Greetings,
Is anyone aware of any work in progress to support F2FS in U-Boot. Search engines somehow don't give me anything relevant.
Thanks!
Best regards, Anton Gerasimov

None that I'm aware of . Is F2FS worth supporting , compared to eg. btrfs, which is used on eMMC by eg. jolla ?

I'm also not aware of any ongoing support work for F2FS.
You may want to look into some Samsung "open source" repositories, as this FS origins from there.

Good question - I did not heard from anybody about such need.
IMHO it takes around 10years to make FS mature and production ready.

Hi Lukasz, hi Marek,
thank you for your feedbacks. I'm looking for a solution to improve the resilience of our system against a sudden power loss under extensive write load. Some tests [1] show that F2FS might be more robust than ext4, so I wanted to give it a try. Not sure if it is really worth it, there are opposite opinions as well.
Best, Anton

Would btrfs work ?
btw please stop top-posting.

BTRFS hasn't been too stable for me even on a desktop, so I didn't consider that yet. But probably I will test it as well just to be objective.
It really depends on what features you use with btrfs. Some things can be really problematic, see the btrfs wiki.

Which sort of storage device are you using? I think results may differ (a lot) even when doing the same thing on different storage types. Also, there is often a huge differnce between consumer (or no-name) and industrial (or quality branded) products... Even within the same technology CompactFlash (who can remember that?), SDCard and eMMC all use flash based storage, but they behave very differently.

Wolfgang Denk
