RockPi S f2fs install issue

[Péter Stósz]

Hello!

 

Stock image from armbian.com; Armbian_25.8.1_Rockpi-s_trixie_current_6.12.41_minimal.img

Here is the armbianmonitor's output: https://paste.armbian.com/ikodekuzel

 

The error might be caused by the absence of the f2fs package in the image.

 

root@rockpi-s:~# armbian-install 

 

Select filesystem type for eMMC /dev/mmcblk0
2  f2fs 
<OK>

Formating /dev/mmcblk0 to f2fs ... please wait.  

Error: Filesystem tools for f2fs not installed, exiting


root@rockpi-s:~# find / -type f -name f2fs*
root@rockpi-s:~#

apt install f2fs-tools

I don't think simply documenting what needs to be installed is the solution. (Since I've already managed to figure that out, assuming my previous message went through.)

I was trying to highlight that if a service is integrated into the installer (f2fs formatting), it would be elegant (or we could call it necessary) if that minimal package were part of the stock system, so the armbian-install doesn't break."
