After converting ext4 to f2fs there is less memory (27110MB vs 3457MB). Any solution?)

I dont know if I got ext3 or ext4 filesystem, how do I check it?
How do I format it in ext4? and what partitions?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of ext3 and ext4?

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.
Hello everyone!,
I have a problem to convert my filesystem to F2FS I
After I wiped everthing,in "changing file system",there isn't a button to convert it to F2FS?

PS: I have the ktoonsez kernel and android 5.0.2
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.
Which partitions should be formatted in f2fs ?
And what difference does f2fs make?
Please explain in simple words.
Thank you.
/data and /cache
Supposedly it's more efficient and faster, although the difference in real-life scenarios is negligible.

Why can't we use f2fs on system and internal memory partition?
I'm no expert at this, just a regular user. But my understanding is that f2fs is suited best for read/write filesystems. As /system is a read-only partition, it makes no sense to use f2fs instead of ext4. There may be some technical reasons behind it apart from this that I'm not aware of, though.
As for the internal storage, you can indeed format it with the f2fs filesystem. In fact, it's just a part of the /data partition. If you format /data, you format /data/media and your internal storage becomes f2fs.
That's all I know. Maybe some ROM developers or experts can give you some more insight about it.
