F2FS still EXPERIMENTAL

F2FS still EXPERIMENTAL

[HUANG Weller (CM/ESW12-CN)]

Hi  f2fs developers,

I am working on the kernel 3.14. I found the  F2FS still EXPERIMENTAL.
Could you tell me from which kernel version the f2fs is stable version ?
Could you let me know the roadmap about the f2fs ?
Thanks a lot.

Best regards

 Weller HUANG

You can pick a backported f2fs from:

You can take a look at our development status and product information below.

Thanks for your info. 
But I didn't see there is a branch for linux-3.14.y. Does it mean I could not use the f2fs-stable on 3.14 kernel ?

Do you have a chance to change your kernel version?

I've been already maintaining 5 versions actively for android targets, so I'm
not sure I can add one more kernel version for your experiment purpose. I guess
it'd not much difficult to make v3.14 based on v3.18 in f2fs-stable.

Thanks,

Hi Kim,
Yes, it is experiment purpose for future. So it doesn't make sense to add one more kernel version on your side.
I can first follow your suggestion to use f2fs from 3.18.
And thanks a lot for your information.
