The recovery at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678140 only lets me format /data or all partitions as F2FS. I want to format only /cache and /data as F2FS, leaving /system as ext4. Is there a recovery or script that makes this possible?
TWRP 2.7.1.1 (the official one) will let you do this.
Works. Thanks.

My Idea is to change the Filesystem on my d802.
Via adb I pulled the whole /data/media partion so that I can Push it back later.
I am not really Sure how this will work with the System partition.
I believe that flashing a cloudy G3 rom will Format the System partition back to ext4 (i think it's in the install Script).
So Would it be possible that I remove that "formating System" line to keep f2fs. Any other thoughts on this?
I'm using twrp 2.8.5.0 and I'd like to format my partitions to F2FS.
How I do?
I format all partitions or only system??
In wipe options has a FS Options
Did I select the partitions then select it?
As per title, I'm using /data and /cache formatted with F2FS with M-Kernel (Nexus 7 2012) and CM-12. However, when I try to format /system as F2FS and then flash CM12, filesystem is back to ext4.
M-Kernel supports all-f2fs so, what I'm doing wrong?
The rom has to be converted to support f2fs.
There seems to be a lot of confusion or pr people aren't being clear enough. At the moment there's one build found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65193930&postcount=1302 that has F2FS as an option to change to. But I recall there being a problem with the /cache partition too small for F2FS to work, and if you look into F2FS's internal operation a bit, if /cache isn't F2FS then it's pointless.
So I'm asking, is there any TWRP build that supports formatting system/cache/data partitions as F2FS? Is there a way to fix whatever the problem is with /cache unable to be formatted to F2FS? The error I get when I try to format with F2FS is this:
Code:
mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p38 process ended with error: 255
Unable to WIpe Cache
Error changing file system.
Do we need ROM/kernel makers to specifically make their projects with F2FS support? What is the technical issue with getting /cache formatted as F2FS?

Old post, but F2FS requires a minimum of 100 MB to be used on a drive. Ours is 99 MB.
setting fileencrypt=ice under fstab mount flags for a F2FS formatted /data partition causes the phone to boot into fastboot mode. why is that? it works fine with EXT4 though. my rom's kernel got built in F2FS. ?
