Re: F2FS support

Hey,

You will also need to add support for f2fs in libparted to get it works in d-i (a patch is pending on upstream and in the debian package). Moreover , the crc32 udeb module is needed (required by the f2fs module), it is enabled in the last linux version normally but just be sure that crc-modules udeb is installed. The last days I have tested, only description and meta were missing on some mountoptions (it crashed ramdomly when I was trying to use options). Otherwises, I can format a fresh install and it boots :)

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Romain

Hi Steve,

It's been quite some time since we last talked about the F2FS module for d-i. Since then Romain Perier updated the mount options for Linux 5.5 and (some other things). Today I looked into it, and I finally build the udeb!

@Romain JTLYK I rebased the repo and adjusted some stuff in your commits (debhelper version in control e.g.).

I haven't build an image or even tried an installation yet, that would be the next step. Since the university starts for me this week, I'm not sure how much time I have in the next couple of days/weeks, so any help is appreciated.

Since Bullseye is not that far away anymore, I would really like to see the F2FS support in the next d-i release. I guess there is no ETA yet?

Cheers,
Stephan
