flower Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hello, i've preordered an Helios64 and would like to install the main os on a f2fs formatted sd-card. your documentation says that this is not possible, and i would love to see this possibility. i guess most eMMC devices would also benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I doubt it can be done easily : U-Boot is not aware of F2FS, so it requires that at least the /boot folder to be located in EXT4 or FAT partition. What you can do is to manually shrink the ROOTFS partition and then add a new partition that you will format as F2FS. Then, you can transfer ROOTFS contain to new F2FS partition using tools such "rsync" or "tar|tar", and leave the /boot folder, adjust both /boot/armbianEnv.txt and /etc/fstab to point ROOTFS to the new F2FS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
