Description of problem: fs2fs tools are available, but the f2fs driver is not available in the kernel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. user mkfs.fsf2 (f2fs-tools) to buld a fsf2 filesystem 2. try to mount it 3. Notice the lack of kernel support Actual results: Lacke of kernel support Expected results: mounted FS Additional info: bug 922966
We don't plan on enabling this in the generic kernel.
F2FS seems to have an outstanding performance in certain common workloads: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_314_ssdfs&num=1 I would also ask to enable the respective kernel module.
Perhaps it could go into kernel-modules-extra now that we have that?
Okay, you bunch of redhat morons really deserve negative PR as seen on http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg3MDQ Its just amazing how some distro and company can be hostile to their users and especially enthusiasts willing to try new technologies here and there. Your bug handling is fucked. And even Ubuntu more sane these days - they supply F2FS by default.
lnx.usr - Your tone and language are completely inappropriate.
(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #3) > Perhaps it could go into kernel-modules-extra now that we have that? If it is not possible include it in kernel-modules, then yes please.
I plan on opening a new ticket after feedback from the Devel mailing list. I don't believe requiring uses to install kernel-modules-extra is the way to go on this. If it's good enough for Ubuntu (which is a distribution aimed at new linux users) it is certainly good enough for Fedora.

Dave says it works pretty well: http://youtu.be/DxZzSifuV4Q?t=21m32s
Thanks to everyone that has contributed productive information so far. We'll take a look at this again in a couple of weeks.
I've enabled this in Fedora git. It will be in the next build of the f20-rawhide kernels.
