Phoronix: F2FS File-System Adding Support For IDMAPPED Mounts

Linux 5.12 introduced support for IDMAPPED mounts with a variety of use-cases from containers to systemd-homed usage. The Flash-Friendly File-System (F2FS) is now the latest Linux file-system preparing to support the feature...

Cool... but how about compression that actually saves space? Or the ability to shrink partitions? Or some more helpful mounting errors?


I am happy with my F2FS install. Its fast and lean, has tons of useful features, and I'm sure it fills its niche on Android and servers just fine, but it could (IMO) really use some QoL fixes for linux desktop users. And I wish KDE Parted/Gparted exposed more of those options.

Still no shrink support in f2fs. No way to enable compression on existing f2fs filesystem.
