no F2FS support on /data for Oxygen OS 5 (Oreo)?

Previously on Oxygen OS 4.5.15 running your /data partition on F2FS had no problems.
However currently if you try running your /data partition with F2FS either you get an infinite boot loop or if you're decrypted you get an error message that says "Encryption unsuccessful" I'm assuming that's just the kernel being unable to mount the /data partition and just assuming it was a bad encryption or corrupted partition message.
Default partition layout for /data seems to be EXT4 and that works correctly just posting a new topic here to see if anyone else knows the status of F2FS was it removed form OxygenOS 5 kernel?

By default, OxygenOS (OOS) comes with File Based Encryption (FBE) enabled. FBE, at present, is not compatible with F2FS and hence OnePlus has the /data partition defaulting to EXT4.
If you wish to use F2FS on /data, you'd need to be decrypted, a. and b. you'd need a kernel that supports booting with F2FS as well. Also, I'm not sure but I think the latest TWRPs for OP5 also don't have the necessary stuff to convert the filesystem to F2FS, but I haven't checked that myself, so can't say that with certainty.

error 1 when try to f2fs data .. any help

cache f2fs works on most tpwr but im not able to convert data to f2fs
always error 1
any working f2fs tpwr link?
iwant both data and cache to f2fs
i think is a problem with mkfs.f2fs.. simply if one is able to fix is really appreciate

Here your are, this is what I'm using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/twrp-multirom-vanilla-mod-t3571543

yes, this twrp works but first you must do a backup, copy the backup to your pc or otg drive, convert the data partition to f2fs and after that tick use -rm instead format in options and restore your data backup.

Need help to convert data to f2fs file system.

Hi,
I'm trying convert Data and Cache partition from ext4 to f2fs.
I backup data and restore by TWRP after format data as f2fs.
But when I reboot it get bootloop after show homescreen.
I try other ROM/Kernel support f2fs and format data again but still got bootloop.
Does anyone know this problem?
Thanks

DATA partition is on F2FS by default?

I've unlocked my new MI9T to install xiaomi.eu rom.
First of all, after unlock, i've installed the official TWRP and i've formatted (not wiped) the DATA partition.
I've noticed that TWRP logged that it was formatting the DATA partition with mkfs.f2fs ...... really strange...
So, i've rebooted to TWRP and changed the DATA partition type to EXT4 and formatted it... after a reboot i've tried to format it again and it was formatted again in F2FS (like F2FS was the default selection).
So i've tried to switch to OrangeFox recovery (i suspected a bug in TWRP)... but the same behaviour...seems that F2FS is the default partition type for my DATA partition.
I've installed the xiaomi.eu (the kernel in this rom is the official one, and i dont think that it supports F2FS) and the rom boot ok, without problems.
I've tried also to force ext4 on DATA, but with this partition type the rom never boot (it remains on the android bootanimation).
So right now, i see a f2fs partition type on my data partition, with original kernel.
I've tried also to change the cache partition to f2fs (by default this partition is formatted in ext4) but in this way, the rom boots, but i can't see the cache partition, seems that effectively the kernel can't mount the cache partition.
so i've unpacked the official miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM_5001481fbb_10.0 rom, and i've found that in the vendor partition, under (vendor)/etc/fstab.qcom there is this entry for DATA partition:
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data [B]f2fs [/B]noatime,nosuid,nodev,nodiscard,fsync_mode=nobarrier,reserve_root=32768,resgid=1065 wait,check,fileencryption=ice,wrappedkey,quota,reservedsize=128M,latemount
So, this phone uses by default a F2FS partition type for DATA????

Yes - stock QFJEUXM 11.0.4, never formatted (or wiped) Data, see screenshot from /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
