Via Muy Linux I found out about a new filesystem created by the electronics giant, Samsung, about a new filesystem designed for memory devices based on technology NAND (those used in many mobile devices, tablets, etc, as well as SD cards or SSDs (Solid state unit) called F2FS (Flash-Friendly File-System)
The person in charge of this announcement has been Jaegeuk Kim through the Linux Kernel Mailing List where announces:
F2FS is a carefully designed new file system for NAND Flash based storage devices.
This filesystem is based on LFS (Log-structured File System) and solves some of its limitations and that is oriented to take advantage of these types of memories behave, theoretically, better than Ext4 or extFAT
Greg Kroah-Hartman, one of the kernel maintainers is interested in it and ensures that it will be easy to integrate the 16 patches released in the core which would increase the performance of this type of memory in our beloved system, anyway, as I read here we can mount devices with this file system through FUSE / MTP even if our system doesn't support it.
I do not know about you, but I want this system to be available soon both for Linux as if to Android if it meets expectations 😀

Another one who joins the FS family: P!
Regards!
It is great to see the commitment of companies that one way or another use Linux in any of their terminals.
And even more if it is a question of avoiding the use of fat.
I had already read it elsewhere, and if it is faster than Ext4, welcome to it 🙂 Another detail I read out there is that it can also be effective on SSDs, I don't know how true that is.
And the last and most important thing: How long will it take to adopt F2FS on Android? 😉
As long as it is to improve everything is welcome ... I did not know that samsumg was designing something like this 0.0
Do you work at LINARO?
