Possible to install Linux on f2fs partition ?
Hi.
I have a usb thumb drive with two partitions, an 500MB ext4 and a 7GB f2fs. The idea is to try to install Linux on this usb stick using the ext4 partition as /boot and the f2fs as root.
I tried to launch Mint 20.3 Mate and ran the installer. Upon selecting method, I choosed "something else" and I was able to select the ext4 partition as /boot.
However - the using this installer,there are no real options to use a f2fs partition (it simply missing from the list of possible file systems, and it cannot be used unless already on the list).
I assume therefore that Mint cannot be installed (assign root) on a f2fs partition.
Therefore the question is - is there any Linux distro where the installer actually let the user select a f2fs partition and actually work ?
Or if possible - do something about the Mint installer (or other distro) for a workaround ?
