Hi team, i did a nandroid backup, and noticed twrp reset system to ext4. so then after looking i noticed only the data partition is f2fs. is this standard? or is system normally f2fs?
Hi,
Only data is f2fs, system and cache are ext4.

Having flashed the extended partition zip, no problems at all with customer ROMs :good:
However, looking at the Mi3's mounted partitions, I see Cache is always heavily under-used. It always shows 372MB free, out of 378MB. I have never seen this value change.
Could some of this be switched to the /data partition?
Or to rebuild system1 and system2 to eg 750MB each, so we can safely have dual boot again?
I changed /system partition to f2fs for using temasek. Now I want to change it back to ext4. I converted all the other partitions to ext4 successfully. But when I try to change /system to ext4, it appears to go successfully. However, when I reboot, it still shows f2fs in the TWRP recovery.
I am using latest TWRP recovery (2.8.7.0_7 I believe).
Can anyone help me on this?
if u want to make sure ...just format the sys and if u see the line formatting system ex4_ then it's ext4 and if it's not then flash the latest twrp 2.8.7.0_8 and re-convert sys to ext4
Changed file system to ext4 and then wiped /system partition, now it is successful
Hi all ,
I tried to convert the cache partition to f2fs on my xt1068 but kept getting stuck on boot animation I followed the XDA conversion guide but still failed.my data partition is f2fs.does anyone know if cm13 support cache partition on f2fs or I am doing something wrong.
Steps I followed
Booted in to twrp latest
Made a backup of cache partition
Changed it to f2fs
Put a tick on use rm_rf instead of formating
Then restored cache
It got stuck on boot animation
I also tried wiping but still no joy
Plz help
Thanks in advance
What's the point f2fs on a partition that isn't even used much?

// Also we don't support F2FS for /cache in CM.

Hello guys,..
i tried to change my /cache to f2fs, via TWRP ( 3.0.4-1 ), but whenever i'm back in the system and check,
it was mounted back to ext4.
I have my /data mounted as f2fs already, so i assume my stock 4.1.3 can handle f2fs, right ?
Where did i do wrong ?
Hi, wouldn't it be sufficient to switch to a custom kernel with f2fs driver to be able to run MIUI with a f2fs file system? It is even possible? With LineageOS you still cannot use f2fs on the /system partition (maybe in the initial ramdisk there is no f2fs driver ?) but at least /data and /cache partition, also on MIUI. Is there a way to do that?
I'm trying without success, installed a custom kernel which claims to have f2fs support, formatted the cache partition in f2fs to do some testing, typed the 'df' command in the linux shell but no cache partition is displayed.
Using f2fs on the /system isn't a good idea to begin with, the /system is a read only partition so you wouldn't benefit from anything that f2fs gives.
