[PATCH 00/16] f2fs: introduce flash-friendly file system

[êìê]

This is a new patch set for the f2fs file system.

What is F2FS?
=============

NAND flash memory-based storage devices, such as SSD, eMMC, and SD cards, have
been widely being used for ranging from mobile to server systems. Since they are
known to have different characteristics from the conventional rotational disks,
a file system, an upper layer to the storage device, should adapt to the changes
from the sketch.

F2FS is a new file system carefully designed for the NAND flash memory-based storage
devices. We chose a log structure file system approach, but we tried to adapt it
to the new form of storage. Also we remedy some known issues of the very old log
structured file system, such as snowball effect of wandering tree and high cleaning
overhead.

Because a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to
its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme aka FTL, we add various
parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation
and cleaning algorithms.

Patch set
=========

The patch #1 adds a document to Documentation/filesystems/.
The patch #2 adds a header file of on-disk layout to include/linux/.
The patches #3-#15 adds f2fs source files to fs/f2fs/.
The Last patch, patch #16, updates Makefile and Kconfig.

mkfs.f2fs
=========

The file system formatting tool, "mkfs.f2fs", is available from the following
download page:		http://sourceforge.net/projects/f2fs-tools/

Usage
=====

If you'd like to experience f2fs, simply:
 # mkfs.f2fs /dev/sdb1
 # mount -t f2fs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/f2fs
