory and then type CONTINUE (same thing happened when converting to ext4) on Ubuntu 21.10
