How to install Linux on f2fs?

Question

linux

Hello everybody!
Is it possible to put Ubuntu/Xubuntu on an f2fs formatted root partition?
Does the installer support this file system?

And what distributions other than Manjaro support setting root to f2fs?

Answer 1

the easiest way is:
1. install as usual
2. build the kernel by enabling f2fs support with the monolith.
3. copy the backup of all OS files
4. format the FS in f2fs, in fact, copy the files back.
5. register a new UUID of the root FS in fstab, install the bootloader

Answer 2

Yes it is possible.
Not from the installer, though - although it may understand the partition formatted in the console - it's worth checking, for example, in a virtual machine.
