Thanks for the answer! F2FS also works nice with normal SSDs, the advantage compared to ext4 is just very small afaik.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at it. I will try to build it and test it with my old machine when I have time to set it up, probably sadly not earlier than February.
That being said I have two questions:

 * The first alpha of the Bullseye installer just got released, is there any ETA for the second one / beta? Would love to see F2FS in there, an ETA would be nice so I could set myself a time frame.
 * As the d-i is new to me, I don't really get what exactly to put in the mountoptions/f2fs file. I read the kernel documentation for F2FS and found all the mount options, however I compared it with btrfs & xfs and it looks like it's not simply a copy of all mount options provided by the kernel. I couldn't find any documentation how the d-i handles this file, so could you (or someone else) help me out here?
