[ f2fs ] cannot mount
« on: September 15, 2016, 03:37:22 PM »
Hello,

I tried to mount a formatted f2fs drive in tc 7.2 without success.
Eventhoug it is recognised with blkid, and in fstab, but  mount command gives an error message as an undefined device.
Any idea?
 Thank you

from the tinycore kernel config:
Code: [Select]
# CONFIG_F2FS_FS is not set

Indeed, it was still marked unstable in kernel 4.2.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

hello again and thank you very much for your replies.

I thought it has been left as a module somewhere for those whom needed it. I didn't know that it is still unreliable.
Do you think that it is worth creating a kernel with this option turned ON ? any suggestion?
( Actually I need to access the drive  mainly read-only ). 

regards.

I didn't check, but you might be able to compile the f2fs driver as a module and make your own personal extension to load it when required without needing to use a recompiled kernel.

oh thanks, this is good news.
If this is not much asking, any suggestion from where to get the right source to create the module for tc?

thanks again, and best regards.
