If vendor support already exists, then why did you dodge the question asking for quantified data that I asked earlier? And can we have that data now?
From Rho, Eunhee, Kanchan Joshi, Seung-Uk Shin, Nitesh Jagadeesh Shetty, Jooyoung Hwang, Sangyeun Cho, Daniel DG Lee, and Jaeheon Jeong. "{FStream}: Managing Flash Streams in the File System." In 16th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST 18), pp. 257-264. 2018: "Experimental results show that FStream enhances the filebench performance by 5%∼35% and reduces WAF (Write Amplification Factor) by 7%∼46%. For a NoSQL database benchmark, performance is improved by up to 38% and WAF is reduced by up to 81%." Please note that these results are for ext4 instead of F2FS. The benefit for F2FS is probably smaller since F2FS is optimized for NAND flash media.
I have Cc-ed open source contributors from multiple UFS vendors on this email and I hope that they can share performance numbers for F2FS.
Thanks, Bart.
