[Bug 1173546] New: Provide some way to circumvent "Disabling f2fs" though it's unsupported
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173546 Bug ID: 1173546 Summary: Provide some way to circumvent "Disabling f2fs" though it's unsupported Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: bertocheraphael@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: afaerber@suse.com, bugs@tmarques.com, dleuenberger@suse.com, jeffm@suse.com, lnussel@suse.com, nborisov@suse.com, rbrown@suse.com Depends on: 1109665 Found By: --- Blocker: --- In the discussions about this as the thread linked below it was mentioned that enabling f2fs would be one line commentary away. But after removing the commentary I found out I have no kernel module able to mount f2fs. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2018-10/msg00001.html It's worth mentioning f2fs is currently actively used - especially on mobile platforms and other SoCs. Is it possible to provide a better way to mount an f2fs disk, even though you have dropped it's support, that doesn't involve recompiling the whole kernel every once in a while? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Forgive my ignorance: For re-enabling this kernel option I must configure it on a kernel source directory and manually compile either the source or the .ko, or is there an easier way to accomplish this?
Yes. Modify /boot/config-<version> and use it as a configuration file for kernel source. In any case, I have enabled this for Tumbleweed, so it should be in the repository soon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes. Modify /boot/config-<version> and use it as a configuration file for kernel source.
Thanks. I tried compiling it without using this config file and it wouldn't boot. Next time I'll try that. Shouldn't that configuration be default for the kernel sourcepackage?
In any case, I have enabled this for Tumbleweed, so it should be in the repository soon.
What enabled? If it was a change to CONFIG_F2FS_FS=m, that would be very thoughtful, since that blacklist already prevents unwary use -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It builds kernel-default, if that's what you are asking.
In any case, I have enabled this for Tumbleweed, so it should be in the repository soon.

Yes, CONFIG_F2FS_FS=m is enabled. It is already available in KOTD https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/Kernel:HEAD/kernel-default/stand... Closing as FIXED -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
