Hello, I was wondering if anybody already uses f2fs on Raspberry Pi. This should be easy enough using a Kernel >= 3.8 and an ordinary Linux machine with a cardreader and f2fs support: * Backup ext4 rootfs using tar * make f2fs * restore backup on f2fs Any experience?

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody already uses f2fs on Raspberry Pi.

This should be easy enough using a Kernel >= 3.8 and an ordinary Linux machine with a cardreader and f2fs support:

Backup ext4 rootfs using tar
make f2fs
restore backup on f2fs

Any experience?

Sven

I, for one, have no need of it. Exactly the same bash wrapper for rsync I use to back my other boxes up to a cycle of USB hard drives works just fine with an RPi. No changes were needed.
