#f2fs — Public Fediverse posts

@drwhax f2fs is extremely nice for flash based storage. its log structure prevents write amplification and allows for easy recovery after sudden power loss.

Its one of the first filesystems to solve the wandering tree problem that usd to be associated with log structured filesystems.

Definitely something worth considering, its been the default on android for close to a decade now I think.

I did my master thesis on log structurec filesystems

#f2fs #log #wanderingtree

@raster I don't see support for F2FS in FreeBSD (base) or the FreeBSD ports collection …

#FreeBSD #F2FS

@quixoticgeek @DrHyde I was wondering for years why they do not use #f2fs by default. I also try to use readonly root-fs if possible.

I installed Arch Linux onto a 128 GB USB stick. You may think "So, what?" but this has been incredibly useful.

I can use this system to do all sorts of data migration shenanigans and it will remember all my settings. Whenever I need access to the data on a different machine, I just plug it in.

Everyone should have one. 💾

#Linux #Arch #ArchLinux #USB #Flash #F2FS

Joskus kuvittelin, että #f2fs olisi ratkaisu, mutta se on ilmeisesti tietoturvaton ja siksi esimerkiksi #openSUSE'ssa estetty.

also, decided against using #f2fs for anything for mmm let's say another 5 years, I'll check in on it in 2030

#Bcachefs #Btrfs #EXT4 #F2FS & #XFS #FileSystem Performance On Linux 6.15.

When taking the geometric mean of all the file-systems tested, XFS was by far the fastest with this testing on #Linux 6.15 and using a Crucial T705 #NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD. With each file-system at its defaults, XFS was 20% faster than F2FS as the next fastest file-system. EXT4 and Btrfs meanwhile were tied for third. Bcachefs out-of-the-box on this PCIe 5 SSD was in a distant last place on Linux 6.15 Git.

It sucks #F2FS trigger fsck during boot time if you upgrade your kernel version.

This has happened to me multiple times during the last 5 years.

I guess the solution is going back to ext4.

An Initial Benchmark Of #Bcachefs vs. #Btrfs vs. #EXT4 vs. #F2FS vs. #XFS On #Linux 6.11

I’m currently in the process of moving all my #raspberrypi to #uefi and a #LUKS encrypted main partition with #f2fs.
Was a really interesting project and I learned a lot.
All of them are running #NixOS. It’s really nice that I can just build the whole thing on another system, restore the data and then just swap the SD cards.

One week later, it turns out that #fscking weekend was not a complete success. Welcome to #f2fs - to - #ext4 weekend 🎉 #arch

#partitionmanager now supports setting F2FS labels:

This means you'll need to use non-ancient f2fs-tools package (f2fslabel command was added at some time in 2021)

#F2FS With #Linux 6.2 Lands Atomic Replace, Per-Block Age-Based Extent Cache

Some highlights from a #F2FS merge for #Linux #kernel 6.2:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/041fae9c105ae342a4245cf1e0dc56a23fbb9d3c #LinuxKernel

```In this round, we've added two features: F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE and a per-block age-based extent cache.

F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE […] guarantees a per-file atomicity […] more efficient […]

The per-block age-based extent cache […] keeps the per-block age in a file, so that block allocator could split the hot and cold data blocks more accurately.```

Switched back from #f2fs to #ext4 yesterday on my #arch laptop because I started to get regular problems with #grub. looking better now, not sure if I need to be scared or not. S.M.A.R.T. test was OK

To be realistic. Everyone who said that #BTRFS isnt that slow, never used #f2fs or even #ext4.
Even on a NVMe BTRFS is absolutely noticable slower, to the point where I'm annoyed.

Теперь Calculate Linux будет отлично работать после установки на SD-карты и флэш-накопители. Проверьте производительность, выбрав #F2FS!

Als #pinephone Distrohopper bin ich zum ersten mal bei #postmarketos und muss sagen, bin schwer begeistert. Sehr stabil und manuelle install erlaubt ein sehr individuelles setup. habe #phosh #fde und #f2fs gewählt

Now running #DanctNIXMobile with #fde and #plasmamobile on #f2fs. Survived reboot after pacman -Syu. Only APN trouble, blazingly fast. I am really happy with this one. And finally a screenshot-tool
