I'd encourage those advocating for enabling this to put it through its paces, and see where it's at, rather than keying off phoronix & ubuntu. In particular, getting [x]fstests up & running on f2fs shouldn't be too hard, and it would be good to see if it uncovers any problems. There was a patch to enable it on the list: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-06/msg00030.html but it's not merged... I'll ask Dave about that. Fedora succeeds when committed people share their time & effort .. can you give f2fs a go w/ [x]fstests and report back? Scratch that itch. ;) I can give you a hand running xfstests if you need it. -Eric -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
