Slitaz & F2FS support

Hello, is there a possibility to add F2FS support to the ISOs?? I want to install Slitaz to 2 machines with 8Gb "disk-on-modules" (w/TRIM) and 1 with an UDMA 16Gb CompactFlash, F2FS seems way better than EXT4 in those cases and it takes little space to add. Plus i like Slitaz for his small footprint and great flexibility 'been using it for almost two years now...

Thanks in advance.

F2FS was introduced in Linux 3.8. SliTaz run the 3.2.71 kernel.

@Bellard

SliTaz 3.2.71 kernel has no F2FS options enabled.

http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/3f734171c28e/linux/stuff/linux-slitaz.config

Boot from F2FS: CONFIG_F2FS_FS=y

Additional F2FS configs:

CONFIG_F2FS_STAT_FS

CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS

CONFIG_F2FS_SECURITY_FS

CONFIG_F2FS_ENCRYTION_FS

Oh I see, didn't know that.

In that case is it possible to do the same with either JFFS2 or YAFFS2? I've tried with the latter on 5.0 RC2, made it work on the Live-ISO, but failed on boot after installing (that kernel didn't had YAFFS2 integrated and couldn't mount rootfs). I'll try again with current rolling and report back.

Slitaz is so slick and lightweight that feels almost perfect-fit for storage devices like SSDs & DOMs, if not for a lack of a proper flash-friendly FS... For the record, EXT4 w/journal disabled works, but doesn't feel quite right.
