F2FS Tools Gain FSCK Support

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Storage on 20 September 2014 at 12:45 PM EDT. 17 Comments

The f2fs-tools package that provides user-space utilities to the Linux F2FS file-system is out with a new version that provides FSCK capabilities among other changes.

The F2FS Tools v1.4.0 release introduces fsck.f2fs for fixing corrupted images/partitions for Samsung's Flash-Friendly File-System. There's also now dump.f2fs for retrieving a specific file. Additionally, the f2fs-tools 1.4 update also has bug-fixes for the stat and fibmap utilities. Last but not least is some code refactoring for the Android build. The release was mentioned today on the kernel mailing list by Samsung's Jaegeuk Kim.

F2FS continues performing well and new kernel updates continue adding new functionality to the flash-optimized Linux file-system.
