| |
F2fs filesystems currently have two large restrictions around block size. The block size must equal the page size, and the block size must be 4096.
The following patch, along with the associated f2fs-tools patch set, relax the latter restriction, allowing you to use 16K block size f2fs on a 16K page size system. It does not allow mounting 4K block size f2fs on a 16k page system.
Doing that would require a lot more work, requiring a refactor of all block sized struct similar to the userspace patches, as well as handling the block reading/writing at sub page boundaries. As far as I know, buffer_heads are still the main way this is handled in other filesystems. Is there a different option there? I know there's a general desire to move away from buffer_heads, but I don't know of any replacements covering that use case. And it would feel a bit silly to not be able to read older filesystems from a 16k system...
